The T1000 has an onboard web interface which is called the G3D Web UI. It isa software that integrates with the T-1000 to print 3D objects.

There are three ways to connect to T-1000’s G3D Web UI. Connection can bethru printer wifi, home wifi or the ethernet. You need to access first the Web UIvia G3D or Printer Wifi to be able to configure the other connections.

PRINTER ACCESSIBILITY CONFIGURATION

a. Connect via G3D or Printer Wifi

1. Search the “G3DPrinter” (SSID) wifi in the network. It automatically appears 15 seconds after you power on the T-1000.

2. Enter the password “G3D54321” to connect to the G3D wifi.

Calibrating the VAT has similar procedures with positioning the build plate, onlythis time you need to include the adjustment of calibration levers. It is important tocalibrate the VAT after a failed print or when you need to replace the VAT.

See “Removing the VAT” on page 46 to replace a VAT. See “Setting the VAT” on page 9 to replace a VAT.

1. Pour resin into the VAT before starting to print. Never fill up the VAT full. To avoid overflow and spill of resin inside the printer, VAT should be filled until the max line.

The projector of the printer has a default xy resolution setting of 175 µm. If you will print an object with a different xy resolution, change the xy resolution of the projector and adjust the focus of the projector. The resolution of the projector should always match the resolution of the object. See “Adjusting the XY resolution of the projector” on page 28.

See “Focusing the projector” on page 32.

1. Press <G3Dit> button to start to print.

Do not stare at the UV light.
