Step 2: Install the Wi-Fi antenna
Screw the Wi-Fi antenna onto the jack on the back of the unit, next to the power, USB, and Ethernet ports.
Step 3: Prepare the printer for use with an inert gas atmosphere (optional)
The Fuse 1+ 30W can print with an inert gas atmosphere. The printer’s nitrogen inlet accepts a gas source with an ⅛” NPT connector or can be adapted to a ¼” quick disconnect connector. If you plan to print with an inert gas atmosphere:
- Locate the nitrogen inlet at the bottom-left corner of the back of the printer.
- Remove the plug from the inlet.
If your nitrogen source uses ¼” quick disconnect connector:
- Remove the hose coupling from the accessory tray.
- Screw the hose coupling into place.
- Tighten until snug.
Step 4: Connect the nitrogen source (optional)
If you previously installed the included ¼” quick disconnect adapter, use a ¼” quick disconnect connector to connect the nitrogen supply to the nitrogen interface at the rear of the Fuse 1+. Otherwise, connect the nitrogen supply to the nitrogen interface using an ⅛” NPT connector.
Step 5: Install the IR sensor O-ring
The Fuse 1+ uses an O-ring around the IR sensor shaft to improve print enclosure sealing. This prevents IR sensor contamination, helping reduce the likelihood of a print failure. Depending on the date of manufacture of your printer, this O-ring may come preinstalled or may be included with the printer packaging. If your printer came with a separately-packaged O-ring, install the O-ring:
- Remove the O-ring from its packaging.
- Open the IR sensor door at the top of the printer.
- Grip the IR sensor cap and pull. The IR sensor is held in place with magnets and comes out with little force.
- Slide the O-ring onto the IR sensor shaft until it reaches the cap.
- Push the IR sensor cap into the mount. The LED turns green when it is fully connected.
- If the LED turns orange:
- Push the cap into the mount until you feel the magnets click together.
- Rotate the cap in a clockwise direction until it comes to a halt and cannot rotate further.
- Close the access door.
