Introduction

Unboxing and Assembly

Unboxing
Open the case and inspect that all components are included and are in good condition. For reference see table below and point 2.1.

Attaching the pump

Attach the assembled manifold to the pump.

Take the pump head without the cap.

Insert the pump nose into manifold.

Screw on the manifold until it is slightly tightened and the manifold is perpendicular to the trigger. Do not over tighten to prevent rupture of the manifold.

Attach the short straw to the pump.

Nots : Orientation of the straw should be in the direction of applicator.

Screw on the assembled system to the Magigoo bottle

Preparing for first use
Find a surface that can be easily cleaned. For the first time use, the Coater system needs to be primed by pumping several times until the adhesive starts coming out of the valves consistently. After priming wipe the silicone roller with a slightly damp cloth.

Recommendations for use

Before Coating
Prepare the build plate area where to apply the adhesive.

• The build plate area has to be thoroughly cleaned.
• The build plate area has to be well levelled.
• Any imperfection on the applied area may decrease the consistency of the applied coating of adhesive.

How to clean the build plate

Fill the provided spare bottle with water and attach spray head. If possible, remove the bed from the 3D printer for cleaning. Clean only when 3D printer is not operational and build plate is at room temperature. If there are solid debris, use plastic scraper to remove. Spray water on build plate or used Magigoo layer. Clean off with the cloth.

The build surface has to be very clean. Any debris or uneven surface will disrupt the application of an even thin coating.

Do not use hot water. Boiling or hot water may damage the bottle for water or the applicator system.

Coating

The Magigoo Coater is designed and built for use in FDM/FFF 3D printing to cover the build plate of a 3D printer with a thin layer of Magigoo and Magigoo Pro bed adhesives, to ensure reliable 3D printing, reduce warping and provide easy release.
Before using Magigoo Adhesives, read through the adhesive safety data sheet for safe use. Check that the Coater valves and the applicator are clean and dry. If necessary, wipe the applicator and valves with a damp cloth and/or wipe dry prior to using the Coater. If the valves are still clogged, clean the manifold channels. See section 3.2.3 for Manifold cleaning instructions. Avoid using paper towels, as the fabric of the paper may stick to the applicator roller. How to apply:

Place the applicator at the far end of the build surface as shown in the image.

Pump the coater once. If the new glue bottle has been attached and not primed, pump until the glue dots form on the surface/applicator.

Slide across the bed, spreading the Magigoo adhesive. Roll back and forth to smoothen out the surface.

When spreading Magigoo the silicon roller might slip without rotating. In this case the Magigoo adhesive is still being effectively applied.

Looking against the light you should see a very thin even coating of Magigoo.

Wipe clean the valves and applicator with a damp cloth immediately.

!
NB! If changing adhesive type in between the use of the Coater, the manifold channels have to be properly cleaned. See how to clean in point 3.2.3 Cleaning the Manifold.

Cleaning the manifold

When storing the Coater away or when changing the type of adhesive , the internal channels of manifold need to be cleaned thoroughly. Clean the manifold in a safe place away from other people, ideally inside a sink or secondary container.
How to clean manifold:

Remove the adhesive bottle and close with a cap.

Note  Do not use hot water. Boiling or hot water may damage the bottle for water or the applicator system.

Place the assembled manifold into a bottle with water.

Pump at least 15 times or until the water coming outlooks clean. Water may spray in different directions.

Adhesive compatibility

The Magigoo Coater should be used only with adhesives produced by Thought3D under the brand Magigoo or other Thought3D approved adhesives. The Magigoo Coater has been designed to work with Magigoo and Magigoo Pro 3D printing build plate adhesives. For more information on how to get the best performance out of Magigoo adhesive products refer to User Manual for Magigoo Products (www.magigoo.com/tested-materials) “GETTING THE MOST OUT OF MAGIGOO PRODUCTS”. For safety, always read the Safety Data Sheet for each glue type before use.

Table of adhesives and material compatibility and performance.

For more information about the compatibility of Magigoo adhesives with different materials, printers and printing surfaces visit our tested materials database on www.magigoo.com/tested-materials, or reach out to info@magigoo.com.

Maintenance

The Coater is designed to be used on a daily basis. The components like applicator, valves and pump may lose original functionality with normal wear and tear. If applied coating is inconsistent, check if valves need to be cleaned or replaced. The Coater should still function well, with 1-2 valves not working properly. If the Coater is not producing a thin layer when swiped, check if there is any debris on the surface or if the applicator has any damage. Removing the debris from the surface or replacing the applicator may be necessary. Clean the valves and applicator after each use. Clean the manifold when storing away for several days or more or when changing the type of adhesive.
