Term Definition
Build Platform The flat surface used by your Dremel 3D40 to build objects. The build platform is
comprised of a tempered glass plate with a plastic holder.
Build Platform Clip Clip located at the front of the build platform base that is used to secure the build platform
in place.
Build Tape Adhesive tape that improves the consistency of your objects and helps them stick to the
build plate surface.
Build Volume The three dimensional (3D) amount of space that an object will use once it is completed.
Your Dremel 3D40 has a maximum build volume which means that objects with a larger
build volume cannot be built unless they are resized or broken into sub-objects.
Door Your Dremel 3D40 has a door located on the front panel. This allows for easy access to
the build platform, extruder, filament, and your objects. This door is made with a
transparent material so you can monitor the progress of your objects while keeping the
build environment stable.
Ethernet Port A local area wired networking technology that allow electronic devices to communicate.
Extruder An assembly that uses gears to pull filament through the extruder intake, heat the filament
to the build temperature, and push the heated filament out of the extruder tip.
Extruder Fan A fan used to cool the outer assembly of the extruder and gear motor.
Extruder Fan Baffle A plastic piece that directs air from the extruder fan onto the build platform to assist in
cooling the active build.
Extruder Intake An opening located at the top of the extruder where filament is inserted for building.
Extruder Lever A lever located on the side of the extruder that is used to loosen the grip of the extruder
gear motor.
