was completely assembled when we received it. In
addition, the user guide provides further details about
the settings and images describing the functioning of
the machine. Furthermore, features such as automatic 3D Adept Mag
calibration enable the user to save time and to have a
rapid control of the machine.

In order to facilitate the removal of objects after
printing, the manufacturer recommends the use of a
glue on the tray.
The automated 3D printer manages the upgrade of
the removable tray at each launch, ensuring accurate
and consistent work. The print file being selected,
the expected printing time is displayed on the touch
screen of the machine.

Once the printing process has started, an LED light
whose color changes according to the steps of the
printing is activated, thereby making the printing
process more lively to the printing process.

can be also done using the SD card provided with the
accessories. However, once the 3D model is edited,
it is converted to the “g.code“ file format (it is the file
format recognized by this printer).

Apart from the StratoSoftware, the user can use the
mobile application Stratomobile (Android or iOS). Just
as software, it enables the user to remotely control
the printing.
