Assembly Manual
Arduino Materia 101
We are excited that you have decided to take part in this new
industrial revolution. Like all new technology, it is pioneers like
you who will lead the real innovation. Your new Arduino 3D
printer will give you the freedom to create all the objects you
can imagine.
This machine is the latest result of the experience we have
collected through all the previous models. Your advice will help
us to improve our products and together with you, we can set
new standards for future desktop printers.
We believe that sharing is the best way to innovate so we invite
you to tell us your thoughts at www.arduino.cc
We look forward to seeing what you will create with the
Materia 101!

Please note: any parts that you have le over at the end of the
assembly, keep them: they should be used as spare parts in the future.

TO COMPLETE THE
ASSEMBLY YOU WILL
NEED THE FOLLOWING
TOOLS:
- 2.5 Allen Key
- 1.5 Allen Key
- 3 Allen Key
- Medium size cross head
(Phillips) screwdriver
- Small size flathead
screwdriver
- Seeger pliers
- Scissors
- Soft solderer
- Multimeter

- Adhesive tape
- Hair dryer or lighter
NOTES
Screws could loosen because of damage or from vibration
so use threadlock on each screw that touches a metal part.
Threadlock is a liquid that fills in the gaps between the threads
of screws and hardens into a rubber like substance or glue.
We suggest Loctite 221, a low resistance threadlocker for the
some screws. You can also use teflon tape.
We suggest using sewing machine oil to lubricate the Z axis
bearings and guide rods.
Arduino’s Materia 101 Assembly Kit is meant for a user who
already has experience with assembly. The manual assumes
the user knows how to use a soldering iron.
