Overview

Donated by Bill Steele. Please do not attempt to adjust any mechanical pieces on this machine!!


Uses 1.75mm PLA as a printing material. Other materials may have been tested. Ask around!

This Polar is similar to the original Polar, except that it connects via cloud.polar3d.com

The polar has problems with connecting to the internet sometimes if the power plug is pulled. The light up "Polar 3D" on the printer can help display it's current status. When the '3D' is White, it's connected to the cloud.
