Extruder Intake An opening located at the top of the extruder where filament is inserted for building.
Extruder Push Lever A lever located on the side of the extruder that is used to loosen the grip of the
extruder gear motor.
Extruder Tip A nozzle located at the bottom of the extruder where heated filament is forced out for
building.
Filament A threadlike strand of plastic material.
Filament Spool A cylindrical piece on which a long strand of filament is wound for storage and
continuous use.
Filament Guide Tube A plastic piece that guides the filament from the filament spool through a passage in
the outer housing of your Dremel 3D20.
Leveling Knobs Knobs located under the build platform base that are used to create proper spacing
between the extruder tip and the build platform.
Leveling Tool Calibrated leveling pad with detailed markings and directions for use.
PLA A bioplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch.
Needle Nose Pliers Common tool used to hold small objects and to grab excess material that may be too
hot to touch directly.
Object Removal Tool A tool used to separate your objects from the build platform.
SD Card A portable memory card used on a wide array of devices such as cameras.
Spool Holder A plastic piece located to the left of the build platform inside your Dremel 3D20 build
area that is designed to hold a filament spool.
Spool Lock A plastic piece which locks the filament spool to the spool holder. This piece is
inserted through the center of the filament spool, into the spool holder, and turned to
lock.
Stepper Motor A brushless DC electric motor used to drive the guide rails and extruder gears.
.STL File A common digital file format used in a wide range of 3D model software. This file is
created in 3rd party 3D software or downloaded from www.digilab.dremel.com.
.3dremel File Dremel’s digital file format that is used by your Dremel 3D20 to properly process
models.
.G3Drem File A buildable file format compatible with your Dremel 3D20.
Touch Screen Full color display that is touch activated. It allows you to monitor your Dremel 3D20
and objects while also providing commands directly to your Dremel 3D20 without the
use of a computer.
Unclog Tool A tool used to clear the extruder of excess debris.
X-Axis Guide Rails A set of rails on either side of the extruder that allow a stepper motor to move the
extruder to the left or right side of the build area.
Y-Axis Guide Rails A set of rails on either side of the build area that allow a stepper motor to move the
extruder to the front or back of the build area.
Z-Axis Guide Rails A set of rails located at the back of the build area that allow a stepper motor to move
the build platform up or down.
