When printing Springs, I recommend printing both at the same time. Also let the cool completely before handling. I found that handling them while warm causes them to lose their spring tension.

When Cleaning the Base check the grooves on the sides, sometimes a string of filament will not adhere to the print.

Step 1

Insert Springs into base. Square peg into Square hole.

Step 2

Install retainer over springs. There are slots in the base on the sides that the retainer will snap into. Insert one end of the retainer into the slot, the push the other end of the retainer until it snaps into the slot.

The retainer helps hold the springs in place.

Step 3

Drop Tray into base. Push down on tray, it should spring back up smoothly.

Step 4

Slide Top onto Base, make sure the slot on the base is to the back...see photo. After fully sliding Top into place make sure it is in the grooves. Then check to see if end of top is not bowed down, if so remove top and clean the grooves on the Base. If the top is bowed down then cards will not slide out easily.

To install the Business Cards, slide Top back about 3/4 of the way and insert cards.

Do not fill completely, this will cause the first few cards difficult to dispense. With Thick cards it holds about 17 nicely, with thinner cards about 22.

To dispense a card, from the back push down with thumb then push forward. The card should dispense about half way, making it easy for client to grab.
