Connect to Altair 3D Printer
1. Plug the USB cord from the Altair into your computer
3. Open the folder.
4. These are the files that come preloaded on your Altair.
5. If you have had your printer for a while you may have more.
6. To remove the old firmware select these three files and delete them.
7. Go to the Archive Config Files and “Copy” these three files.
NOTE: Do not cut, remove, or delete these files. Keep these ones in case of problems in the future.
8. Return to the main Altair folder and “Paste” the three files you just copied.
9. Note that the “firmware” file is a “.bin” file. This means it has not been installed yet.
10. Eject your Altair 3D printer and turn it off.
11. Turn the Altair 3D printer back on and plug the USB back into your computer.
12. When prompted by AutoPlay, open the folder again.
