3D Printer Assembly and Operation Manual Quiz

Safety Instructions

• Safety instructions are included in the document

Technical Specification

• Printing parameters, temperature parameters, software parameters, electrical parameters, and physical parameters are listed

Printing Parameters

• Printing speed is recommended to be 50-60mm/s, but not faster to ensure accuracy

Assembly Instructions

• Figure 1 shows the assembly steps for components
• Figure 6 shows the installation of the top aluminum part
• Figures 8 and 9 illustrate additional assembly steps
• The main board wiring diagram is shown in Figure 10
• The correct voltage mode should be selected according to local voltage ratings, with a switch on the power supply inside the base box (factory default is 220V)

Filament Installation

• Filament should only be inserted into the hotend after it has been preheated
• Bent filament tips should be cut off
• Filament should be rotated if resistance is felt during installation
• Filament should be free of ties or tangles

Leveling Instructions

• Manually insert filament through the Teflon tubing into the hotend after the temperature rises
• Filament should flow through at temperatures above 180-190°C, otherwise, it was not properly inserted
• Customers can remove extruded filament from the nozzle tip with tweezers
• First-layer test prints might result in three different outcomes, shown in Figures 17 and 18 (these figures are not present in the text)

Additional Leveling Steps

• Adjust the four nuts under the platform to ensure a suitable distance between the support plate and the heat bed
• Loosen the Z adjustable nut by X mm if the nozzle is lower than the platform, and tighten it by Y mm if the nozzle is too high (X and Y are defined by the distance between the nozzle and the platform)
• Multiple adjustments might be required
• On the Home menu, click "APPCATION" -> "LEVELING" and then "home" to verify the results

Cura Instructions

• Cura can be downloaded and installed from the provided link (link is not present in the text)
• Machine settings can be adjusted in the Cura software, including basic and advanced options
• Plugins can be added, including Start/End-GCode
• Load 3D models into Cura by selecting "File" -> "Load model file...". Supported file types are STL, OBJ, DAE, and AMF
• Models can be manipulated in Cura by zooming, rotating, changing viewing angle, changing position, and scaling
• There are different viewing modes in Cura, including "Layers" mode to view the toolpath and check for skipped layers or gaps
• Save the GCode file in Cura and confirm that all slices have been included in "Layers view"
• Use only English letters, underscores, and spaces when naming the GCode file

Cura Settings

• Wire diameter is 1.75mm
• Nozzle size is 0.4mm
• Recommended printing speed is 50-60mm/s
• Shell print speed should be reduced to improve flatness of the model surface

Online Printing Instructions

• Install the CH341SER driver from the SD card (Programming software and Driver -> CH341SER)
• Connect the 3D printer to the PC via USB cable
• After the driver installation, a COMx should appear in the Ports section of the Device Manager
• Despite proper installation, an incorrect COMx might still appear in the Ports section
• Configure Cura settings for online printing
• Print online in Cura via the USB connection by selecting "File" -> "Print..."
• After clicking "Print...", a printing window will appear, showing the printing process and allowing temperature control

Test your knowledge on the assembly and operation of a 3D printer. This quiz covers safety instructions, technical specifications, assembly steps, and filament installation guidelines. Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts looking to understand the integration and functioning of 3D printers.
