Study Notes
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
