3.1 | 7 | == Setup == |
| 8 | |||
| 9 | If the screen on the front is dark, the printer is probably off. The on/off button is at the front left. | ||
| |
4.1 | 10 | \\[[image:image9.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="453px" width="500px"]] |
| |
3.1 | 11 | |
| 12 | == Navigation == | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | The knob on the right of the machine is used for navigating the printer settings. Turn the knob to toggle through menu items. Press the knob to submit the menu item, and to back out there is often a "Main" item that will take you back. | ||
| 15 | |||

4.1 | 16 | [[image:image35x.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="368px" width="500px"]] |
| |
3.1 | 17 | |
| 18 | == Loading filament == | ||
| 19 | |||
| |
5.3 | 20 | 1. Unload old filament first using [[this section of the guide>>doc:Workflows.3D Printing.Preparing To Print.WebHome]]. |
| |
4.1 | 21 | 1. Navigate to the (% class="mark" %)##Change filament##(%%) option [[image:image6.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="346px" width="500px"]][[image:image37.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="340px" width="500px"]] |
| 22 | 1. Select your material type from the list. It will then heat to the temperature associated with that material. [[image:image22.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="358px" width="500px"]][[image:image8.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="340px" width="500px"]] | ||
| 23 | 1. When it prompts you, load the filament into the nozzle and press the knob. [[image:image26.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="338px" width="500px"]][[image:image16.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="500px" width="499px"]][[image:image3.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="335px" width="500px"]] | ||
| 24 | 1. Some of the old colour may be remaining in the system so continually press the knob until it extrudes with the correct colour. [[image:image29.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="349px" width="500px"]] | ||
| |
3.1 | 25 | |
| 26 | == Insert SD card == | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | The MicroSD card goes into the hole at the front of the machine, as pictured. Be careful when inserting it because there is a gap around the card reader which is large enough to insert the MicroSD card. | ||
| 29 | |||
| |
4.1 | 30 | [[image:image19.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="412px" width="500px"]] |
| |
3.1 | 31 | |
| 32 | == Printing == | ||
| 33 | |||
| |
5.1 | 34 | 1. Once your MicroSD card is in the printer, select the (% class="mark" %)##Print from Media##(%%) option, and navigate through the file system to your file. [[image:image32.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="351px" width="500px"]][[image:image40.jpg||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" height="355px" width="500px"]] |
| |
3.1 | 35 | 1. The bed will heat to the target temperature. This is done so that the first layer of extruded material is able to stick to it more easily |
| 36 | 1. After heating the bed, it will perform a bed levelling procedure. | ||
| 37 | 1. After the bed levelling procedure, it will start to print. It's worth standing by and watching the first layer or two of the print, because if something is going to go wrong in the print it is most likely to go wrong in the first couple of layers. | ||
