Operation guidelines:
Step 1: power supply
Connect the adapter to the power outlet, then plug the adapter connector into the power source
hole of the pen. The LED next to the screen will then turn yellow to indicate that the device is on.
Step 2: selection of filament type
LED screen would display
“
PLA
” or “
ABS
”, press the “
material/temperature button
” to choose the
correct filament type.
Step 3: preheating
Press
“
wire feeding
” button, the LED next to the screen would turn red to indicate entering
pre-heating mode. LED screen would then display the actual nozzle temperature. Once the LED
turns green, this indicates that preheating is completed (it takes about 30 seconds to pre-heat).
Step 4: extrusion speed selection
Press
“
speed control buttons
” to choose the extrusion speed (speed 5 is default speed, speed 8 is
fastest). These buttons only work when there is no extrusion (LED screen is green).
Step 5: load filament
Insert the filament into
the “
wire feeding hole
” at the end of the pen and press “
feeding button
” to
load the filament. Once the melted filament appears at the tip of the pen, you can start drawing.
Step 6: drawing
Please, select a proper extrusion speed before you start drawing (see step 4 above). Note that
different color of the same type of filament might have different melting temperature. You may
consider to slightly adjust the temperature according to the filament.
Step 7: continuous and intermittent extrusion mode
To use the
continuous extrusion mode
: press
the “
feeding button
” once. The pen will then extrude
and feed the filament automatically all the time. Press
the “
feeding button
” again and the feeding
would stop for up to 8 minutes. To switch the
intermittent extruding mode
on double click the
“
feeding button
” and hold it on. Then the pen would start the extrusion. Release the button to pause
the extrusion.
Step 8: change/unload filament
Make sure LED screen is green, then press and hold the
“
unload button
” for 3 seconds, then
release it. The pen would then start unloading the filament. Once filament no longer moves
backward, gently pull it out of the pen and then press
the “
unload button
” again to stop the
unloading.
Note:
it is highly recommended to unload the filament when pen is not in use.
