3.1 Touch screen function
3.1.1 Power on, the touch screen brightens and the buzzer beeps. The
touch screen is shown as below.
3.1.2 Click any position of the screen and enter the operation interface. In
the menu of “Print”, the column of “File” displays the name of the file to
be printed. If the USB flash drive is not inserted, the inverted triangle is
grey.
3.1.3 After the USB flash drive is inserted, the inverted triangle turns blue,
and the pull-down menu displays the file to be printed.
3.1.4 Choose the file to be printed such as “CUBE”. The printing interface
pops up and the button “START” turns blue from grey, which indicates
that the printing can be started. Temperatures of the extruder and the
build plate are set as shown in the figure.
3.1.5 Click “START” to begin printing. If the extruder or the build plate’s
temperature does not reach the set value, the GP3D Root Plus will first
heat it (note: the platform will be first heated till its temperature rises to
the set value, and then the extruder will be heated. Only when the
extruder’s temperature rises to the set value, the GP3D Root Plus begins
to print, so the platform’s temperature should be set no less than the
ambient temperature).
3.1.6 Printing will start once the heating is completed. “Progress” displays
progress of printing with the unit of 1%. “Option” is the current state of
the GP3D Root Plus, which is displayed as “Recess” when there is no print
task, as “Heating” when the GP3D Root Plus is heated and as “Printing”
when the printing is underway.
3.1.7 To cancel the printing, click “STOP” and the following interface
appears.
