Please refer to these steps during every print to ensure the best quality.
Before Printing
5.
Ensure your GCODE fi le is correctly setup, fi lament diameter is set to to 1.75mm and correct
temperature settings for the material you are using.The I3 MiNi prints PLA fi lament.
Depending on the type of PLA fi lament ,temperations can rangs from 180 to 210
°C. If you
are unsure,start with 190
°C
6.
Check all cables and connerctors are connected and the printer is on a stable surface
7.
Check that Heated Print Bed is level and approximately 0.1mm from the nozzle
8.
Check that Heated Print Bed is clean and dust free and nozzle does not have excess material
stuck to it
Always check Gcode
fi le settings match
fi lament and printer
Always check
Print Mat is clean
and there is no
residual plastic
Always check Extruder
& Print Bed
Temperatures are set
for correct fi lament type
Always check all
cords are
connected
Always check
Extruder distance is
0.1mm from Print Mat
Always check
Print Bed is level
During Printing
1.
Closely monitor the fi rst layer being printed – Most problems, like poor adhesion and
warping, will occur in the fi rst layer. If problems occur, stop the 3D Printer in the menu or
power off the printer
2.
Do not leave the 3D Printer unattended while in operation
3.
Keep hands clear while machine is operating
After Printing
1.
Wait for the Extruder to cool down
2.
Carefully remove 3D Object. Never use Scraper towards your body. Keep Scraper evenly fl at
when scraping to avoid damage to the Heated Print Bed. Damaged Heated Print Beds/ mats
may affect adhesion for future prints
3.
Store 3D printer in a clean, dry environment
