In order to start printing:
1.
Start the printer if it was switched off.
2.
Insert the SD card into the SD card slot (fig. 41).
3.
Select the
option from the main menu.
4.
Select the file to be printed from the file manager (fig. 20). To navigate the files, use the arrows on the right side of the
menu. A file can be selected by pressing directly on its name.
5.
Confirm your selection by pressing the
key.
6.
The printer will automatically start the heating procedure. When the correct temperatures are reached, the printing
process will start automatically.
7.
When the printing process is completed, the printer will start the automatic process of cooling the hotends and heatbed.
Do not remove the printout before the cooling process is completed. Otherwise, the printed model may get deformed or
the heatbed may get damaged.
8.
When the cooling process is completed, you can gently separate the printout from the ceramic heatbed using a spatula.

ASSESSMENT OF THE PRINTER OPERATION QUALITY
After the first printout, the printer operation quality can be preliminarily assessed. Pay attention to the following elements:
1.
shape of model base (elephant foot),
2.
seam,
3.
general geometry,
4.
quality of side walls and top wall.
Another factor to be considered is the heatbed position when printing the first layer. Examples with descriptions are shown in
figures 42, 43, 44.
Too high position of the heatbed
The distance between the heatbed and the nozzle is too
small. The material is pushed outside the nozzle when
printing the first layer. This leads to deformation of the
printed model base. This indicates that the heatbed
recalibration is required (chapter III, point 3.1).
The distance between the nozzle and the heatbed can be
adjusted also during printing. To do this, choose
Controls
option on the display and lower the heatbed by clicking
Lower heatbed
(one click moves the heatbed by 0.025mm
along Z axis).
The heatbed in proper position
The material is laid regularly. The entire surface of the model
base is covered with material and the upper surface of the
first layer is a regular, flat and solid surface.
