I.1 Introduction

The JGAURORA A5 User Guide was written to help new A5 users to start their printing journey with the

JGAURORA A5. Even if you are familiar with earlier JGAURORA machines or experienced with 3D printing technology,

we still recommend that you read through this guide, as there is lots of important information about the A5, that will

help you have a better 3D printing experience.

1.2 Safety Advice

1) During printing, the temperature of the printing nozzle tip can heat up to 250

. To avoid being burned, be

careful to avoid touching the nozzle while it is hot. The heated bed can also heat up to 100C, so please allow the bed

to cool down after printing, before you try to remove your completed prints.

2) While the printer is operating, there is a danger of hands or fingers being crushed by moving parts. To prevent

injury, please keep hands and long hair safely away from moving components, while the printer is operating.

3) Always use the A5 with a properly grounded outlet. Do not modify the A5 power plug.

Attention: Before power on, please check the input power is compatible with your local standard.( Method:

Observe the power switch at the hole of back base, if your local voltage is 230V, then adjust it to 230V, Similarly,

if the voltage is 115V, then adjust it to 115V. This process is described in detail in Chapter 2.)

4) When the A5 continuously work over 96 hours, it should be stop for 1-3 hours to restart.

5) Please be careful when removing prints. The print bed is a glass sheet, so to avoid damage, please avoid using

excessive force. We recommend wearing protective glasses while removing prints. If you are using a spatula or

scraper to remove prints, please wear gloves to protect your hands from serious injury, and be careful not to damage

the print bed surface.

1.3 Filament requirements

Do not abuse the filament. Please make sure you use the JGAURORA filament or the filament from the brands

certified by JGAURORA. All polymers degrade with time. Do not unpack until filament is needed. Filament should be

stored at room temperature:15-30ºC, and in dry conditions.

PLA filament in particular can absorb moisture from the air, to become brittle and unsuitable for printing. If you

are not printing for extended periods of time, it is recommended to remove the filament and store it in an air-tight

box. Use the filament holes in the spool to hold the loose end of the filament, to prevent it coming loose and

becoming tangled.

1.4 Environmental requirements

The ambient temperature in the printing enviroment should be between 5 to 4ºC, with humidity between 20%

1. Preface

2

to 50%. Using the printer outside of these conditions may result in reduced or inconsistent printing quality.
