1.
Raise the nozzle temperature to the filament loading temperature and clean the
inside of the nozzle with the provided 1.8 cleaning pin.
2.
Clean the outside of the nozzle with the cutting scissors and tweezers.
3.
Set the nozzle temperature to (a theoretical) 0°C, which drives the extruder to room
temperature.
4.
Clean impurities and grease on the bed glass plate with a glass cleaner.
5.
When the extruder has been replaced, connect to the instrument in NewCreatorK
and execute "Set Measure Probe" located at the bottom of the control window to set
the distance between the autoleveling sensor and the nozzle tip. Refer to [When the
extruder has been replaced].
6.
When the extruder is replaced, connect to the equipment in NewCreatorK and
execute "PID Tuning" located at the bottom of the Basic window to minimize the
temperature change of the nozzle. Refer to [When the extruder has been replaced].
7.
If the bed is twisted a lot, perform standard leveling using the LCD UI. Refer to
[Standard Leveling Method].
8.
Check that the filament has been pre-warmed sufficiently in the oven before use. The
resulting print from a filament loading test must have a smooth surface.
9.
In the case of PEEK and ULTEM® filaments, make sure to pre-heat in the oven to
remove any residual humidity.
10.
To improve surface quality over tensile strength when printing with PEEK or ULTEM®,
it is recommended to set the line width ratio to be 100.
11.
In the case of low-temperature filaments (i.e. exclude PEEK and ULTEM®), disable the
filament pre-warm settings. If not, the low-temperature filament may change
properties and lead to poor filament loading and print quality overall..
12.
When printing with PLA, the bed heat may affect the overall heating up of the
chamber, leading to compromised print quality. Therefore, it is recommended to start
printing with the top door open. (In the case of ABS, chamber temperature control is
critical; please print with the top door closed.)
[Cautions when powering off the equipment]
Nozzle may get clogged when the power is turned off at a high temperature, so turn off the
equipment when the nozzle temperature is below 50°C.
[Points to check when printing is not on platform due to uneven bed]
1.
Make sure that the gap between the nozzle and the bed is uniform. Check with a piece
of print paper during standard leveling with the upper door closed.
2.
During standard leveling, start with all knobs tightened to the max and check the bed
