3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE Installing and Replacing Filament 1. Important notes: “Installing and replacing filament must heat extruder firstly”, heating method reference later. 2. Install the axletree to the chassis at the corresponding screw hole. 3. Put filament reel on the axletree, ensure filament without wrapping, knotting and other anomalies.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE Brief Slice and Printing Procedure 1. Open“CreatBot 3D Printer V4.x”software: 1、Open 2、Save GCode 2. Click “File”-> “Load model file”load model file. 3. Click “File”-> “Save GCode”. 4. Copy the GCode file to SD card, use SD card printing the model, and you can also printer the model at mentioned below: 5.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE Usage of Cura Software The software's main role is to slice model into a series of two-dimensional plane pieces, each piece according to the shape dimension generate different paths to generate three-dimensional model GCode entire code, also called slices code, the exported file called slice files, extensions named ".GCode".

“Extruder2” You can fine-tune the position of Vice-nozzle, which according to the actual situation stud print calibration, 3DCPI-03 printer defaults to using X-20, Y0 configuration, if your printer to print double-color model has a misalignment occurs, appropriate modifications X , Y offset value.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE withdrawing a certain amount of filament in order to eliminate the phenomenon of draglines. Top / bottom thickness is the thickness of the upper and lower models, usually a multiple of layer height. Fill density controls how density filled the insides of your print will be, a value around 20% is usually enough.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE nozzle temperature to compensate. Nozzle temperature is the melting temperature of filament, different manufactures have different melting temperature, general use 210 degrees with PLA, ABS with 240, too high or too low temperature can cause abnormal filament feed.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE Attachment means use Brim like which method to fixed boundary model platform. “Brim” refers to create a boundary edge around the model, it is easy remove (recommended),“Raft” refers to create a grid at the bottom of the model.
Page 23
3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE parameters to match the size of your printouts, too big too small will causing abnormal feeding。 Retract the filament when the nozzle is moving over a none-printed area, the speed is about 80~100, distance base on actual situation.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE Speed at which infill parts are printed. If set to 0 then the print speed is used for the infill. Usually 1.5 times the print speed. Minimum time spend in a layer, gives the layer time to cool down before the next layer is put on top.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE minimal speed. Create a solid top surface, if set to false the top is filled with the fill percentage. Useful for cups/vases. Create a solid bottom surface, if set to false the bottom is filled with the fill percentage. Useful for buildings.

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE The Use of Dual-nozzle 3DCPI-03 3D printer launched the first dual-nozzle printing perfect solution, using a dual-nozzle printer, you can not only print dual-color model but also use main nozzle print model and vice nozzle print support.
Page 32
3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE “support dual extrusion” option on the basic panel. 3、Advance using of dual-nozzle. Replace the main nozzle with vice-nozzle, sometimes we want to use vice-nozzle subtitude main nozzle, to achieve the above functions , it is necessary to manually modify the GCode file.
