● Extruder Controls: You can set the value of "Motor Speed(RPM)", which can
control the rotation speed of filament feeding wheel. The motor rotation time can be
controlled via setting the value of "Extruder Duration".Generally we suggest the
users choose option of continuous time 60 seconds. The filament must loaded in the
extruder before motor starts. Therefore, do not start rotation operation until the
extruder temperature reach the printing temperature of filament. For PLA
filament, the extruder temperature should reach 220℃, after reaching the extruder
temperature, click the [Forward]/[Reverse] rotation button to control filament load
and filament unload. Furthermore, if you want to stop filament load and unload, you
can click [Stop].
● Temperature Control: Input the temperature you want to get in the left frame,
click [Apply], the printer will automatically heat the corresponding part, the right side
shows the current actual temperature of corresponding part. After start heating, the
below curve of temperature form will start to change, different color correspond
different parts' temperatures
② Update Firmware
Every time when you start Flashprint, it will automatically detect and download the
up-to-date firmware. If any update is available, a dialog box will pop up for reminding
the users to update.
Step 1: Click [Tools]--[Update firmware]. It needs to cut off connection before
