H800 3D Printer Congratulations, you and your Afinia H800 will make great things together “The Afinia H800 is an exemplary printer that sets new standards in safety and HD print quality”...
USER'S MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS 1SAY HELLO TO THE Afinia H800 ....................3 1.1 Afinia H800 at a glance ......................4 1.2 Print Head and mounting..................... 5 1.3 Touch Panel ........................... 5 1.4 Status Display ........................6 ...
1.2 Print Head and mounting 1.3 Touch Panel You can do a lot with your Afinia H800 by using the Touch Panel, so it follows your every command. You also use the Afinia software to control the Afinia H800. 5 / 20...
The progress on reaching the platform target temperaturewhen pre-heating the platform b.) The overall print progress during printing. Located on the front of the platform is the heart beat of the Afinia H800, which indicates the state of the printer.
1.5 What's included The Afinia H800 comes in an even bigger box filled with everything you need to kick start your desktop factory into action. 7 / 20...
The internal honeycomb structure that gives the part strength Smart Support The Afinia software automatically generates the required supports / scaffold to support any overhangs of the model during printing. Much like building a bridge over water and having scaffolding to support it.
STEP 1 - UNPACK You'll need a friend in this step to help you remove the Afinia H800 from its box. It's BIG! Lift it onto a table and then pull out the foam packaging and remove the cable ties that hold each axis in place.

STEP 4 - LOAD FILAMENT Remove the magnetic spool cover, then remove the spool of Afinia Premium ABS from its packaging. TIP: Always keep tension on the filament. Never let go of the end of the filament, or it will coil under itself and possibly tangle itself.

STEP 9 - EXTRUSION! Click 3D Print and Maintenance then Click New Spool, select ABS, OK Click Extrude(beep) You'll start to notice the Nozzle temperature starts rising. Once it gets to 260c (beep) push the filament into the print head and you should start to see a thin string come out of the nozzle.
Doing an initialization zeros each axis to the printers starting point. For example if the print head crashed into a model, the head could slip on the belt and you would then need to stop the print and initialize. This can be done using either the touch panel or Afinia software. TOUCH PANEL...
6 AUTO CALIBRATION When a building is constructed, you must always have a level foundation. The same goes for 3d printing. Without a level platform to print onto or if the distance between the nozzle and platform are incorrect, problems will occur during printing, such as warping.
7 PLATFORM LEVELING There are three different way to level the build platform 7.1 Automatic Leveling This is the easiest method and if using this then you may not need to use the other two methods below. This stores the nine point calibration in the Platform Calibrate window. The platform doesn't physically level, the variance is measured by the platform calibration and when printing the raft this variance is accounted for.

Click the FLand FR buttons to check the back and under the underneath thumbwheel to align the back height. Once you’ve leveled the platform, run the Automatic Leveling. After it’s complete, check the variances in the Platform Calibration. Always check the nozzle height after manually leveling the platform. Click 3D Print then Maintenance.
8 LOADING & UNLOADINGFILAMENT You can either use the touch panel buttons to extrude or withdraw the filament from the print head. TIPS: Always keep tension on your spool, otherwise your filament will become tangled. Always withdraw your previous filament before loading new filament. Click New Spool if changing between ABS or PLA 8.1 Loading / extrude filament Cut the end of the new filament off so the filament has a clean edge to enter...
It is recommended to replace your nozzle every 300 hours or 6 months. Either choose the cost of time involved or cost of replacement for cleaning. For best results obtain the "Afinia Essentials" tool kit. What you need: •...
