Install the protective screen 3D printer SkyOne without protective screen 3D printer SkyOne with protective screen Note: The protective screen is necessary to avoid influences of foreign air flows,(i.e.

  • Page 10: Software Installation

    Install the software Repetier-Host. Please, download the installation pack from the website www.repetier.com/download-now. 3D printer SkyOne is tested on the software Repetier-Host. We do not guaranty stable work in case of usage of another software. Note: The Windows user name should be spelt out in the Latin alphabet. If necessary, create additional profile in the system.
  • Page 11 In the “connection” tab set the next parameters: Connection – Serial connection (connection type); Port – COM (printer SkyOne connection port number). The relevant SkyOne connection port number is detected automatically when choose “Auto” option. But this function is not always working correctly. So it is better to choose the exact port number;...
  • Page 12 Go to tab Printer and set parameters according with the picture below. Go to tab Extruder and set parameters according with the picture below.
  • Page 13 Go to tab Printer Shape and set parameters according with the picture below. After setting all parameters push “Apply” button to apply these changes and close the Printer Settings window. On the tab Object Placement push the button “Add object”. Choose a file *.stl, *.obj, *.3ds or *.gcode.
  • Page 14 It will appear in a work space in the tab 3D View. There are navigation buttons in the left side of the window. The first four buttons change the function of the left mouse button: 1. “Rotation” 2. Object movement 3.
  • Page 15 A list of loaded objects and control buttons for work with objects are located on the right side of the workspace window: Export all displayed objects at once as one file, creation of ready moulds. Add objects to the workspace (stl, .obj, .amf and .3ds). Duplicate the marked objects.
  • Page 16 7. Rotate object. This option allows rotating the object about each of the axises. The button Lay Flat aligns the model over the bed. The Reset button cancels all the model changes. 8. Cross section. This option is used to control cuts of objects and does not influence on the print. Slider boxes in the dialog defining rotation of the cutting plane.
  • Page 17 Open the tab Slicer. It is a software component for transformation of digital mathematical model to an instruction for the 3D printer. It is recommended to use a slicer Slic3r for the 3D printer SkyOne. Slic3r has its own host – interface. To start working with Slic3r and configure it in the needed way press the button “Configuration”.
  • Page 18 After that the chosen configuration will appear in the window. The name of the configuration is the same as the file name (marked with the green color on the picture). To save the configuration it is needed to open tabs “Print Settngs”, “Filament Settings”, “Printer Settings” and press “Save”...

If the option “Easy Mode” is active, this field becomes disabled. It is possible to list previously inserted commands by using of a scroll wheel. The most frequently used G-commands for manual control are: G28 –...
  • Page 20 The next block controls the printing head position relative to the work space. With the arrow keys the printing head is positioned along every of three axises. At the top side of the window the current position of every axis is shown. Red color means that the host doesn’t have information about the printing head real position.
  • Page 21 The bed calibration Before the first print it is needed to calibrate the bed and to align its plane relatively to the extruder motion plane. To change the position of the bed work surface 3 milled nuts are intended. One of them is located in the center of table edge, 2 others - at the corners of the table at the bottom.
  • Page 22 The printing head will move to the position above the third adjusting screw. Repeat the same actions as with first and second screws. After that move the printing head to the origin of the bed by the command G1 X0 Y0 Z0. For the first adjustment it is recommended to repeat the above procedure 2 or 3 times.
  • Page 23 Plastic replacement Before plastic replacement heat the extruder up to 180 degrees. After that execute the next: 1. Pressing the ring of the split 2. Pressing the M6 bolthead of the terminal, take out the guide tube. press lever, take out plastic. Seat the spool with plastic and feed the end of the plastic filament through the feeder tube holder and the guide tube so that it appears about 10cm out the other side.

  • Page 24: First Print

    First print 1. Import the model file to the program Repetier-Host. 2. Orient the model in the operating area in desired way. 3. Prepare the execute program using slicer. 4. Press the button “Connect”, wait while the printer get connected. 5.
