USING AND PRINTING WITH THE OLIVETTI 3D DESK PRINTER
Printing a test piece
On the SD card provided in the package, there are some files that can be used for executing a test print job and
allowing you to gain confidence using the printer.
WARNING: if there is difficulty recognising/reading the SD Card, check the position of the lock slider
on the side of the card. The slider must be set to the unlocked position (so as to enable both reading
and writing).
To print the test piece:
1.
Insert the SD CARD supplied in the package into the slot on the front of the printer
2.
Select the SD Card menu to access the file manager.
3.
Select the file to print (eg Logoolivetti.gcode) by turning the jog dialer and then pressing it to confirm.
4.
The machine now starts the automatic printing procedures reading the GCODE indicated and executing all
the phases. You can follow the process from the info menu and, of course, through the transparent windows
of the machine.
When the print job is run, the printer executes the following procedures:
1.
Homing of all axes,
2.
Heating of hot-end and of table (if required) until the requested temperature is reached
3.
Extrusion of a part of the material for loading into the extrusion chamber
4.
Movement in the printing zone, starting procedure for printing layer on layer.
5.
On completion of the printing process, the machine sends the carriage to the Home position and switches
off the heaters to allow the machine to return to normal environmental temperature.
NOTE: The printing format supported by the Olivetti 3D DESK printer always has the extension .GCODE.
