Summary of Contents for felfil evo

  • Page 1 Complete Kit...
  • Page 2 Felfil Evo is a plastic filament extruder, able to produce filaments for 3D printers starting from industrial pellets or plastics wastes. The Felfil Evo Complete Kit includes all the components of the Felfil Evo project; In order to obtain optimal extrusion resutls, please follow the details of the complete project.
  • Page 3 - Some polymers can undergo thermal decomposition resulting in potentially toxic fumes. So always use the Felfil Evo in a well ventilated area, or inprecence of a suction hood (not your bedroom or inside your house), and understand the thermal decomposition properties of the polymer you are extruding.

  • Page 33 Complete Kit Manual In order to obtain the best quality filament, Felfil Evo is designed to be placed on a common and stable table and to extrude on the floor. The height of extrusion is called drop, and tipically is about 80cm.
  • Page 34 Plug the AC power cord into an electrical outlet. Set the power switch to the [ I ] position The Felfil Evo will display welcome text on the LCD panel. This is the beginning of the script that will guide you through the extrusion.
  • Page 35: User Interface

    In the first step you can set the temperature turning the knob Then press the knob to confirm Felfil Evo is heating, wait untill it reaches the setted temperature Now you can set the screw rpm. Press the knob to confim.
  • Page 36 User Interface 2 This is the user interface when Felfil Evo is running. The LCD contains all information about the extruding. Current Temperature: indicates the current Set Temperature: temperature in the indicates the temperature chamber. the PID is heading for.
  • Page 37 User Interface 3 When the sceen below appears, it’s because Felfil Evo goes on protection mode. This usually occours when the engine torque is too high, in order to avoid failure for engine and mechanics. Usually this is due to a too low temperature in the melting chamber, or a too high speed of extrusion.
  • Page 38 Please pay attention: - If the nozzle is not correctly tightened, plastic may exit, producing smell. - If you recognise smell of burning plastic, immediately stop extrusion, open Felfil Evo and check that everything is ok. - If the cartridge heater seems to be ruined, please substitute with a brand new one, in order to avoid any potential short-circuit.
  • Page 39 Polymers guide In this section you can find some information about the plastic. When using commercial pellets, rely on the maker’s identification of the type of plastic. When using recycled plastic, check the markings on the item(s) to determine which type of plastic you are using.
