System Pre-Heating - Filament Innovations BFP-ICARUS Series Operating Manual

System Pre-Heating

In order to preheat the entire system, we need to set the desired
temperature for the hotend and heated bed individually. The hotend should be
preheated to the desired printing temperature for the filament you are using. You
only need to turn the heated bed on if you want to perform a full Mesh Bed
Leveling Compensation or want to pre-heat the system for printing. Please take
note that if you are switching between different temperature ranges (i.e. PLA at
200C versus PETG at 250C) then it is suggested to load the filament at a
temperature between the two, such as 225C-230C, this will soften the PETG
enough for getting it out of the hotend and the PLA will not be burned when you
load it.
The following pictures will guide you in pre-heating the heated bed. The
process to pre-heat the bed is the same as the hotend. You will see all the
required buttons highlighted in a green box.
Step One – Press the temperature button for the Heated Bed.
Step Two – Us the + and – buttons to select the desired temperature and
then press the Set button.
