  • Page 39 temperature between 20 ~ 25°C. When using PEEK and ULTEM™, pre-warm them sufficiently in the oven to ensure no bubble during loading tests and a smooth surface in the finished product. [Cautions while printing with ULTEM™ 1010] ULTEM™ 1010 prints have strong adhesion to the glass bed, so if the bed or chamber temperature drop sharply during printing, the print will be deformed and the equipment will be less durable.
  • Page 40 Raise the nozzle temperature to the filament loading temperature and clean the inside of the nozzle with the provided 1.8 cleaning pin. Clean the outside of the nozzle with the cutting scissors and tweezers. Set the nozzle temperature to (a theoretical) 0°C, which drives the extruder to room temperature.
  • Page 41 plate leveling by loosening a little at a time. Make sure the Autoleveling sensor is securely attached to the extruder. Check that the bolts on the bed are fixed with even torque. Make sure that all coins - 9 in the middle and 4 at the corner - are in normal positions on the glass plate.
  • Page 42 become weak. In the NewCreatorK setting, set the brimline to be larger than the default setting of 20 so that the initial 10 lines can be used to check the line spacing. If the lines do not stick together after adjusting the Thermal Offset, reduce the width of the first layer line in 2-5% increments in the slicer settings.
  • Page 43 the print is optimized 2.8 If any change in bed temperature and Size of output, the Thermal Offset setting may require adjustments. [When the extruder has been replaced] Connect to the device by clicking the Connect button in NewCreatorK. Raise the temperature of the extruder to a temperature suitable for the filament material and clean the nozzle surface.
  • Page 44 Be sure to ventilate during long time printing or after finishing printing. Remove printouts using the provided scraper to prevent overstress when the bed temperature drops below 50 ° C. 10.
