D. Getting started: Filament Loading and Leveling the Printing D2. Filament Loading and Unloading When loading 1. Go to the LCD panel and select Utilities > Filament Loading. Select Load Right or Load Left depending on which side you want to load the filament. Then the extruder will start preheating. 2.
D. Getting started: Filament Loading and Leveling the Printing D1. Filament Loading and Unloading When Unloading 1. To remove the filament from the extruder, select Utilities>Filament Loading and select Unload Right or Unload Left depending on which side you want to remove the filament. 2. When the extruder is completely heated with an alarm, locate the extruder to the middle.

D. Getting started: Leveling the Build Plate and Filament Loading D1. Leveling the Printing Bed Leveling before 3D printing is so crucial that it can influence the quality of the print-out. If the printing bed is too far from the extruder’ s nozzles, or if one part of the bed is farther away from the nozzles than another part, your 3D prints might not stick to the bed.
D. Getting started: Leveling the Printing Bed and Filament Loading D2. Leveling the Printing Bed When using Auto-Leveling 1. Place the A4 size paper first before using Auto-leveling functions. Select Utilities > Auto- Leveling in the display menu. NOTE: The thickness of A4 size paper is about 0.1mm and this paper is used in leveling the bed to keep 0.1mm space between the nozzle and the printing bed.
E. Making a print with CreatorK 8 E1. CreatorK 8 Overview Rokit Inc. has developed CreatorK 8 to help its users to easily convert STL and OBJ files into G Code, X3G (Firmware ver. 8.1) format that can be 3D printed with this 3D printer.

E. Making a print with CreatorK 8 E2. How to use CreatorK 8 Printing with Dual nozzle system 1. Prepare two STL or OBJ files which compose a single object. Click G-code bar on the top of the window. Click Merge.stl for Dual Extrusion to merge into one g-code file.
F. Troubleshooting and Maintenance F1. Troubleshooting (FAQ) Hardware Q. What if the filament is not properly discharged? There are many causes to prevent filaments from coming out well. One of the most common causes is when is clogged. When this happens, set the extruder temperature higher than 240℃ at [Utilities] > [Preheat Setting], and use [Preheat] function of display menu to melt the filaments accumulated inside the nozzle, whereby the nozzle can be unclogged.

F. Troubleshooting and Maintenance F1. Troubleshooting (FAQ) Hardware Q. What if the printed object is generated with shrinkage? It is important to control an ambient temperature of printed object under FFF method in which filaments are melted and stacked at a high temperature and stacked. When an ambient tem- perature of printed material is low, shrinkage might happen, and it may also occur if no heat exceed- ing a predetermined temperature is applied to the output board depending on used material.
