6.2. Gcode creation

Make sure that the 3d model follows these bonds:
- watertight geometry
- correct placement on the printing bed
- exporting in .stl format

6.3. Slicing software

The slicing software divides the 3D model into many sections, giving the user the ability to set temperature and
print parameters, determining the quality of the printed product and the speed of the process.
The result of slicing is a text file in .gcode format containing all the coordinates of the movements, and the commands
that the printer will execute. Open the slicing software (eg Cura) and load the .ini pro file contained in the sd card
("configurations" folder) already inserted in the printer. Load the .stl le and set the print parameters.
Save the .gcode inside the USB and insert it in the printer or use instead the wifi network.

6.4. Autocalibration

First of all remove the safety clips from the belts. To enable automatic calibration, when the machine is off, manually
move the extruder and bring it into contact with the aluminum plate, at which point the printer can be switched
on. If the automatic calibration sensor is detected successfully, the message "AUTOCALIBRATION ENABLED" will
appear on the display, this will enable the command in the "PRINT" section of the menu.
Before starting the automatic calibration, it is recommended to set the desired floor temperature according to the
material and wait a few minutes for the temperature to be evenly distributed.
Make sure that the printing surface is clean and the aluminum of the floor is clearly visible. there are no obstacles
to contact with the extruder (eg printing surfaces other than aluminum, adhesive tapes, etc.). Also make sure that
there are no printing residues on the extruder nozzle, it is advisable to clean the hot nozzle with a cloth or paper.
At this point it is possible to start the automatic calibration from "PRINT> AUTOCALIBRATION", a warning message
will appear on the display, which will make sure to clean the floor and the extruder, it will start the procedure that will
last a few minutes.

6.5. Loading/removal of the filament

To load the filament, proceed as follows:
From the display select the "LOAD FILAMENT" item and follow the procedure in the display:
- Wait for the extruders to reach temperature.
- Take the reel to load into the printer by removing it from its wrapper.
- Break off the first two centimeters of wire and straighten the first section so as to facilitate loading later.
- Place the reel on the reel support
- Insert the wire inside the wire end sensor and slide it until it reaches the thread take-up hole.
- Confirming on the display and waiting for the extrusion process to finish
