Printing process of current layer and total layers. www.longer3d.com info@longer3d.com... - Page 12 Real-time temperature of LED PCB. Real-time status, such as printing, pausing, paused. Pause the printing job. The status will change to pausing when start to pause, and change to paused after the current layer is printed over. The progress will be paused after exposure and the end of the Z axis movement when paused during exposure.
- Page 13 If the printing file’s name contains unsupported characters file corrupted, it shows a tip as shown in the left picture, then touch anywhere on the screen to back to file list. It will detect the temperature of LED before printing, and it will show a tip as shown in the left picture if it is abnormal, then it needs to check the printer’s wiring or cooling fan.

support position Shaft Diameter: the diameter of support column, the larger value, the stronger support, but more difficult to remove. The suggested value is about 1.1. Lift Distance: the distance between the model and building platform is lifted by generating support. The suggested value is between 0 to 3mm. - Page 28 ② ① ③ ④ Advanced Setting: set the layer number of base plate to strong the adhesion between model and building platform, the height of base is about 0.3mm, so the layer number is set to when the layer thickness is 50μm;...

model or there are many support points on the building platform. Slice: slice the model with the setting layer thickness, “sliced” will show when it is completed otherwise is shown “not slice”. And there is a prompt of “slicing the scene” in the upper right corner of the software when slice the model. - Page 30 8000 to 12000ms, for the model with fine size. Burn-in time: the exposure time for the bottom layers. The longer the exposure time, the greater the adhesion between the model and building platform. The default time is 80000ms. Stable Time: the time between stop motion of Z axis and LCD projection.
- Page 31 Lift Speed1: the separation speed for slow motion range. The default speed is 48mm/min. It can decrease the separation force by adjusting the value to 30mm/min for the model with fine size. Lift Distance2: the fast motion distance for separation, and it is a relative distance to Lift Diantance1.
