Page 12: Preparation For Printing
Preparation for printing Level the Buildplate IMPORTANT! At this stage, ONLY perform bed leveling as the printer is already factory calibrated. During this routine, the printer measures the build plate’s top surface to compensate for any irregularities, ensuring an optimal first layer. - Page 13 9.2 Clean the buildplate IMPORTANT: Detach the flexplate from the printer bed before cleaning the surface Foto buildplate met Foto loshalen flexplate flexplate The first layer is vital as it sets the foundation for the entire print. Follow these steps for a successful first layer: Remove any leftover filament from the print bed using a spatula or tweezers, being cautious not to damage the Kapton sticker.

Page 23: Printer Calibration
12 Printer calibration The first layer of a print is vital as it sets the foundation for the entire print. To ensure optimal operation and reduce chances of failure there are automated calibrations in place. The calibration process relies on several key printer features: •... - Page 24 12.2 Bed leveling calibration To make sure the distance between the bed and the nozzles is consistent across the entire build plate, you need to perform a bed leveling sequence. When to do this calibration? • When changing to a new bed. •...
- Page 25 Once you’ve completed the bed leveling sequence, it’s important to check if the calibration was successful. The most effective way to test if the bed is level is to print “bed leveling squares,” allowing you to examine the first layer closely. It's too far, bring it closer.
- Page 26 12.3 Potential errors The printer uses a probe sensor in the extruder to detect the build plate. While doing this, the probe of the left or right hot-end is monitored. If one of the two cause an issue, you might see an error message saying "bed leveling failed" or "G33 leveling failed." If this happens, first ensure the machine homes all its axes.

- Page 28 12.6 Z-Calibration Z calibration includes using probes on both heads to determine the level of both extruders. This is really important to prevent crashes and ensure successful dual or multi-material printing. To begin this process, follow the instructions provided below. After this the machine will heat up and begin probing the heads and comparing the results.

13 Tips and Tricks 13.1 Flexible filaments (TPU) Flexible filaments when handled with care will print well. Depending on the amount of flexibility and elasticity, you might need to take some extra precautions to print it without trouble. Precautions Ensure you use the correct slicing profiles for flexible filaments from our supported software. Ensure the extruders are cleared from non-flexible filaments. -

14 Maintanence The printer features a comprehensive and intricate motion system, which requires regular maintenance and care to ensure opti- mal performance. 14.1 Hot-end Maintanence For cleaning or maintenance purposes, the hot-end can be easily removed from the FELIX Pro L/XL. Please take the following steps. - Page 31 14.2 Removing the Hot-end Gently detach the edge connector from the corresponding print head. Avoid tugging on the wires; instead, grasp and remove the plug itself. Additionally, take note of the small hook located on the fan duct designed to guide the cables. Be aware that this hook is stationary, and the cables must be released before proceeding to remove the hotend.
- Page 32 14.3 Replace dust cleaners Filament tends to accumulate a significant amount of dust and tiny particles. Ensure that the filament is guided into the filament holder using the dust cleaner. It is advisable to replace the dust cleaners after a few months of continuous printing. 14.4 Motion System The linear bearings require minimal maintenance.
