Frequently Asked Questions - Astra 2 Orbbec
How do I level the bed on the Orbbec Astra 2?
To level the bed, use the Auto Bed Leveling feature in the menu. Ensure the nozzle is clean and the bed is clear. The printer will probe multiple points and adjust automatically. Manually adjust the bed screws if needed after auto-leveling.
How do I change the filament?
Preheat the nozzle to the filament's recommended temperature (e.g., 200°C for PLA). Use the Change Filament option in the menu. Gently pull out the old filament and insert the new one until you see it extruding from the nozzle.
What software should I use to slice models?
The recommended software is Orbbec Slicer, which is pre-configured for the Astra 2. You can also use Cura or Simplify3D with custom profiles. Import your STL file, set parameters, and export to SD card.
How do I clean a clogged nozzle?
Heat the nozzle to 220°C. Use the provided nozzle cleaning needle to gently push through the nozzle. Alternatively, perform a cold pull by inserting nylon filament, letting it cool, then pulling it out to remove debris.
Why is my print not sticking to the bed?
First, ensure the bed is level and clean. Apply a thin layer of glue stick or use a PEI sheet. Check the initial layer height and nozzle temperature. Increase bed temperature by 5-10°C if needed.
How do I update the firmware?
Download the latest firmware from the Orbbec support website. Copy the .bin file to an SD card, insert it into the printer, and go to Settings > Firmware Update. Do not turn off the printer during update.
What types of filament can I use?
The Astra 2 supports PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU. Use a 1.75 mm diameter filament. For flexible filaments like TPU, use slower print speeds and direct drive extruder settings.
How do I store filament to prevent moisture?
Store filament in a dry box with desiccant packs. Vacuum seal bags are ideal. For nylon or PETG, consider a filament dryer before use. Keep away from humidity and direct sunlight.
What should I do if the printer stops mid-print?
Check for power loss or SD card errors. The printer has a power recovery feature: it will resume after power interruption. If resume fails, try re-slicing the file and reprinting from the beginning.
