6.2. Gcode creation

Make sure that the 3d model follows these bonds:

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

7.2.8. Print bed cleaning

The bed is cleaned with the machine switched off. It is necessary in cases of:

• Flatness compromised
• Dirt that prevents adhesion during printing
• Aesthetic necessity

To carry out this operation it is necessary to remove the top by unscrewing the three screws. Once removed, clean with water and detergents as needed. It is not recommended to use metal parts that could damage the surface and abrasive machines that could compromise the flatness.

7.3. Extraordinary maintenance

ATTENTION:

Extraordinary maintenance operations must be carried out by the Manufacturer's Technicians or by maintenance personnel who have been instructed and authorized by the Manufacturer.

Any of these operations not carried out by a manufacturer's technician can cause irreversible damage to the machine or its parts and therefore renders the warranty null and void.

Extraordinary maintenance interventions are those that are carried out:

• On the occasion of exceptional events, such as revisions;
• Stopping due to breakage of mechanical or fluid parts;

The cartridge change is a mechanical operation that allows you to change the cartridge with another in the same extruder. Thanks to the change of the cartridge it is possible to characterize the extruder with nozzles of different diameters and rods for high temperatures. You can also choose to use the cartridge for a single type of processing.

The change of the cartridge is carried out in the cases of:

• Clogged extruder
• Cartridge breakage
  • Thorough cleaning of the extruder

REMOVE THE CARTRIDGE FROM THE SPITFIRE EXTRUDER

With the correct extruder connected turn on the machine

• Bring the extruder to the minimum print temperature of the loaded material (eg PLA 180 - ABS 220 °C) and wait a few seconds
• Remove the filament from the extruder and separate the extruder from the thread take-up detaching the Teflon tube
• Loosen the two low front screws on the right with a 2.5 mm Allen wrench without detaching them (fig 7.3.1.a-b)
  • Using a small flat-headed screwdriver, pry into the slot to the right of the heating block (fig 7.3.1 c)
• Insert a 2 mm Allen wrench inside the cartridge to be removed and turn it gently clockwise while lifting the cartridge.

7.3.2 Manual leveling

Manual leveling is a command that allows you to adjust the planarity of the plane.

Based on the three-point principle, the machine moves the tool to the vertices of an equilateral triangle proportional to the plane.

At each point, by rotating a screw, the distance between the tool and the plane is adjusted.

Use a sheet of paper as thickness between the bed and the nozzle.

Once completed, verify that the height in the center of the plane is correct.

Manual leveling is a mechanical adjustment and therefore is different from making an automatic calibration.

7.3.3. Cartridge cleaning

Cleaning the cartridge is a fundamental maintenance operation on the extruder.

It must be carried out in the cases of:

• Clogged extruder
  • Change of type of material
  • Uncertain extrusion
• General maintenance

The operation can be carried out in 4 ways:

• Cartridge inserted in the extruder mounted on the machine
• Cartridge inserted in the extruder removed from the machine
• Cartridge disassembled from the extruder
• Cartridge disassembled from the extruder and disassembled in its parts

Cartridge cleaning is always done by certified technicians with the cartridge in temperature to make the plastic inside softer and easier to clean.

1. Heat the cartridge with a heat gun sufficiently (fig 7.3.4 a)
2. Remove the cartridge between the nozzle and the barrel from the appropriate key grips (fig 7.3.4 b)
3. Penetrate the entire inside of the barrel with the supplied brass bar (fig 7.3.4 c)
4. Push the nozzle back from the wide cavity in order to expel the dirt (fig 7.3.4 d

8 USE OF THE PRINTER

8.1. Adhesion to the bed

The adhesion to the plate takes place during the deposition of the first layer and is essential for the success of the printing.

The fundamental points of a good adhesion are:

• Correct leveling of the printing bed
  • Adhesive glue (chosen based on material)
• Correct speed and flow in the first layer
• Adequate printing floor temperature (PLA 40 °C, ABS 100 °C)

If the spillage of the material is particularly scarce or even absent, check

• The extruder is not clogged with a manual extrusion
• The extruder does not print too close to the plane (preventing extrusion during the print)
• The extruder temperature is actually the one needed for the material in use

It is recommended to make sure that the adhesion between first layer and bed.

8.2. Autocalibration

Autocalibration is a command that automatically calibrates the height and leveling parameters of the floor. Autocalibration works with extruders: Spitfire, Zen and Flex.

To enable it is necessary that

• When the machine is turned on, the extruder nozzle is in contact with the printing surface.
• The nozzle and the contact points on the table are well cleaned.

It is advisable to bring the piano to the printing temperature before launching the "AUTOCALIBRATION" command, the command is located in the PRINT menu (fig 8.2)

Once launched, the control brings the nozzle to temperature and begins a procedure that lasts a few minutes.

8.3. Load filament

To load the filament proceed as follows:

1. Place the spool on its support. In the case of a single extruder use the left support.
2. Lead the filament inside the machine making sure to pass it through the end-filament sensor.
3. From the "PRINT" menu and select "Load filament".
4. Insert the filament in the entry hole of the thread take-up (fig. 8.4 b) by slightly opening the clamp
5. Confirm on the screen that the operation has been performed
6. The extruder will load the filament until it is extruded

To load the filament manually instead proceed as follows:

1. Place the spool on its support, in the case of a single extruder use the support on the left.
2. Lead the filament inside the machine making sure to pass it through the end-filament sensor.
3. Set the nozzle temperature to the printing temperature
4. Insert the filament in the entry hole of the driver by slightly opening the clamp and making sure that it has correctly entered the sheath
5. Rotate the pawl on the driver until you see the extruded material

8.4. Load .gcode with SD card

1. Correctly save the file in .gcode format on the SD Card.
2. Safely remove the pendrive from the computer and insert it into the front SD port of the machine
3. Select "SD Card menu" in the machine display
4. Search for the name of your file and select it for printing

8.5. Manual extrusion

Manual extrusion is an operation that is carried out when the machine is stopped, to verify that the plastic outlet is homogeneous.

To do this it is necessary to take the nozzle to the print temperature of the plastic you are working with.

The procedure is this:

1. Set the extruder temperature with Advanced menu
2. Wait until it reaches the temperature
3. Go to Prepare>Move axis>1mm>Extruder
4. Rotate the control to extrude or retract

It is also possible to induce the extrusion by hand by turning the pawl on the driver (if it is blocked then it is necessary to disable the motors)

8.6. Free zeta system

The Free Zeta system is a useful command to resume interrupted prints and for any reason it was not possible to recover with the Resurrection system.

It is based on the principle of restarting to print a chosen gcode from a certain height onwards, so that the first layer of the new print adheres to the last printed layer.

Some cases it can serve are when:

• The Resurrection automatic save was not successful
• The material is finished but the machine has continued to print
• The nozzle stopped during printing but the machine has continued to print

The cases in which it is not possible to recover the print are when:

• The piece has come off the printing floor
  • The piece split during the press
• The deformation of the piece is such that it is not possible to recover the print

To run the Free Zeta system correctly.

1. Remove any debris on the last layers until the last clean print layer is obtained
2. Bring the machine bed into temperature
3. With "Move axis" command measure the Z value on the last printed layer
4. Select the "Free Zeta system" command from the menu
5. Insert the measured Z value
6. Select the gcode to be recovered and launch the print.

8.7. Modify height

The height of the printer is the distance (in mm) set between the tip of the nozzle and the printing plane. It is a fundamental requirement for calibration.

It is necessary in the case of:

• Change of extruder
• Cartridge change
• Replacement of print bed

NOTE:

If the height set is lower than this measure, the tool will work higher than necessary (preventing the material from attaching properly to the floor).

If the set height is higher than required, the tool will work at a level below the printing plane (with consequent damage to the plane and tool).

8.8. Resurrection system

The Resurrection system is a command for the automatic recovery of the print jobs interrupted by a sudden switch-off during processing.

The system is designed in particular for:

• Blackouts and sudden power failures during printing
  • Accidental removal of the power cord during printing

In addition, it should be considered that in the time span between turning off the machine and launching the "Resurrection" command, the printed piece is cooled which in some cases may cause problems in recovering the print.

8.9. Removal of the print

To perform a removal of the piece from the printing plate, it is required:

• Whether the printer is stopped, turned on or off is not important
  • That the extruder has cooled down for safety

What can help in removing the piece is:

• Make use of appropriate tools such as the spatula
- Wait until the table temperature has dropped
