4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Accensione/spegnimento

To power on the printer, ensure all connections are secure and plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Use the power switch located on the side of the machine to turn it on or off.

4.2 Caricamento del filamento

Place the filament spool onto the filament hanging holder. Gently feed the filament through the filament detection sensor and into the extruder. Heat the nozzle to the appropriate temperature for your filament type (e.g., 200-220°C for PLA) and push the filament until it extrudes smoothly from the nozzle.

4.3 Avvio di una stampa

Prepare your 3D model using a slicing software (e.g., Cura) and save it to a TF card. Insert the TF card into the printer's card slot. Navigate the printer's menu to select your desired file and initiate the print. Ensure the print bed is properly leveled before starting.

4.4 Monitoring and Pausing Prints

Monitor the printing process to ensure proper adhesion and layer deposition. If necessary, you can pause the print via the printer's control panel. This is useful for filament changes or inspecting the print progress.

5. Manutenzione

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and consistent performance of your SUNLU S8 Plus 3D Printer.

• Pulisci il piano di stampa: After each print, allow the print bed to cool and carefully remove the printed object. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue and ensure good adhesion for future prints.
• Pulizia degli ugelli: Periodically check the nozzle for clogs. You can use a thin needle or a cold pull method to clear any obstructions.
• Lubrificare le parti mobili: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the Z-axis lead screws and smooth rods every few months to ensure smooth movement.
• Controllare cinghie e pulegge: Ensure that the X and Y axis belts are properly tensioned and that the pulleys are free of debris.
• Aggiornamenti del firmware: Check the official SUNLU website for any available firmware updates to improve printer functionality and performance.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more detailed troubleshooting or persistent problems, please contact customer support.

6.1 Problemi di stampa comuni

• Scarsa adesione al letto:
  • Ensure the print bed is clean and free of grease or dust.
  • Verify proper bed leveling. The nozzle should be at an optimal distance from the bed (e.g., paper thickness).
  • Adjust bed temperature and first layer print speed in your slicing software.
• Filamento non estruso:
  • Check if the nozzle is clogged. Perform a cold pull or use a cleaning needle.
  • Assicurarsi che il filamento sia caricato correttamente e non sia aggrovigliato.
  • Verify the extruder gear is gripping the filament and not slipping.
• Spostamento di livello:
  • Controllare la tensione delle cinghie degli assi X e Y. Devono essere tese ma non eccessivamente.
  • Assicurarsi che la stampante sia posizionata su una superficie stabile per evitare vibrazioni.
  • Ridurre la velocità di stampa, soprattutto per geometrie complesse.
