3.1.8 After the model is printed, the following interface will pop up, and
click “OK” to complete the printing.
3.1.9 Click the “Move” menu to enter the movement and temperature
interface. The left is for the temperature setting and the
electromechanical control of the extruder, and the right for three-axis
movement control. Press the button of X/Y/Z movement, the GP3D Root
Plus will move to the corresponding direction. Click “Home” and each
moving part of the GP3D Root Plus will go back to the original location.
3.1.10 Click “Target” for temperature setting, a numeric keypad pops up,
and you can further set the temperature of the extruder and the platform.
The setting range of the platform’s temperature is 0-100 °C and that of
the extruder is 190-280 °C. For PLA material, the platform temperature
can remain unset, and the extruder temperature can be set at 220-230 °C;
for ABS material, the platform temperature can be set at 80-100 °C
according to the size of the model, and the extruder temperature can be
set at 230-240 °C.
Notice: do not frantically click the touch screen!
3.1.11 If the temperature is not set at this moment, the default
temperature of printing from USB flash disk is that set by GCODE, and if
the temperature is set, the printing will proceed at the set temperature.
This setting is only effective at this time, and if the parameter is used next
time, it needs to be reset. The interface after temperature setting is shown
as follows.
3.1.12 After the extruder temperature rises to the set value, click
“Forward”, and insert the prepared filament into the extruder’s feed port
till the extruder catch the filament. After a few seconds, you can see fine
filament out of the nozzle. Click “Stop”, and the extruder stops. At this
moment, the interface is as shown in the following figure.
3.1.13 If the printing is suspended for a long time, to avoid clogging next
time, take out the filament inside the extruder. After the extruder
temperature rises to the set value, click “Reverse”. After the filament
returns completely, take it out, and click “Stop”.
Notice: only after the extruder temperature rises to the set value, the
feeding and returning of the filament can be carried out, or else it is likely
to cause extruder clogging.
3.1.14 In the interface “Advanced”, “Units of Temperature” is the option of
temperature unit. The default unit is “°C”, and you can also select “°F”.
3.1.15 “Building Plate Auto Calibration” is the automatic detection of the
platform. Press “Z+” in the interface “Move”, and raise the platform to
about 1mm from the nozzle.
