• Sortir File Format: .gcode

4.2. Processus d'impression

1. Préparer le modèle : Use the Easyware K7 software (or CURA/Simplify3D) to slice your .Stl or .obj 3D model file dans un .gcode file.
2. Transfert File: Enregistrez le fichier .gcode file sur la carte TF.
3. Insérer la carte TF : Ensure the TF card is inserted into the printer's card slot.
4. Mise sous tension : Allumez l'imprimante à l'aide de l'interrupteur d'alimentation.
5. Démarrer l'impression : For K9 models, press the 'One Key Print' button. For K7 models, use the button controls to select and start your print. The printer will automatically begin the printing process.

4.3. Printing Performance

The Easythreed K7/K9 printers offer excellent printing performance with features like mute printing and precise control. They operate at a low noise level, typically below 60 dB, ensuring they won't disturb your work or sleep.

5. Entretien

Un entretien régulier garantit des performances optimales et une longue durée de vie à votre imprimante 3D.

• Nettoyer la buse : Periodically clean the nozzle to prevent clogs and ensure smooth filament extrusion. Use the provided tools or a soft brush.
• Nettoyer la plateforme de compilation : After each print, remove any residual filament from the build platform. A clean platform ensures good adhesion for subsequent prints.
• Vérifier le chemin du filament : Assurez-vous que le chemin du filament, de la bobine à l'extrudeuse, soit dégagé et exempt d'obstructions.
• Lubrifier les pièces mobiles : Occasionally apply a small amount of lubricant to the smooth rods and lead screws to ensure smooth movement of the print head and build platform.
• Mises à jour du micrologiciel : Check the Easythreed official webCe site permet de consulter les mises à jour du micrologiciel disponibles afin d'améliorer les performances de l'imprimante et d'ajouter de nouvelles fonctionnalités.

6. Dépannage

Voici quelques problèmes courants et leurs solutions potentielles :

• Le filament ne s'extrude pas :
  • Check if the nozzle is clogged. Clean it if necessary.
  • Ensure the extruder temperature is set correctly for PLA (180-230℃).
  • Vérifiez que le filament est correctement chargé et non emmêlé.
• Print not sticking to the build platform:
  • Ensure the build platform is clean and free of grease or dust.
  • Check if the build platform is level.
  • Adjust the initial layer height or print speed in your slicing software.
• Poor print quality (e.g., layers not adhering, rough surface):
  • Check filament quality and ensure it's dry.
  • Adjust print speed, layer thickness, or temperature settings in your slicing software.
  • Ensure the printer is on a stable surface to minimize vibrations.
• L'imprimante ne répond pas :
  • Vérifiez toutes les connexions d'alimentation et USB.
  • Redémarrez l'imprimante.
  • Ensure the G-code file on the TF card is not corrupted.
