- Déballage: Retirez soigneusement tous les composants de l'emballage.
- Fixer le portique : Secure the pre-assembled gantry to the base unit using the provided screws. The integrated cabling simplifies this connection.
- Installer le porte-filament : Mount the adjustable filament holder to the designated slot on the side of the printer.
- Connecter l'alimentation : Branchez le câble d'alimentation à l'imprimante, puis à une prise électrique mise à la terre.
- Mise sous tension : Flip the power switch located at the rear of the base unit.
- Nivellement du lit : Perform manual bed leveling as instructed on the printer's display or in the detailed guide on the included SD card. Proper bed leveling is crucial for successful prints.
6. Mode d'emploi
Operating the Artillery Hornet is intuitive, thanks to its one-key knob integrated switch and efficient design.
6.1. Chargement des filaments
- Place your filament spool onto the adjustable filament holder.
- Feed the filament through the filament sensor and into the Titan Extruder.
- Heat the hotend to the appropriate temperature for your filament type (e.g., 200°C for PLA).
- Use the one-key knob to select the 'Load Filament' option. The extruder will automatically pull the filament through the hotend until it extrudes smoothly.
6.2. Démarrer une impression
- Prepare your 3D model using a slicing software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer) and save it as a G-code file à la carte SD.
- Insérez la carte SD dans le logement pour carte SD de l'imprimante.
- Navigate the menu using the one-key knob to 'Print from SD' and select your desired G-code file.
- The printer will automatically heat up the bed and hotend, then begin printing. The self-developed 32-bit motherboard ensures ultra-silent operation during printing.

7. Entretien
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Artillery Hornet 3D Printer.
- Nettoyer le plateau d'impression : After each print, clean the print bed with isopropyl alcohol to ensure good adhesion for future prints.
- Nettoyage des buses : Periodically clean the nozzle to prevent clogs. Use a brass brush or needle to clear any residue.
- Lubrifier la tige de l'axe Z : Apply a small amount of lithium grease or similar lubricant to the Z-axis lead screw every few months to ensure smooth vertical movement.
- Vérifier les courroies : Inspect the X and Y axis belts for proper tension and wear. Adjust if too loose or replace if damaged.
- Nettoyage du ventilateur : Ensure cooling fans (for hotend, part cooling, and power supply) are free from dust and debris to prevent overheating.
8. Dépannage
Voici quelques problèmes courants et leurs solutions potentielles :
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Le filament ne s'alimente pas. | Nozzle clog, tangled filament, incorrect loading. | Clear nozzle, untangle filament, re-load filament carefully ensuring it enters the Bowden tube correctly. |
| Poor print adhesion / Prints lifting | Unleveled bed, dirty print surface, incorrect bed temperature. | Re-level the print bed, clean the print surface with isopropyl alcohol, adjust bed temperature in slicing software. |
| Layering problems / Poor print quality | Loose belts, Z-axis wobble, incorrect print settings. | Check and tighten X/Y belts, ensure Z-coupler is secure, adjust print speed and temperature settings. |
| L'imprimante est bruyante. | Loose components, worn bearings. | Check all screws and connections. The 32-bit motherboard is designed for silent operation, but external factors can cause noise. |
| Problèmes de surchauffe | Blocked cooling fans. | Ensure all cooling fans are clear of obstructions and functioning correctly. |
