*Its very important to see to that, the Power socket that the Firepen 3D printer connects to, can source
atleast upto 15A current and 220V AC supply. Also, see to that, this power socket isn’t sharing with other
electrical appliances. Under supply of current can cause malfunction of the Firepen 3D printer unit.

C.FIRST USE
1. Installing Spool Holder and Mounting the Filament Spool:- Take out the spool
holder from the accessory box, Attach the spool holder at the back side of the
machine.

2.Preheating the Extruder
Go to the Touch screen panel and select Preheat > Add.
Add the extruder to 200℃. Wait for the extruder to heat to the set temperature.
Please press Add or Dec button to heat the extruder before start printing, or the
extruder won’t be heated.
( Nozzle 1 - 200/200 shows the current temperature and the set temperature of
nozzles. Press E1 button, the display will show for the temperature of heated bed.
Press 1 ℃button to choose the increase rate 1℃/5℃/10℃of heat temperature for
each press.)
3. Loading Filament:-
After the extruder reaches 200° C, press the knob on Filament Out Device to the
left, Take and straighten the end of the filament, insert it through the device into the
extruder. The machine will alarm all the time if the knob is not pressed to the left
while inserting the filament, in such a scenario, please load filament again.
Push down on the Extruder Arm, Continue to hold it down as you insert the free
end of the filament into the hole in the top of the extruder. Push the filament in as
far as it will go. You will see plastic start to emerge from the extruder nozzle.
Release the extruder arm.

principle：rotate the below four nuts, the spring shrink or spread, and further control the
platform down or up.
method：move the extruder to anywhere on the platform, make sure the nozzle is close to the
platform, move normal and do not scratch the masking paper(the preminum distance
is 0.1-0.2mm)

D.MAKING AN OBJECT WITH 3D printer
1.Making a Test Object from the SD Card
The Firepen 3D printer package includes an SD card pre-loaded with a file for
making a test object.
The SD Card is located in the accessory box. Insert the SD card into the SD
card slot. Go to the Touch screen panel and select Print and choose
“whistle.g” to start printing.
Tips: Stl is a widely used file format for 3D models. (Others: obj，amf，dae)
Thingiverse is a website where 3D printer users can share design files and
download it for free.
For printing it is very important that the first layer is nicely squished into the build
plate and sticks well to it.
1. If the distance between the nozzle and build plate is too big, your print won’t
stick properly to the glass plate.
Please loose the knobs [turn them to the left] moves the build plate closer to the
extruder nozzle
2. If the nozzle is too close to the build plate it can prevent the filament
from extruding from the nozzle. This can also scratch the build plate.
Please tighten the knobs [turn them to the right] moves the build plate away from
the extruder nozzle.
3. The 3rd image below, shows the Perfect first layer, with correct setting of the
extruder nozzle distance from the build plate.

3. Tutorial of parameter setting
1. The layer height of general settings for the 0.1,0.2,0.3mm.if 0.3 mm, the model has
obvious sense of hierarchy, but it can reduce the time of printing;0.2mm,it is usually
be used; the fine print is set to 0.1mm, the printing surface is smooth, the print time
will be longer
2. The shell thickness is set to a multiple of 0.4mm, such as 0.8, 1.2, 1.6., and so on.
3. Enable retraction, it can avoid printing residue silk filament, the detail is in advanced
settings.
4. For the general model. The bottom / top thickness is set to 1mm. If you print a
thinner object, the upper surface has an unfilled surface. This value can be increased
appropriately.
5. The fill density is generally set to 5%--20%, and smaller objects or single wall models
can be set to 100% fill, and larger seal models can also be set to 0 fill.
6. Print speed is set to 30mm/s--80mm/s range
7. The print temperature is only the nozzle temperature of the extruder, the PLA print is
set to 200-210 centigrade, and the ABS is set to 240 centigrade.
8. The heating bed temperature for PLA is usually set to 45-50 centigrade, and ABS need
more then 80 .
9. Support is divided into: no support for the None, Touching buildplate, everywhere,
full support for Everywhere. Print model has vacated part or larger slope need to
open the support function, Touching buildplate refers to the generation of support
between the platform and the supporting model. everywhere refers to in addition to
support generation between the platform and the model can also generate support in
the inner of the hang model, the specific choice depends on the display of model.
10.The platform adhesion type is generally selected as None, the contact surface
between print model and platform is smaller, and when the printing model height is
higher, the adhesion can be opened, and the attachment type is divided into two
kinds, brim and raft ,and the specific difference reference software is introduced.
11.filament diameter defaults to 1.75mm
12. flow default 100%, if diameter less than 1.75mm and lead to print model surface
filling unevenly, can increase this value appropriately, but seldom happened.
