Precautions:
1. CERAMBOT Bio default power supply is 50/60Hz-220V input, other input
voltages need transformer conversion, equipped with transformer.
2. CERAMBOT Bio needs to be equipped with a stable gas source, with a volume
of at least 8L and a pressure of at least 0.6MPa.
3. CERAMBOT Bio should be placed in a dry and ventilated place to avoid
contamination from moisture and dust.
4. Regular maintenance of CERAMBOT Bio is required to tighten the fixing bolts
on the Y-axis linear guide.

Unpacking contains:
It includes one machine, one power cord, one data cable, one U disk (the format
needs to be FAT32 format), one set of tools, one 6*4mm air pipe, several PVC
gaskets, matching syringes, pistons and needles. (Some equipment supporting 110v to
220v transformer)
The whole machine is as follows:
CERAMBOT Bio printer

CERAMBOT Bio printer front panel parts
The CERAMBOT Bio printer contains four pneumatic controls, corresponding to four
pressure regulating valves, respectively, as shown by the green numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively
controlling the orange numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, where the orange numbers correspond The air outlets
correspond to the first 1, 2, and 3 print nozzles below. The fourth gas path is manually controlled
separately, and the air pressure can be individually controlled manually.
The CERAMBOT Bio printer is divided into three motion axes of XYZ and 123 three print
nozzles. The transmission mode is synchronous belt and screw. The nozzle extrusion method is the
air pressure control under the control of the solenoid valve.
CERMABOT Bio rear panel interface
CERAMBOT Bio supports U disk offline printing and also supports online printing. The
CERAMBOT Bio is inserted behind the U disk, which can be printed offline directly from the USB
flash drive. It can also be printed by computer control using Mini USB and controlled by repetier-
host software.

A. CERAMBOT Bio use steps
1) After importing the gcode print file generated after CURA is sliced into
the USB flash drive, insert it into the USB flash drive slot on the back of
the printer to print from the front control panel.
2) Leveling settings: Leveling work is required before printing. First load
the print head into the barrel holder, select motion, click the home
button of x, y, respectively, and return X and Y to zero. Then, through
the x+, y+ buttons, the amount of movement corresponding to each click
on the left side of the control bar. They are: 0.1mm, 1mm, 10mm,
50mm, and move the working print head to the middle of the printing
platform. Then adjust the Z axis zero point. First make sure the barrel is
fixed. Click the z home button to zero the z-axis. Check to see if the
needle is just touching the print platform. Note: You can adjust the gap
between the needle and the printing platform by rotating the rear of the
printing platform or moving the nozzle up and down. You can click the
z+ or z- button to move 1mm or 10mm each time.

3) Before printing, select change filements in the control panel, click to
extrude the material under orange or green, and adjust the pressure value
of the corresponding gas path, and observe that the material is just
extruded. (The pressure regulator should be pulled up before use to
adjust the air pressure value. Turn clockwise to increase air pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease air pressure). Click on the upper right
corner to switch the needle. You can also choose different extrusion
speeds, low, medium and high.

Nozzle 2
4) Start printing. After ensuring that the platform has been leveled, the
needle is just in contact with the printing platform and the material can
be sent out smoothly from the needle. You can print by selecting print
from the control panel and then selecting the generated slice file
CERAMBOT Bio.gcode.

B. Slice software settings
CERAMBOT Bio supports a variety of slicing software, CURA, slic3r and
simplify3d. Different software has different advantages and disadvantages. Here are
the tutorials for using CURA and simplify3d.
This version is cura 3.6.0 version
Set as shown below:
1. Install the slicing software
Download the software: download the adapter software according to your
operating system：https://ultimaker.com/en/products/ultimaker-cura-software
○
1 Double click on the installation software cura 3.6.0.

4 The installation process will pop up the window where the arduino driver is
installed. Please keep the default installation. Follow the prompts and the
installation is complete.
2. Initial use configuration
Steps：

○
1 Run Cura, click on Settings > Printers > Add Printer > Custom, type
"CERAMBOT Pro & Air" in the printer name, then click "Add Printer", the printer
settings interface will pop up ;

3. Click on the manage material to set up the material as shown below.
Click import, import the file: Bio-0.1-material.xml.fdm_material, and
then select the material parameter Bio-s as shown:

Select Fine-0.1mm in the profile
Modify print parameters as needed, such as print speed, layer height
settings, and more.
Key option description:
1) Layer height: the height of each layer printed, the smaller the
print surface is finer, but the slower it is, the parameter range is
0.5-3, CERAMBOT Pro & Air uses 1.5 nozzles by default.
2) Wall thickness: the thickness printed on the outer surface of the
model. Setting 3 here means that the outer surface will print a layer.
3) Top/Bottom Thickness: Determines the thickness of the bottom/top of
the model.
4) Filling Density: Determines the degree of density of the mesh fill
inside the model, generally set below 15%.
5) Print temperature: Set 0 °C here.

6) Speed: The speed is set to 23mm/s.
7) Platform Attachment Type: Select Skirt here to print an outer circle
on the bottom of the print model.
8) Spiral print outer contour (ie vase mode): only the outer surface
and bottom of the model are printed. When the outer surface is printed,
the spiral is lifted continuously, which can improve the surface
quality, but it has requirements for the model. The model is required
to have only one outer surface. Can't hang. Generally we check
Note: After the mouse stays on the relevant parameter options for a
while, the corresponding setting prompt will pop up automatically.
Configure Cura's parameter slice print settings as shown below, or
import the configuration file directly.
1) Import the configuration file directly:
Select the profile's manage profiles as shown below and import the
configuration file: cerambot.curaprofile
