About 3DISON AEP
3DISON AEP is desktop 3D printer based on Fused Filament Fabrication(FFF) method that the object is printed by
three dimension. AEP is characterized by applicable filament and It can be applied not only PLA, ABS but also
engineering plastic like ULTEMTM resin grade 9085 and PC. AEP is the world’s first production grade that has the high
resolution of 25 micron and the high speed of 1000mm/sec. (PLA)
※FFF Method : This method works by laying down consecutive layers of material at high temperatures allowing the adjacent
layers to cool and bond together before the next layer is deposited.

Leveling the Printing Bed
How to use 3DISON AEP
1 2 3 4

※ We recommend using Auto-Leveling after Standard-Leveling has been completed.
※ Despite of using Auto-Leveling function, if the gradient of the printing bed is too steep because no
zero point leveling has been done, Z axis will operate too much and may lower the quality of the output.
※ If there happens to be a some distance between the nozzles and the bed, adjusting is required
before printing. Make sure to turn the two knobs at the same time with both hands.
Put a sheet of A4 paper onto
the printing bed before manual
leveling.
In Creator K, put the check mark
in the Auto-Leveling item when
generating G-Code. Auto-
Leveling function automatically
works during the printing.
Select Utilities > Standard
Leveling on the display menu.
When pressing the OK button,
the extruder will move to the
front, back, left, right and center.
Select Utilities > Auto Leveling
setting. When you put an A4
sized paper on the Bed-Plate
and press right key, the extruder
will be place at the center. Use
Up/Down Key to make appropria
te distance between the nozzle
and the paper. Press OK Button
after the Auto Leveling setting.
When the nozzle lands on each
position of the front, back, left
and right, adjust the 4 round nuts
to the right height in the same
way. If you feel the paper is
slightly scratchy, it is fine. Press
OK button to finish the leveling.

Maintenance
※ Cleaning Nozzle
If Hot-End got stained with filament remains or foreign object, it will affect the quality of
printing. Please remove filament remains or foreign object on the nozzle using wire brush
& tweezer. Be careful not to scrub too much to prevent abrasion of the nozzle.
(Gloves are essential for safety, caution for burn)
※ Jamming Extruder
Pre-Heating the extruder with higher temperature than required temperature of the
material. (Around 10 degree higher)
Please push 1.8mm Pin(Provided tool) into the jammed extruder from the entrance of
filament loading whole. (Caution: Filament will be hot due to Pre-Heat)
※ Managing for Dual Hot-End Difference of Nozzle Level
Dual Hot-End can be adjusted for height through bolts on both sides of the etruder.
(Using Hex key wrench)
UP: Tighten a bolt / Down: Loosen a bolt.
Caution: If you loosen a bolt too much, the mount bar of extruder will be vibrated.
※ Keeping Filaments
It may differ slightly depending on the filaments but, filament quality can be affected by
moisture. Please keep the filament in an Air-Tight container.

※ Please put on gloves always because of the high temperature of Hot-End & Heat-Bed.
※ Please readjust temperature before printing other materials. Otherwise temperature setting would be remained same as before.
※ Always turn off a top Heat-Bed when printing materials other than ULTEMTM resin grade 9085.
※ Seal unused filaments and store in low humidity place.
※ If printed object made of ULTEMTM resin grade 9085 is too complicated or small, it is recommended to control temperature and speed.

What if the filament is not properly discharged?
- There are a few causes to prevent filaments from coming out well. One of the most common causes is when is clogged. When this
happens, set the extruder temperature higher than 240℃ at [Utilities] > [Preheat Setting], and use [Preheat] function of display menu
to melt the filaments accumulated inside the nozzle, whereby the nozzle can be unclogged. (reduce the extruder temperature again
after use) If the method mentioned above fails to solve the problem, use a hex wrench to unscrew the two bolts positioned at an upper
surface of the extruder and the two bolts positioned at a lower surface of the extruder, separate the two parts and check if filament
scraps clog the nozzle hole. Next, unclog the nozzle hole using a long unfolded clip or a smallest hex wrench provided at the time of
purchase while the extruder is under a preheated state. (do the separation work while the power is turned off after preheat. Malfunction
may occur if fan separation work is performed while the extruder is under the preheat state)
- Malfunction may also occur when the gear extruding the filament is not properly operated. If malfunction occurs, dismantle the
extruder, and remove the wastes accumulated on the gear using a brush such as tooth brush, then the problem can be solved.
- It is also important to set the extruder temperature according to material. If the extruder temperature is too high or too low, the material
may hold together, or may not be properly solved to prevent a smooth output. Be sure to check the proper temperature according to
the used material.
What if the printed object is generated with shrinkage?
- It is important to control an ambient temperature of printed object under FFF method in which filaments are melted and stacked
at a high temperature and stacked. When an ambient temperature of printed material is low, shrinkage might happen, and it may
also occur if no heat exceeding a predetermined temperature is applied to the output board depending on used material. In order to
prevent shrinkage, the temperature inside the printer must be maintained at a predetermined level or the temperature of printing bed
must be adjusted according to used material.
※ Temperature inside the printer may change depending on the season and surrounding environments.
