HOTEND
It moves in the X and Y axes by melting the lament of material
and depositing it on the platform or heated bed. It has a nozzle
that heats up to the required temperature according to the
corresponding printing material.
EXTRUDER
Supplies impression material to the head by extruding the
lament. The printer has two extruders to more adequately
drag large lament coils.
PLATFORM OR HEATED BED
The printing happens on the surface of the platform; this one
moves along the Z axis. Depending on the printing material, it
must be heated to a different temperature.
The distance between the platform and the nozzle has to be
perfectly calibrated for optimum printing.

quick guide
Load Filament
The 3D printing of pellets is characterized by being a type of manufacturing dierent from the printing process with lament spools.
• First, introduce the pellets into the hopper manually.
• The pellets will begin to fall through the hopper and will melt inside the extruder.
• The molten material will be ejected from the nozzle and will begin to adhere to the build platform.
Level the Build Plate
• Heat the base to the temperature you want to print at
• Make sure you have a clean tip
• Execute the calibration process found in the Macros “Calibration” section and follow the steps
• Use the knurled nuts on the base to t the Nozzle to the Build Base
• If it was your rst calibration you may have to repeat this process
• During printing, ne-tune using Z Babystepping until proper adhesion is achieved
Load G-Code / Print
• In Jobs select: UPLOAD FILE (S) TO G-CODE and upload your “.gcode” le
• With the left button click on the le you want to print
• With the right button select more options
• You can create folders to organize your les by clicking

Semi-Automatic Leveling
• To perform the semiautomatic calibration, go to Machine Control / Dashboard / Compensation and Calibration / Real Bed
Compensation (G32)
True Bed Compensation (G32)
• Heat the base to the printing temperature that you intend to use
• Adjust the height of the nozzle from the base to the desired height
• Use only the panel shown on the screen
• You can use a gauge or a sheet if you want
Level the Build Plate
• Make sure you have a clean tip
• Execute the calibration process found in the Macros “Calibration” section and follow the steps
• Use the knurled nuts on the base to t the Nozzle to the Build Base
• If it was your rst calibration you may have to repeat this process
• If you already have your base level you can skip this step

• Once the Height Compensation is done in the Height Map you will see something similar to this

head cleaning
260º: Use ABS or materials with a similar melting temperature
range for materials over 260º. Start extruding until no trace
of the previously used material remains. Once this point is
reached, progressively lower the temperature to 250º.
260º: Use polypropylene for materials less than 260º. Start
extruding until no trace of the previously used material remains.
Once at this point, progressively lower the temperature to 210º.
Print Bed Setting
• During printing, ne-tune using Z Babysteping until proper adhesion is achieved
Advanced
• If you want to modify the number of points to be polled, you can make the changes from System / Cong.g
• Go to ; Probe Z and change the P parameter of the following command
M557 X15:215 Y15:195P3:3
• You can also download or edit your heihtmap.csv le to correct any point or to save different height maps created
Load Compression Map
• If you have restarted the printer, you must load the Height Map again, to do this, execute Load Height Compensation Map
saved in the SD card (G29 S1)

Place the printer on a rm
surface without vibration.
Place the printer in a draft-free
environment with an ambient
temperature between 15ºC - 25ºC.
Follow the printer installation
and power-up instructions.
Use materials recommended
by Indart3D to ensure proper
printer operation.
