6. Operation
1. Insert the power plug from the adapter into the power input [8].
Connect the adapter to the mains. The orange power LED [2a]
will light.
2. Press the wire-feeding button [6] once. The heating LED [2b]
will light red to indicate the pen is preheating.
3. Leave the pen to preheat for about 1 minute or until the heating
LED [2b] turns green.
4. Insert the filament through the wire-feeding hole [1] and hold
the wire-feeding button [6] pressed to load it into the pen. Wait
for molten filament to come out of the nozzle [5].
5. The pen is now ready for use. Adjust the feeding speed with the
speed controller [4] if necessary.
6. When done drawing, hold the wire-unloading button [7] pressed
to unload the filament out of the pen. Next, hold the wire-
feeding button [6]pressed to extrude molten filament rests and
to clean the inside of the nozzle [5]. Disconnect the pen from
the mains and leave it to cool down before storing.
Notes:
Do not touch the nozzle when the pen is switched on!
The pen will switch to stand-by after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Repeat step 2 above to reheat the pen.
Preheating time depends from the set temperature (adjust
through the temperature controller [3]) and the ambient
temperature. Make sure the set temperature is correct:
otoo hot: filament will be too hot and watery
otoo cold: filament will not melt
Cut off the end of the filament before inserting it through the
wire-feeding hole [1].
Always unload the filament and clean the inside of the nozzle [5]
after each use (see step 6 above).
