5. Instruccions de funcionament
This section details the steps for preparing and initiating a 3D print.
- Preparació del programari: The printer is compatible with various slicing software such as Cura, Repetier-Host, or Simplify3D. Use your preferred software to convert your 3D model (e.g., STL file) into G-code, which the printer understands.
- Càrrega del filament:
- Col·loqueu el carrete de filament al portafilaments.
- Feed the filament into the extruder mechanism.
- Heat the nozzle to the appropriate temperature for your filament type (e.g., PLA: 190-220°C, ABS: 220-250°C).
- Once heated, push the filament through the extruder until it emerges from the nozzle.
- Loading Print File:
- Save your G-code file onto the provided MicroSD card.
- Insert the MicroSD card into the slot on the control box.
- Navigate the printer's menu using the control knob and LCD screen to select your print file.
- Inici d'una impressió: Select 'Print' from the menu. The printer will automatically heat the bed and nozzle to the set temperatures, then begin the printing process.
- Monitoring the Print: Observe the first few layers to ensure proper adhesion to the heated build plate. The heated build plate allows for high-reliability printing of slow cooling materials, such as ABS, as well as PLA and PLA blends.
- Print Completion: Once the print is finished, allow the bed and nozzle to cool down before carefully removing the printed object.

6. Manteniment
Un manteniment regular garanteix un rendiment òptim i una llarga vida útil de la impressora 3D.
- Netegeu la placa de construcció: After each print, clean the build plate to remove any residue. Use isopropyl alcohol for best results.
- Neteja de broquets: Periodically clean the nozzle to prevent clogs. A small brass brush or needle can be used for this purpose.
- Lubricació: Lubricate the smooth rods and lead screws with appropriate grease or oil every few weeks, depending on usage. Pay particular attention to the bearings under the print bed, as they are subject to wear.
- Tighten Belts and Screws: Check and tighten all belts and screws regularly to maintain print accuracy and prevent vibrations.
- Actualitzacions de firmware: Check the Monoprice website for any available firmware updates to improve printer functionality.
7. Solució De Problemes
