5. Configuració inicial
5.1. Anivellació del llit
Proper bed leveling is crucial for successful prints. The Ender 3 features large hand-twist nuts for easier bed leveling.

- Heat the bed to your desired printing temperature (e.g., 60°C for PLA).
- Disable steppers from the control panel.
- Move the hotend to each of the four corners of the bed.
- Use a piece of paper between the nozzle and the bed. Adjust the leveling nuts until you feel slight resistance when moving the paper.
- Repeat for all four corners multiple times until the bed is consistently leveled.
5.2. Instal·lació de programari
The Ender 3 is compatible with various slicing software, such as Creality Print, Cura, or PrusaSlicer. Install your preferred software on a personal computer (compatible with Windows XP and newer operating systems).
Tallar: Use the software to convert your 3D models (e.g., OBJ format) into G-code, which the printer understands.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
6.1. Filament de càrrega
- Col·loqueu el carrete de filament al portafilaments.
- Feed the filament through the filament sensor (if present) and into the extruder.
- Heat the hotend to the appropriate temperature for your filament (e.g., 200°C for PLA).
- Press the extruder lever and push the filament through the hotend until it extrudes smoothly from the nozzle.
6.2. Inici d'una impressió
- Desa el teu codi G tallat file a la targeta SD proporcionada.
- Introduïu la targeta SD a la ranura per a targetes SD de la impressora.
- Navigate the printer's menu to "Print from SD" and select your file.
- The printer will begin heating the bed and nozzle, then start the print.
6.3. Resume Printing Function
The Ender 3 features a resume printing function. In case of a power outage or accidental disconnection, the printer can resume the print from where it left off once power is restored.
