4.2 Initial Bed Leveling (CR Touch)
The CR Touch 16-point automatic bed leveling technology simplifies the leveling process. After assembly, perform the auto-leveling procedure:
- Navigate to the "Leveling" menu on the control screen.
- Select "Auto Level" to initiate the 16-point probing process.
- Once auto-leveling is complete, fine-tune the Z-offset to ensure optimal first layer adhesion. Adjust the Z-axis compensation value so that the height from the nozzle to the printing platform is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Càrrega de filaments
The Ender 3 S1 features an upgraded dual-gear direct extruder, making filament loading and unloading smooth. It supports various filaments including PLA, TPU, PETG, and ABS.
- Col·loqueu la bobina de filament al portabobines.
- Feed the filament into the extruder until it is gripped by the gears.
- Preheat the hotend to the recommended temperature for your filament type.
- Push the filament through the hotend until it extrudes smoothly.

5.2 Procés d'impressió
The Ender 3 S1 boasts a remarkable printing speed of up to 200mm/s, significantly reducing print times.
- Prepare your 3D model using a slicing software (e.g., Creality Print, Cura) and save it to the SD card.
- Insert the SD card into the printer's card slot.
- Select your desired model from the "Print" menu on the control screen.
- Confirm print settings and start the print.

5.4 Funcions avançades
- Silent Board: Equipped with a 32-bit silent mainboard, the Ender 3 S1 operates at a low noise level (≤50dB), providing a quieter printing environment.
- Dual Z-axis Screws: The dual Z-axis screw and dual-motor design ensures smoother and more synchronous movement, reducing lines and ridges on prints for higher precision.
- Recuperació de pèrdua d'energia: The printer can detect power outages and resume printing from where it left off, preventing wasted filament and time.
- Sensor de filament: An integrated filament sensor detects when filament runs out or breaks, pausing the print and alerting the user to prevent failed prints.

6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Ender 3 S1 3D printer.
- Netegeu la base d'impressió: After each print, clean the PC spring steel sheet with isopropyl alcohol to ensure good adhesion for subsequent prints.
- Neteja de broquets: Periodically clean the nozzle to prevent clogs. Use the provided needle or a brass brush when the hotend is heated.
- Lubricate Z-axis Screws: Apply a small amount of lithium grease or similar lubricant to the Z-axis lead screws every few months to ensure smooth movement.
- Check Belts and Pulleys: Ensure that the X and Y-axis belts are properly tensioned and that the pulleys are free of debris.
- Actualitzacions de firmware: Check the official Comgrow or Creality weblloc web per obtenir les darreres actualitzacions de firmware per assegurar-vos que la impressora tingui les funcions i correccions d'errors més recents.
7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| First layer not sticking | Incorrect Z-offset, dirty print bed, bed not heated enough. | Adjust Z-offset, clean print bed with isopropyl alcohol, increase bed temperature. |
| El filament no s'extrudeix | Clogged nozzle, tangled filament, incorrect temperature. | Clear nozzle clog, untangle filament, verify hotend temperature. |
| Mala qualitat d'impressió (canvis de capes, encordat) | Corretges fluixes, velocitat d'impressió incorrecta, configuració de retracció. | Check and tighten belts, reduce print speed, adjust retraction settings in slicer. |
| La impressora no s'encén | Power cable issue, power supply switch. | Ensure power cable is securely connected, check power switch position. |
