6. Instruccions de funcionament

Follow these steps to prepare and start your 3D prints.

1. Preparació del model 3D: Use a compatible slicing software (e.g., Elegoo Cura, PrusaSlicer) to convert your 3D model file (STL, OBJ) into G-code. Ensure your slicing profile matches the Centauri Carbon's specifications and the filament you are using.
2. Carrega el filament:
   • Ensure the nozzle is at room temperature or preheated to the filament's loading temperature (check filament manufacturer's recommendations).
   • Col·loqueu la bobina de filament al suport designat.
   • Feed the filament into the extruder's input until it is gripped by the gears.
   • Use the touchscreen interface to initiate the filament loading process. The printer will automatically heat the nozzle and extrude a small amount of filament to prime it.
3. Començar a imprimir:
   • Transfer the prepared G-code file to the printer via USB drive or network connection.
   • Seleccioneu el desitjat file from the printer's intuitive touchscreen interface.
   • Confirm the print settings and initiate the print. The printer will automatically heat the print bed and nozzle to the required temperatures before starting the print.
4. Impressió del monitor:
   • Utilize the integrated camera for real-time monitoring of the print progress. This allows you to check for issues and ensure a successful print.
   • The touchscreen displays print status, current temperatures, and estimated remaining print time.
   • Adjust settings such as print speed or fan speed if necessary, directly from the touchscreen or connected software.

5. Elimina la impressió: Once the print is complete and the print bed has cooled down, carefully remove the printed object from the flexible print plate. The plate's design facilitates easy removal of prints.

7. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures consistent print quality and extends the lifespan of your ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 3D Printer.

• Cleaning the Print Bed: After each print, allow the print bed to cool and then clean it with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue and ensure optimal adhesion for future prints.
• Manteniment de broquets: Periodically check the nozzle for clogs. Use the provided cleaning needle to clear any blockages. If printing with abrasive filaments (e.g., carbon fiber reinforced), inspect the hardened steel nozzle for wear and replace it if necessary.
• Extruder Cleaning: Keep the extruder gears free of filament debris to ensure smooth filament feeding. Use a small brush or compressed air if needed.
• Lubricació: Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., lithium grease) to the Z-axis lead screws and other moving parts as recommended by ELEGOO to maintain smooth motion.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: Regularly check the official ELEGOO website for any available firmware updates. Keeping your printer's firmware up-to-date can provide performance improvements, new features, and bug fixes.
• Neteja general: Keep the printer's exterior and interior free of dust and filament scraps. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
