Press ok when new color appears Cancel ok ok Change Load • The extruder is heated up to 220℃. • After heat completed, insert the filament into the extruder at an upright angle until some resistance is sensed(as the filament is pushed through the feeding wheel). • Load will complete when you see filament come out of extruder. 220/220℃ 220/220℃ Load Unloading the filament, please wait...
Chapter 3: Q&A Q1. How to solve if the nozzle is clogged？ Method 1: Tap [Preheat], heat up the extruder to 200℃, after heating completed, press the air tube joint and pull out the filament guide tube. Check to see whether the filament is bended or filament tip is not smooth, cut filament tip smooth and flat, install the guide tube and filament back, Tap [Load] . Method 2: If method 1 not improving, use an unclogging pin tool to unclog filament.
Q3. Do we need to do extruder calibration again after replacing nozzle? Yes, do extruder calibration again to ensure high print quality as minimal error may be caused by extruder installation. Q4. How to solve if displayed temperature is abnormal after replacing nozzle? Abnormal temperature indicates extruder sensor can not be read, please check the nozzle whether it is well installed. Q5.
Q12. What kinds of file formats does Adventurer 3 support? Input: 3mf / stl / obj / fpp / bmp / png / jpg / jpeg files. Output: gx/g files. Q13. Does Adventurer 3 support other cloud platform besides the FlashCloud? Yes, Adventurer 3 interface is open up to all other cloud platforms. Q14. Is the ABS printing safe? ABS filament will give off certain poisonous gas when heated up, please put the printer in well ventilated condition when printing ABS.
