3.4 Upgraded Components

Compared to the previous S8 version, the S8 Plus features several improvements, including an upgraded Extruder Spring, Swing-Arm, Filament Hanging Holder, and Carborundum Glass Bed, enhancing overall performance and user experience.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

4.1 Tænd/sluk

To power on the printer, ensure all connections are secure and plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Use the power switch located on the side of the machine to turn it on or off.

4.2 Indlæsning af filament

Place the filament spool onto the filament hanging holder. Gently feed the filament through the filament detection sensor and into the extruder. Heat the nozzle to the appropriate temperature for your filament type (e.g., 200-220°C for PLA) and push the filament until it extrudes smoothly from the nozzle.

4.3 Start af en udskrivning

Prepare your 3D model using a slicing software (e.g., Cura) and save it to a TF card. Insert the TF card into the printer's card slot. Navigate the printer's menu to select your desired file and initiate the print. Ensure the print bed is properly leveled before starting.

4.4 Overvågning og pausering af udskrifter

Monitor the printing process to ensure proper adhesion and layer deposition. If necessary, you can pause the print via the printer's control panel. This is useful for filament changes or inspecting the print progress.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and consistent performance of your SUNLU S8 Plus 3D Printer.

• Rengør printpladen: After each print, allow the print bed to cool and carefully remove the printed object. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue and ensure good adhesion for future prints.
• Rengøring af dyse: Periodically check the nozzle for clogs. You can use a thin needle or a cold pull method to clear any obstructions.
• Smør bevægelige dele: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the Z-axis lead screws and smooth rods 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.
• Firmwareopdateringer: Check the official SUNLU website for any available firmware updates to improve printer functionality and performance.

6. Fejlfinding

This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more detailed troubleshooting or persistent problems, please contact customer support.

6.1 Almindelige udskrivningsproblemer

• Dårlig vedhæftning af sengen:
  • Ensure the print bed is clean and free of grease or dust.
  • Verify proper bed leveling. The nozzle should be at an optimal distance from the bed (e.g., paper thickness).
  • Adjust bed temperature and first layer print speed in your slicing software.
• Filament ekstruderer ikke:
  • Check if the nozzle is clogged. Perform a cold pull or use a cleaning needle.
  • Ensure the filament is loaded correctly and not tangled.
  • Verify the extruder gear is gripping the filament and not slipping.
• Lagskift:
  • Check the tension of the X and Y axis belts. They should be taut but not overly tight.
  • Ensure the printer is on a stable surface to prevent vibrations.
  • Reducer udskrivningshastigheden, især for komplekse geometrier.
