2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger
Please read all safety instructions carefully before operating the Geeetech M1 3D Printer to ensure safe and proper use.
- Varme overflader: The nozzle and print bed can reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid touching these parts directly to prevent burns. Allow them to cool completely before handling.
- Bevægelige dele: Printeren indeholder bevægelige dele, der kan forårsage skade. Hold hænder, hår og løstsiddende tøj væk fra printhovedet og andre bevægelige komponenter under drift.
- Elektrisk sikkerhed: Use only the provided power adapter. Do not operate the printer with damaged cables or plugs. Ensure the printer is placed on a stable, level surface and is properly grounded.
- Ventilation: Operate the printer in a well-ventilated area. Some filaments may produce odors or fumes during printing.
- Børnetilsyn: While designed to be child-safe, adult supervision is always recommended when children are operating or near the 3D printer.
- Håndtering af filamenter: Store filament in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect print quality.

4. Opsætningsvejledning
The Geeetech M1 is designed for quick setup, allowing you to start printing in approximately 10 minutes.
4.1 Udpakning og placering
- Tag forsigtigt printeren og alt tilbehør ud af emballagen.
- Place the printer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the printer for ventilation and operation.
- Connect the power adapter to the printer and then to a suitable power outlet.
4.2 Filamentladning
The Geeetech M1 supports 1.75mm PLA and TPU filaments.
- Mount a filament spool onto the external spool holder.
- Gently feed the filament into the filament sensor and then into the extruder's input hole until it reaches the hotend.
- On the printer's 2.4-inch LCD color screen, navigate to the 'Load Filament' option and follow the on-screen prompts to automatically load the filament through the nozzle.

4.3 Auto-Leveling
The Geeetech M1 features 16-point auto-leveling, eliminating the need for manual bed calibration.
- Tænd for printeren.
- From the main menu on the LCD screen, select the 'Auto-Level' or 'Leveling' option.
- The printer will automatically probe 16 points on the print bed to create a mesh for accurate printing. Wait for the process to complete.

5.2 Preparing Print Files
3D models (typically .STL files) need to be converted into G-code files (.gcode) using a slicing software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer). Save the .gcode file til et microSD-kort.
5.3 Start af en udskrivning
- Insert the microSD card containing your .gcode file i printerens kortplads.
- From the main menu, navigate to 'Print' or 'Files'.
- Select your desired .gcode file fra listen.
- Confirm your selection to begin the printing process. The printer will preheat the nozzle and bed before starting the print.
5.4 Monitoring and Performance
The Geeetech M1 boasts a print speed of up to 250mm/s and a printing precision of ±0.1mm, ensuring smooth and detailed outputs.

- Monitor the print progress on the LCD screen.
- The PEI heat bed allows for effortless removal of printed models once the bed has cooled.
- The dual-drive metal extruder ensures consistent filament feeding for reliable prints.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Geeetech M1 3D Printer.
- Rengøring af dyse: The printer features auto nozzle cleaning. Additionally, periodically use the provided cleaning needle to clear any clogs from the 0.4mm nozzle. Perform this when the nozzle is heated.
- Print Bed Cleaning: After each print, allow the PEI print bed to cool and then gently wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. For stubborn residue, use isopropyl alcohol.
- Extruder Maintenance: Inspect the dual-drive metal extruder gears periodically for any filament residue buildup. Clean as necessary with a small brush.
- Generel rengøring: Keep the printer free from dust and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean hard-to-reach areas.
- Opbevaring af filamenter: Store unused filament in a cool, dry place, preferably in a sealed bag with desiccant, to prevent moisture absorption.
7. Fejlfinding
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Geeetech M1 3D Printer.
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Filament ekstruderer ikke | Tilstoppet dyse, sammenfiltret filament, forkert temperatur. | Perform auto nozzle cleaning. Use cleaning needle to clear nozzle. Check filament path for tangles. Verify print temperature settings. |
| Printet klæber ikke fast til sengen | Bed not level, dirty bed, incorrect bed temperature. | Run auto-leveling. Clean the PEI print bed with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure correct bed temperature for your filament type. |
| Poor print quality (layer shifts, stringing) | Loose belts, incorrect print speed, retraction settings. | Ensure printer is stable. Adjust print speed in slicing software. Optimize retraction settings in slicing software. |
| Filament run-out/breakage | Empty spool, brittle filament, excessive tension. | The printer has filament break detection. Replace the filament spool. Ensure filament is not brittle (store properly). |
