സജ്ജീകരണ ഗൈഡ്

  1. ഉപകരണം അൺപാക്ക് ചെയ്യുക: Carefully remove the filament connector and all accessories from its packaging.
  2. കേടുപാടുകൾക്കായി പരിശോധിക്കുക: Check the device for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damaged, contact customer support.
  3. പ്ലേസ്മെൻ്റ്: Place the filament connector on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
  4. പവർ കണക്ഷൻ: Connect the power adapter to the device and then plug it into a suitable power outlet. The device will power on and display its current status.

പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Follow these steps to effectively join 1.75mm 3D printer filaments:

  1. Prepare Filaments: Ensure both ends of the filaments to be joined are cut cleanly and are free of debris.
  2. പവർ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക: Plug in the device. The display will activate.
  3. Select Material and Temperature:

    Use the control buttons to select the appropriate filament material (e.g., PLA, PETG, ABS). The device has preset temperatures for common materials. Refer to the temperature chart below for guidance.

  6. Initiate Heating: Close the cover. The device will begin heating to the selected temperature. Monitor the progress on the display.
  7. Filament Welding: Once the device reaches the target temperature and the melting time is complete (refer to the chart below), the filaments will be fused. The device may indicate completion.
  8. Remove Fused Filament: Carefully open the cover and remove the newly joined filament. Allow it to cool completely before handling or winding onto a spool.
