FAQ

• Q: How to make the surface of a model more smooth?
  A: To make a model look shiny and feel smooth, you need to use sand paper or other tools to polish it. You can also select “High” in the precision setting to make better surface finishing. If the condition is intolerable and difficult to fix, contact the Customer Service Department.

• Q: Is the printer compatible with other filaments?
  A: Not yet, please use KOKONI modified PLA filament.

• Q: How to change the filament?
  A: Launch the KO KON I App and go through “My Printer” -“Replace Filament” to change it. More detailed instructions is shown on Pages 11 ~ 12 of the manual. Change the filament without KOKONI App could cause print quality issue or even damage the printer itself.

• Q: Why doesn’t the model stick onto the base plate?
  A: When the first layer of a model doesn’t stick to the base plate, apply a layer of glue to the base plate and do printing at a room temperature ranging from 20°C to 25°C as a proper temperature could prvent the base plate from bending over. Model warping is a normal phenomenon caused by the physical properties of the plastic itself, so printing in a warm environment can help to alleviate bottom warping.

• Q: How many models can a reel of the filament make?
  A: The reel of the filament is 70m, and the number of models it could make depends on the size of the models. Models in large size may need more filament. A more complicated model may consume more filament, too. On average, a real of filament may print out about 20 simple models.

• Q: Is it possible to resume the last printing task following a power failure?
  A: Negative, once the power is out, the printing process ends.

• Q: The connected printer becomes offline.
  A: Reboot the printer and KOKO NI App. If the printer still remains offline, delete it and reconnect the printer for network configuration.
