Printer Start-up

1. After turning on the Power switch, there will be a beep sound and the indicating light in white color will start to flash (to ensure better print quality, please place the printer on an flat and stable place).
2. Wait for the printer to perform its power-on self-test procedure. This may take about 30 to 60 seconds. Then, the white indicating light will stop flashing, and the printer is ready for use.
   Tips:
   You can download the printer control KOKONI 3D App while waiting (Search KOKONI 3D App in the App store Android/IOS)

KOKONI 3D App Installation

http://www.kokoni.ltd/home/#/pages/downLoadApp/downLoadApp

1. Scan the QR code to download the KOKONI 3D App

WiFi Network Configuration

Attention:
Here are some simplified instructions regarding WiFi connectivity for certain phone models:

1. For certain phone models, it may take some time to find a WiFi hotspot. Please wait, refresh, or turn off the WiFi function and then restart it.
2. Please turn off the following functions on some phone models: WiFi Security Inspection, WLAN+, Network Intelligent Selection, Connect to the Best WLAN

Network, and Automatically Switch the Cellular Network.

1. If you encounter issues with WiFi network configuration, please follow these steps to diagnose the problem:
2. Double-check the WiFi account and password, ensuring that you are entering the correct credentials for the current WiFi environment and not the KOKONI3D hotspot.
   Make sure the network environment is good. If the problem persists, try connecting to a different network. Please note that 5G WiFi is not compatible. For specific WiFi network configuration instructions for different phone models, refer to the Operation Guidance of the App. 06

Bluetooth Connection

1. Connect the power supply and switch on the printer, wait until the white light stops flashing,  then press and hold the red Network Configuration button tillit beeps. Start the Bluetooth connection and wait for the pairing
2. Successfully established Bluetooth connection, enter an available Wi-Fi name and password, connect the printer to the Internet.

Attention:

1. Please connect to your “local” Wifi SSID
2. Support 2.4GHz connection Only

Quick Print

Attention:

1. Once you start printing, the printer typically takes around 2 minutes to heat up. Please be patient and wait for it to complete the heating process.
2. It is crucial that you never touch any moving parts of the printer, as it can cause injuries. Be cautious of the hot nozzle. If anything goes wrong during the printing process, you can press on the “Cancel” button in KOKONI 3D App to stop the printing or simply unplug the power adapter. In such cases, try to avoid touching both the nozzle and the printing bed.

Video Monitoring

1. Press on the “Video Monitoring” button during the printing process.
2. You will be redirected to the Video Monitoring screen, and see the 5s video

Time-lapse Video

1. Click on “View and Download Time-lapse Video” on the completed model printing screen
   Note: If you close this page, the video will not be saved.

2. You will be redirected to the Time-lapse Video screen, where you can download or share the video.

3D Avatar Modeling

Attention:

1. Requirements for 3D Avatar modeling: (1) You can use a smartphone to capture a selfie or upload a photo. (2) Make sure the person is well-lit and facing the camera without any obstructions. (3) Avoid wearing hats in the photos. (4) Do not take side profile selfies. (5) Upload high-definition photos. (6) Only upload photos of one person. Please note that this function is only suitable for modeling the faces of living human beings.
2. If you see a prompt saying “no face,” please try changing to a brighter environment, remove your glasses, and take a clear photo of your face without any obstructions.
3. If you see a prompt saying “Image format is not standard,” please try taking pictures with your camera instead and avoid uploading motion pictures like GIFs.

Object Modeling

Attention:

1. Object modeling requires precise 3-dimensional measurement using 20 to 300 images taken around the object. Each image should be taken from a different angle, with movements of the viewing angle being less than 30 degrees. The images should also overlap with each other by more than 60%.
2. The system will automatically verify if the uploaded photos meet the requirements. You need at least 20 qualified photos for the modeling process. The modeling process, done through a computer algorithm, takes approximately half an hour in the background. You can close the
   page while the modeling is in progress. Once completed, a notification message will pop up if the “Push Notification” function is enabled. You can then check the model in the “My Models” section.

Model Upload

1. Access the KOKONI model synchronization website:
   http://wwew.KOKONI.Itd/home/pages/modelSync/modelSync

2.  Enter “My Models” and click ° Upload a Model ° in the right upper comer

3. Upload the model

4. Go to”My Account” -“My Models” in the App to check uploaded models.

Filament Replacement

Product Maintenance

In case the model is unable to be taken out from the printbed, or any foreign objects need to be removed from the printer, click “My Printer” in the App for maintenance. The printer will automatically heat up and push the printing bed outwards.

1. Go to “My Printer”
2. Click ” Maintain “
3. Lift up the base plate with the model on to take it out from the cabinet and just bend the former a little bit to separate it from the latter (suggested to change the base plate every 3~6 month)

Cleaning Up

1. Clear the cabinet with tweezers
2. As the nozzle needs to heat up to 200℃ more or less before started to print, it is normal to see surplus materials coming out.

FAQ

Q: How can I make the surface of a model smoother?

Q: Can the printer work with other filaments?

A: Currently, the printer is only compatible with KOKONI modified PLA filament. Please use that filament for your printing needs.

Q: How do I change the filament?

Q: How many models can I make with one reel of filament?

A: The length of the filament reel is 70 meters, and the number of models it can produce depends on their size. Larger models may require more filament, and more complex models may also consume additional filament. On average, a reel of filament can print approximately 20 simple models.

Q: Can I resume a printing task after a power failure?

A: No, once a power failure occurs, the printing process ends and cannot be resumed.

Q: What should I do if the connected printer goes offline?

A: Try rebooting both the printer and the KOKONI 3D App. If the printer remains offline, delete it from the app and reconnect it for network configuration.
