with the 4pcs of M5x25 pre-installed on the base.
STEP 2
Slide the spool holder into the groove on the base as shown in the picture
below, and press it down to fix in place:
STEP 3
Connect the Z endstop cable, then connect the Z stepper motor, finally,
connect the main cable.
STEP 4
Install the hotend onto the carriage with the M3x6 screws (3pcs) supplied in
the tool bag.
STEP 5
Connect the extruder cable, tighten down the cable by turning the locking
mechanism.
STEP 6
Adjust the tension on the eccentric nuts with the spanner supplied when
needed.
LEVELING THE BUILD PLATE
To print good parts, the build plate needs to be leveled, and the nozzle needs to be about 0.1mm from the build plate in all locations. This is about the thickness of a single piece of A4 paper. You want to adjust the height of the build plate so that you can barely slide the paper between the nozzle and the build plate with only a little resistance.
- Select Temperature -> Preheat PLA -> Preheat PLA. This will heat up the bed and the nozzle t actual printing conditions, making the leveling more accurate. Wait for 1 minute after the machine reached the target temperature.
- Select Motion -> Level Corners. This will home the machine first, then move the nozzle to the first corner.
- Slide a piece of A4 paper between the nozzle and the build plate.
- Turn the leveling knob under the bed closest to the nozzle until the piece of paper slides, with just a bit of drag.
- Choose Next to move to the Next Point, and repeat step 4.
- Leveling is completed after all 4 points are leveled.
- You may want to repeat steps 5-6 for 2-3 times for better results, since adjusting one corner will affect other corners.
- You may need to make fine adjustments to the bed level when you start printing. The first layer of the print will show whether the distance between the nozzle and the build plate is correct. You want it to be pushed into the build surface slightly to maximize surface area contact while still allowing good extrusion flow.
• You can try to carefully adjust the leveling knob during the first layer of the print while the plate is moving until the distance between the nozzle and the build, the plate is producing smooth extruded lines.
• After you have fine-tuned the bed level during the first layer, you may want to stop the print, clear the build plate, and restart the print.
PREPARING SLICING SOFTWARE
This printer works with most slicing software like Slic3r, Cura, Simplify3D,
etc. But we will go in detail for Cura software and tell you how to set it up
so that you can make your first print. First, we recommend you to install the
software on the memory card included, for other operating systems, please
download from their official site.
After installation and start the software, you should see the following
screen, continue until you see Add a printer page:
In the Add, a non-networked printer , scroll down to Custom and choose C ustom FFF Printer, and type in A rtillery Hornet in Printer name. Then click on the Next button.
Set X (Width) , Y (Depth) as 220, Z (Height) as 250. Make sure Heated Bed is checked, then copy and replace the content of the Start G-code. txt and End G-code.txt on the memory card to the respective fields.
Change Compatible material diameter to 1.75
From the toolbar, click on Preferences - > Configure Cura…
Click on Profiles then click on the Import button.
Browse to the memory card and import the profile files.
Profile successfully imported.
Click on Print settings and the floating window will pop up.
From the Profile dropdown, choose the imported profile.
Drag and drop the STL file (or another supported format) to the slicer or load the model file with File - > Open File(s)… then click on the Slice button.
