2. Instrucións de seguridade

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the Anet ET5X 3D printer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury, property damage, or poor print quality.

• Superficies quentes: The print nozzle and heated bed can reach high temperatures. Avoid touching these components during operation or immediately after printing. Allow them to cool completely before handling.
• Pezas móbiles: The printer contains moving parts that can cause injury. Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing clear of the print head, bed, and gantry during operation.
• Ventilación: Operate the printer in a well-ventilated area. Some filaments may produce fumes during printing.
• Seguridade eléctrica: Ensure the printer is connected to a properly grounded power outlet. Do not operate with damaged power cords or plugs.
• Filament Handling: Use appropriate filament types for your printer. Store filament in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
• Supervisión: Non deixe a impresora desatendida durante o funcionamento, especialmente durante impresións longas.

3.2 Asemblea

The Anet ET5X is designed for quick assembly. The main gantry comes pre-assembled and simply needs to be attached to the base unit. Follow these general steps:

1. Place the base unit on a stable, level surface.
2. Carefully align the gantry with the designated mounting points on the base.
3. Secure the gantry to the base using the provided screws and tools.
4. Connect the motor cables and other necessary wiring as indicated in the manual.
5. Attach the filament spool holder to the top of the gantry.

3.3 Initial Power On and Touchscreen Interface

Connect the power cable and turn on the printer. The 3.5-inch LCD color touchscreen provides an intuitive user interface for controlling the printer's functions.

5. Mantemento

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Anet ET5X 3D printer.

• Limpeza: Regularly clean the print bed, nozzle, and gantry rails to prevent debris buildup. Use a soft cloth and appropriate cleaning solutions.
• Mantemento de boquillas: Periodically check the nozzle for wear or clogs. Replace the nozzle if print quality degrades significantly. The printer comes with an extra 0.4mm nozzle.
• Tensión da correa: Ensure the X and Y axis belts are properly tensioned. Overly loose or tight belts can affect print accuracy. Adjust using the eccentric nuts if necessary.
• Lubricación: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the Z-axis lead screws periodically to ensure smooth movement.

6 Solución de problemas

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Anet ET5X 3D printer.

6.1 Common Print Issues

• Poor Bed Adhesion: Ensure the print bed is clean and level. Adjust Z-offset if the first layer is not sticking or is too squished. Consider using an adhesive like glue stick or hairspray.
• Obstrución de filamentos: This can be caused by heat creep, incorrect temperature settings, or dirty nozzles. Ensure proper cooling of the hotend and try a cold pull to clear clogs.
• Cambio de capas: Often caused by loose belts, motor issues, or physical obstructions. Check belt tension and ensure smooth movement of all axes.

6.2 Z-Axis Homing Issues

Some users have reported Z-axis homing issues where the printer does not home correctly. This can sometimes be related to firmware bugs or sensor calibration. Anet has indicated plans to release open-source firmware to address such issues.

6.3 Actualizacións de firmware

Anet is actively working on firmware updates to improve functionality and address known bugs. Check the official Anet website or support channels for the latest firmware versions and installation instructions.
