2. Instrucións de seguridade

Observe sempre as seguintes precaucións de seguridade:

  • Keep the printer away from flammable materials and heat sources.
  • Asegurar unha ventilación adecuada durante o funcionamento.
  • Do not touch the hot nozzle or heated bed during operation or immediately after printing.
  • Always disconnect power before performing maintenance or cleaning.
  • Manter fóra do alcance dos nenos e animais.
  • Comprobe a fonte de alimentación voltage switch is set correctly for your region (115V or 230V) before plugging in the device. This switch is typically located near the power input.

3. Configuración e montaxe

3.1 Desembalaxe e inspección

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any visible damage during transit. Refer to the packing list to ensure all parts are present.

3.2 Pasos de montaxe

The SUNLU T3 3D Printer is designed for easy assembly, typically completed in three main steps:

  1. Attach the gantry to the base.
  2. Mount the power supply unit/control box.
  3. Instale o soporte da bobina de filamento.

Asegúrese de que todas as conexións estean seguras e que os cables estean encamiñados correctamente.

5.2 Limpeza xeral

Regularly clean the print bed, nozzle, and other accessible parts to prevent debris buildup. Use appropriate tools and cleaning solutions as recommended by the manufacturer.

5.3 Hot End Maintenance

Periodically inspect the hot end assembly. Ensure all components are securely fastened and free from filament residue. If necessary, carefully disassemble and reassemble the hot end, ensuring proper seating of all parts.

6 Solución de problemas

ProblemaCausa posibleSolución
No power upon startupVol. incorrectotage switch setting, loose power connections, internal wiring issue.Comprobe a fonte de alimentación voltage switch (115V/230V) is correctly set. Check all power cable connections. If issues persist, contact support.
Filament not extruding / CloggingNozzle clog, tangled filament, incorrect temperature.Utilize the printer's clog detection feature to pause and clear the nozzle. Ensure filament is untangled and loaded correctly. Verify print temperature settings.
Prints not adhering to bedUneven bed, dirty print surface, incorrect bed temperature, first layer height issues.Perform auto-leveling. Clean the magnetic build plate. Adjust bed temperature according to filament type. Calibrate first layer height.
Visible ringing or ghosting on printsLoose belts, excessive print speed/acceleration, unstable printer placement.Adjust belt tension using the X-axis and Y-axis adjusters. Reduce print speed and acceleration settings in your slicer. Ensure the printer is on a stable surface.
Filament run-out or breakage during printEmpty spool, brittle filament, excessive tension.The printer will pause automatically. Replace the filament and resume printing. Store filament properly to prevent brittleness.
