Quick Guide

Welcome to 3DISON PRO

Welcome to 3DISON PRO!

3DISON PRO is a desktop 3D printer based on the fused filament fabrication (FFF) Method, boasting up to 25 micron (0.025 mm) of

superfine layer and speed of up to 1000mm/sec. When it comes to printable materials, 3DISON PRO features versatility providing wider

options of materials such as metal paste as well as filament spool types just by interchanging the extruder. In case of the Premium Edison,

it is possible to cut off a thin wood or acrylic board what you design with a laser engraver, to monitor all printing processes in real time

without staying around the printer.

※ FFF method : This method works by laying down consecutive layers of material at high temperatures allowing the adjacent layers to cool and

bond together before the next layer is deposited.

● 3dison Pro uses filament as a basic material. This guide has been made for basic use. In Edison Pro the spool type of filament is mainly

used. This quick guide is designed to give the general outline for basic functions. Please refer to the enveloped user manual with further

details on using converting software, metal printing, laser engraver, and WiFi camera.

● The horizontality of the printing bed of the product was adjusted already when shipped out from the factory but the horizontality can

warp by impact during transportation. As the horizontality of the printing bed affects the quality of output significantly, please understand

the method of adjusting the horizontality (leveling) through the manual when you purchase the product and adjust the horizontality at

least once a day.

Leveling the Printing Bed

Put a sheet of A4 paper onto the printing bed before manual lev-eling.

1

Select Utilities > Standard Lev-eling on the display menu. When pressing the OK button, the ex-truder will move to the front, back, left, right and center.)

2

When the nozzle lands on each position of the front, back, left and right, adjust the round nuts to the right height in the same way. If you feel the paper is slightly scratchy, it is fine.

3

Select Utilities > Auto Leveling on the display menu. Once the ex-truder moves to the middle, adjust round nuts beneath the printing bed so that both nozzles can land on the middle of the bed.

4

In CreatorK, put the check mark in the Auto-leveling item when generating Gcode.Auto-leveling function automati-cally works during the printing.

5

Start 3D printing(with a Single nozzle)

※ You can also print directly on your CreatorK by connecting your com-

puter to the printer with the USB cable without saving and using SD card.

※ You can download this software Creator K and the concerned manual

on the ROKIT’s website. (http://en.3disonprinter.com/)

Prepare STL or OBJ file you want to print out. You can also easily download STL files from free 3D file websites.

Insert the SD Card on the top of the printer.

1

5

Select File > Open and choose STL file you want to 3D print out. Otherwise you can just drag and drop the 3D image file to Crea-torK 8.

Select the file in x3g format to start to print on LCD panel.

2

6

Generate G code after entering the desired settings by click-ing the G code generation icon which is located in the far left of the bar.

3

SD card icon color will change, indicating G-code is has gener-ated successfully. And then click the SD-Card button to save the file as x3g format into SD Card.

4

Start 3D printing(with dual nozzle)

Prepare two STL or OBJ files which compose a single object.

1

Click the G-code bar on the top of the window to import the two files. Choose [Merge.stl for Dual Extrusion] to merge into one g-code file.

2

Click [Browser] of Save As to set the name of the file to save and click [Merge] button.

3

Following you will see the two pop-up windows that settings must be made separately. (You CANNOT use support function in the dual nozzle system. For two files cannot mesh with each other if the supports are printed.

4

After finishing generating G-code, click the SD-Card button to save the file as x3g format into SD Card.

5

※ The size, shape and location movement of the dual file should be changed in 3D design program only. If you change the dual file after importing it to Creator K, output may be damaged as the two files will collide to each other or error will may occur.

※ You can also print directly on your CreatorK by connecting your computer to the printer with the USB cable without saving and us-ing SD card.

※ You can download this software Creator K and the concerned manual on the ROKIT’s website. (http://en.3disonprinter.com/)

Select the file in x3g format to start to print on LCD panel.

6

※ Despite of using auto-leveling function, if the gradient of the printing bed is too steep because no zero point leveling has been done, Z axis will operate too much and may lower the quality of the output. (We recommend using auto leveling after standard leveling has been completed.)

※ Before printing, please check to see if 1) the machine type corresponds to your printer on page 16 of the user manual, and 2) profile options is proper on page 19 of the user manual.

※ If there happens to be a some distance between the nozzles and the bed, adjusting is required before printing. Make sure to turn the two knobs at the same time with both hands.

Go to the LCD panel and select Utilities > Filament Loading.

1

Select Load Right or Load Left depending on which side you want to load the filament. Then the extruder will start preheating.

2

When the extruder is completely heated with the alarm, put the fila-ment spool into the roof case and insert the filament into the hole in the middle of the roof case.

3

After opening the front door, check to see if the inserted fila-ment is in, then locate the ex-truder to the middle.

4

Check if the filament is built up normally in circle shape (this pro-cess goes on for about 30 sec-onds).

6

Press OK button to stop loading.

OK

7

Push the filament into the blue cap on the extruder by pressing the spring block until you feel the motor pulling in it. Wait until you see the filament coming out from the extruder nozzle.

5

To remove the filament, select Unload and remove filament when warming up is completed.
