2. Power Connection

Connect the power cord to the printer and then to a power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting. Turn the printer ON after all connections are secure.

3. Filament Loading

The da Vinci Mini Wireless 3D Printer features an auto-loading filament system. Insert the filament into the designated slot. The printer will automatically detect and load the filament. Note: Use only XYZprinting 600G filament for optimal performance and compatibility.

4. Software Installation and Connectivity

Install the XYZprint software on your computer. The printer supports wireless connectivity, allowing you to send print jobs remotely. Follow the on-screen instructions within the software to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network.

Operating Instructions

1. Preparing a 3D Model

Use the XYZprint software to load or create your 3D models. The software allows for basic adjustments such as sizing. You can also access a library of free models online.

2. Print Settings

Before printing, configure the print settings in the XYZprint software. Key settings include:

• Material: Select the type of filament being used (e.g., PLA, Tough PLA, PETG).
• Nozzle Temperature: Suggested setting for PLA/Tough PLA/PETG is 245°C. The nozzle heats up in approximately 1 minute.
• Print Resolution: The printer offers a consistent 200 micron printing resolution.

3. Starting a Print

Once your model is prepared and settings are configured, initiate the print from the XYZprint software. The printer features auto-calibration for the print bed, ensuring proper leveling before printing begins.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Print Bed

Regularly clean the print bed to ensure optimal adhesion for new prints. Use a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the surface. Replace bed tape as needed.

2. Extruder Maintenance

The quick-release extruder allows for easy removal and cleaning. Use the provided cleaning brush and feeding path cleaning wire to clear any filament residue or clogs. Refer to the included quick guide for detailed instructions on extruder removal and cleaning.

3. Filament Storage

Store filament in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect print quality. Ensure the filament is properly sealed when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Filament Not Extruding: Check for clogs in the extruder. Clean the nozzle and feeding path. Ensure filament is loaded correctly.
• Poor Print Adhesion: Clean the print bed. Apply new bed tape if necessary. Verify print bed leveling (auto-calibration should handle this, but manual check may be needed if issues persist).
• Print Quality Issues (e.g., stringing, layer shifting): Adjust print settings in the software, such as temperature, print speed, and retraction settings. Ensure filament is dry and properly stored.
• "Cartridge cannot be recognized" Error: This error indicates an issue with the filament cartridge's recognition. Ensure you are using genuine XYZprinting filament. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
