1. Buka bungkus Alat: Carefully remove the FC01 Filament Connector and all accessories from its packaging.
2. Sambungan Daya: Connect the provided USB power cable to the FC01 device. Plug the other end into a compatible power adapter (not included). Ensure the power adapter provides at least 5V 2A. Using a lower current adapter may prevent the device from powering on or heating correctly.
3. panempatan: Place the device on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from any flammable materials.
4. Daya mimiti Hurung: Press the power button to turn on the device. The display screen should illuminate, indicating it's ready for operation.

6. Parentah Operasi

Follow these steps to fuse your 3D printer filaments:

1. Prepare Filaments: Ensure both ends of the filaments you wish to fuse are cut cleanly and are free from debris. For optimal results, it is recommended to dry damp filaments before bonding.
2. Select Filament Type: On the FC01's display, use the control buttons to select the appropriate filament material (e.g., PLA, ABS, PETG). The device will automatically set the default melting temperature for the selected material.
3. Insert Filaments: Open the top cover of the FC01. Carefully insert one end of the first filament into the left slot and the other end of the second filament into the right slot. Ensure they are fully inserted and meet in the middle heating chamber.
4. Close and Start Fusion: Close the top cover firmly. The device will begin heating to the selected temperature. The display will show the current temperature and target temperature.
5. Tungguan Beep: The device will heat up (e.g., PLA takes about 3 minutes to reach 185°C). Once the fusion time is reached, the machine will emit a beep sound, indicating the process is complete.
6. Remove Fused Filament: After the beep, carefully open the top cover. Gently pull the newly fused filament out of the device. Allow it to cool for a few seconds before handling further.
7. Pariksa Sambungan: Check the fused joint for strength and smoothness. If necessary, trim any excess material or repeat the process if the bond is not satisfactory.

• beberesih: Ensure the device is powered off and completely cooled before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. If there is any filament residue in the heating chamber, gently remove it with a non-abrasive tool. Do not use liquids or harsh chemicals for cleaning.
• Panyimpenan: Store the FC01 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and damage.
• Teflon Tubes: Replace Teflon tubes as needed if they become worn or damaged, as they are crucial for guiding the filament smoothly.

9. Tips pamaké

• For best results, always ensure your filaments are dry before splicing. Damp filament can lead to weak or inconsistent bonds.
• While the device is compatible with a range of materials, always verify that the specific filament type (e.g., PLA, ABS, PETG, PCL, PA, PC) is supported and selected correctly for optimal fusion. The device is not designed for materials like TPU or recycled PET bottle filament.
• Experiment with different fusion times within the recommended range for your specific filament brand to find the perfect bond.
• Keep a supply of spare Teflon tubes, as they are essential for smooth filament feeding and can wear out over time.
