Afinia H800 3D Printer

Installation & sETUP Guide

for Windows and Mac OS X

To install and set up your Afinia 3D Printer, please follow these steps:

For more information, please see the Afinia 3D Printer User's Manual!

(the Manual is on the installation disc)

1. Setting Up the Printer

A. Connect the power adapter to the power interface and turn on the power switch.

B. Press and hold the Initialize button until the printer beeps.

C. Thread the filament into the Filament Tube.

D. Feed the filament through the tube until about 4 inches of filament extends from the end

of the tube.

E. Put the ABS plastic spool onto the holder with the end of the filament pointing up from the

back and replace the magnetic cover.

F. Insert about 2 inches of the end of the filament into the left top side of the extruder.

G. Long-press the Filament button. The extruder will run when the nozzle is hot enough.

2. Install the Software and Drivers

Mac

Insert the Installation Disc into your Mac. Open the disc, go into the Mac folder, and double-click the Afinia Mac

Setup.pkg icon. Follow the prompts through the installation. The drivers will be added and the Afinia software will be

installed to the Applications folder.

Windows

Insert the Installation Disc in your PC. Start the Afinia 3D Printer setup.exe file and install it to the specified directory.

Follow the Installer instructions to be sure the drivers and software are in place before connecting the Afinia 3D Printer to

the PC.

For installation on Windows XP, you will need to manually specify the driver location.

•

If you are installing from the Installation Disc, select the disc as the location of the drivers.

•

If you are installing from a downloaded installer, the drivers are copied to the Program files\Afinia\Afinia 3D

Printer\Drivers folder; load the drivers from that location during the hardware installation. For more details on this

process, please see the User's Manual.

3. Load the Print Material Filament using the Software

This process will be the same on both Mac and Windows.

A. Start the Afinia 3D Software (refer to the software install procedure if you

have not already installed it), and select Initialize from the 3D Print menu.

B. After the Printer has initialized, select Maintenance from the 3D Print

menu. Click the Extrude button. After the printer nozzle has warmed up

to 260° C, the printer will beep.

C. Once the nozzle is heated, push the filament into the hole at the top of the

extruder head and hold it there with gentle pressure until the extruder

motor starts to pull it through. A thin filament of material will extrude for a

short period of time.

4. Prepare the Platform

Before you start printing, the platform must be prepared so that the model adheres to the platform enough to be printed

without the model moving. There are several options for preparing the platform, such as clipping the supplied perf board

onto the heater bed, that are discussed in the User's Manual.

Always have the print surface you will be using installed before Leveling or Auto-Leveling.

5. Level the Print Platform

To print correctly, the platform must be level. Perform the following steps:

A. Open the Maintenance dialog box from the 3D Print menu.

B. Click the To: button to bring the platform to the height shown, then slowly increment the height

until the platform is about 2mm from the nozzle, clicking To: after each increase.

C. Use the five position buttons to check that the platform at all four corners and the

center are the same distance from the nozzle.

D. Adjust the platform if the platform is not the same distance from the nozzle at all five

points until it is level. Turn the three 3 platform dials until all four corners and the

center of platform are allclose to the same distance from the nozzle.

Turning a dial clockwise will raise the platform above that dial.

6. Auto-Level the Platform

After physically leveling the platform, run the Auto-Level utility which will help accomodate an uneven print surface.

A. Select Auto Level from the 3D Print menu.

B. The printer will run through a 9-point calibration routine.

C. Once the routine is complete, click the OK button to start the Nozzle Height detection.

7. Auto-Detect Nozzle Height

The Auto-Detect Nozzle Height will run after the Auto-Level. You can also run Nozzle Height

Detect manually from the 3D Print menu.

If you are using a print surface other than the supplied Perf Boards, you must run the Nozzle

Height manually.

A. Click the OK button after the Auto-Level completes.

B. The Printer will raise the platform until the nozzle contacts the height probe.

C. The detected nozzle height will be displayed and automatically set for you.
