1 Install the software
Open the disc, find install folder or download printer installed file
on our official website: http:// www. Come3d.com/download to fulfill
the following steps accordingly.

1.1 Install Java


Without installing this file, you can not run 3D printer program
ReplicatorG. Some of the users computer already installed software
is no need to install it again.

1.2 Install Python (! Must be installed to the


default path)
Python is a programming language, it can convert your 3D model
into the print path.

1.3 Installing Python acceleration components


Can speed up the running speed of the python program

1.4 Extracting ReplicatorG (simply extract is no


need to install)
ReplicatorG is a computer program, it can pretreat digital files to be
printed, control and test your Come3D printer.

2 Connecting the 3D printer


2.1 Plug in the power cord and turn on the power switch.

2.2 Plug in the USB cable, and connect to the computer.

The number displayed on your computer may be different, please remember


the number behind COM figure. It will be used in 4.2 steps.

3.2 Right-click the USB port with a sense of Han No.> Update Driver
Software> Browse my computer for driver software
> Find ReplicatorG file folder> Open the drivers folder> select FTDI USB
Drivers folder
Click OK to install a good driver.
3.3 Repeat step 3.2, install the relevant USB driver.

4 Setting the machine type

4.1 Open 1.4 Step unpacked good ReplicatorG


The Folder, open ReplicatorG.exe file.

4.2 Click> machines> connect (serial)


> Select and consistent step 3.1 port.

4.3 Click> machine> machine type (driver)>
Select Thingomatic w / HBP and Stepstruder MK7

4.4 Click> to connect


to the machine

4.5 After a successful connection,


here turns green, Is connected.

6
5 Load media (If the media is loaded, skip this step)

Before loading material, it is necessary


to complete the following: 5.1 Click
open the Control Panel.

230

5.2 nozzle target temperature is set to


230 , And press Enter to confirm.

7
5.3 When the nozzle temperature reaches
230, insert the material into the right
side of the feed hole, and click forward.

230

5.4 Click Forward, supplies will


automatically enter.

When some of the material inserted for a short distance, it will be


blocked. In order to make the material successfully enter the
heating chamber, set the motor speed to 3, duration to 10s, and
then click forward, the motor will begin to run. Use some
power to push the material until you feel it seized by wirewheel,
you can let it go. After a few seconds, you can see filaments will be
automatically spited out from nozzles. Once you see the filaments,
you can begin the next step.

6.2 Click move, a toolbar will pop up, you can move the model
inside. Click the center and place it on the platform, that can
ensure the model will be printed in the correct position.

6.3 Click "proportion" in the toolbar, you can adjust the model scale.

6.4 Click start building the model
in the machine

6.5 The model contains overhanging


portions of select Exterior support
(external support)

6.6 Click Generate G code

6.7 After generation, the nozzle will automatically warming
up. During 2-3 minutes, when the nozzle temperature
reaches 200 to 230, Workbench reach 98-105,
printing is beginning.

6.8 If no temperature display, click Menu> File>


Parameter settings> check the temperature of the
building processing monitoring.

Quick Start Guide This is the end!

The following advanced techniques:
7 how to modify the print temperature?

7.1 use Notepad to open replicatorg extract the directory the


following path: skein_engines\skeinforge-35\skeinforge_applica-
tion\prefs\SF35-Thingomatic-HBP-Mk7\alterations
\ start.gcode

7.2 find the following code:


M104 S220 T0 (set extruder temperature)
M109 S105 T0 (set heated-build-platform temperature)

7.3 The respective meaning is:


Set the nozzle temperature of 220 .
Setting the temperature of the heated bed was 105 .

7.4 Set the S220 and S105 to the temperature you want, such as
S210 or S100 , save the document.

7.5 set of skills:


Different materials need different nozzle temperatures, typically
200-300. According to different external temperatures, the
temperature of the bed is between 100-120. If some shedding
phenomenon happened during the printing process, it means the
heating temperature of the bed is not enough, it needs to raise
the temperature slightly.

13
8 On how to calibrate the machine

8.1 Revolve the Z-axis of the screw, fall the platform slowly by hand
until the nozzle just touches the heating plate so that the nozzle is
substantially aligned with the center of the heating plate.

8.2 Select correction script on the above picture

8.3 Click the image above the build button.

14
Yes No

Select "yes."

8.4 and X-axis will move to the rightviewed from the front,
Y-axis move backwards(from the front), and when confronted with
the limit switch will be stopped respectively. When three axes
stopped, a dialogue box will be shown in the figure below.

Finish

8.5 Select Finish


The correction values have been calculated, each axis correction value
will be calculated and saved to the storage space of the circuit board,
it is no need to adjust after then.

15
9 manual modify the board parameters

Cross-section

9.1 a suitable substrate, the model will not fall off during the
printing process, the printing is complete Very easily peeled off
from the substrate, there is no need to modify the parameters
of the circuit board.

Cross-section

9.2 a flat substrate is difficult to peel from the substrate after the
printing completed, it need to reduce the Z-axis height(usually
decremented 0.2mm)

Cross-section

9.3 an excessive substrate, the model is easy to fall off during the
printing process to shift, need to increase the Z-axis height (usually
in increments of 0.2mm) Note: After you make these changes, do
not forget to re-generate G-code when you use it next time,
otherwise they would not have any change.

16
9.4 method to reduce or increase the height of the Z-axis

9.5 select motherboard parameter settings shown above, a dialog


box poped up shown below

9.6 by modifying the "Z back to


zero offset To fine-tune the height
of the nozzle. After you modify
Values, click "Submit modify.

Yes No

9.7 Selectyes, the motherboard will be restarted, the new offset value
will take effect. Note: do not forget to re-generate G-code when you use
it next time, otherwise they would not have any change.

17
10 How to add or replace materials

10.1 Cut the end of the original materials into flat with scissors and
insert new materials slowly into the feed hole after the old material
moving down.

11 How to replace the nozzle

11.1 Set the temperature in the software to 220-230. When material


melted, use a wrench to turn the old nozzle unscrewed, then tighten
the new nozzle clockwise.

18
12 Remove troubles of the blocked material

! NOTE: Please cut off the power and unplug the USB plug.
Then move the nozzle following below steps.

12.1 Remove the two screws, fan and heatsink by


a hex wrench

12.2 Remove the two screws in above with a Phillips


screwdriver and then remove the aluminum block
box cover

12.5 Turn on the power and plug in the USB plug to


connect the printer, set the temperature in the software
refer to 5.2 to 220-230, and when temperature
reached and material. Once thawed, take the material
out of the box.
