Maintenance
When the printing module has been moved, we recommend that you use z-offset. This function will help you to adjust the printing distance between the print bed and the extruder module.
- Please unload the filament and clean the nozzle before using z-offset.
- Click [DASHBOARD] > [SetUp] > [Z offset] to start z-offset adjustment.
- Adjust Z up or Z down to find the proper distance.
NOTE:
• This product is factory tested and adjusted, we suggest you note the default value for z-offset before your adjustment.
• Suggested distance between nozzle and print bed(including bed tape) is 0.3mm.
In order to maintain a good printing quality, it is recommended that you clean the nozzle after every 25 hours of printing. Please use the Clean Nozzle function in the software.
- Switch on the power and click [DASHBOARD] > [Extruder] > [Clean Nozzle].
- Please clamp the nozzle cleaning wire with needle-nosed pliers to insert it into the head of the nozzle carefully for cleaning.
- Lightly press the spring around the feed hole and remove the filament guide tube (don’t need to remove the heating cable at the side)
- Insert the Feeding Path Cleaning Pin into the feeding path all the way down and “floss” the inside of the nozzle to pull the residue out.
- After cleaning the feeding path, reinstall the filament guide tube and extruder module.
Tool:
Nozzle Cleaning Wire
Feeding Path Cleaning Pin
Print bed level will affect the 3D printing quality, XYZprinting’s 3D Printer has been adjusted to the best condition before leaving the factory. After long periods of use, the print bed level may change. If you have print adhesion problems, you may need to re-level the print bed.
- Switch on the power and activate the Calibrate function in XYZmaker.
- Please follow the on-screen instructions.
After long periods of use, the automatic feed system may inconsistently extrude filament, due to a buildup of residual plastic in the feed module. The printer filament feed module should be cleaned if this happens or after cleaning the nozzle.
- Open the feed module cover
- Clean the gears by using a gear cleaning brush.
Tool:
Cleaning Brush
NOTE: Please switch off the power before cleaning the filament feed module.
- Use two fingers press the Feeder on the Feed module.
- Pull out the guide tube.
*If you have just unboxed the da Vinci nano/ nano w, the sensor chip should already be loaded.
- Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the securing screws of the filament spool ring.
- Separate the spool ring from both sides of the spool.
- Take out the filament spool and the sensor chip.
- Install the sensor chip. Note the orientation of the sensor chip on the spool ring.
- Feed both parts of the spool ring through the center hole of the spool and assemble them together.
- Use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten and secure the spool ring to complete the installation.
SW Functions
Interface Introduction
Clean Nozzle
Once this function is selected, the nozzle will heat up automatically and move the nozzle to a proper location where you can easily clear away all residual plastic on the nozzle.
Info
The extruder module information, including Temperature, Nozzle Diameter, Total Print Time, and Serial Number.
Load Filament
Please follow the on-screen instructions.
The extruder module will automatically move to the working position. The nozzle will then heat up and begin the filament loading process. After this is complete, verify that plastic has been extruded. If not, please repeat the filament loading process.
Unload Filament
Please follow the on-screen instructions.
The printing module will automatically move to the working position. The nozzle will then heat up and begin the filament unloading process.
Info
Information related to filament use.
Jog Mode
Manually adjust the movement of X/Y/Z Axis for printer maintenance.
NOTE:
1. First click on Home Axes. The extruder module will be returned to the initial axis position.
2. You may manually enter the adjustment value: Range: 1 to 150; step: 1 mm
Calibrate
Please follow the on-screen instructions.
Print bed calibration may be implemented before the printing process.
Move the extruder module to the lower left corner of the printing area. Please refer to the calibrate instructions provided by the software.
Z-Offset
Z-Offset function will help you to adjust the printing distance between the print bed and extruder module.
Each adjustment has a step of 0.05 mm.
Others
Automatic horizontal calibration
Automatic horizontal calibration may either be ON or OFF. Default: ON.
The printer would automatically implement horizontal calibration and compensation accordingly.
Printing speed will be improved if automatic horizontal calibration has been switched to OFF. However, this may affect printing quality.
Buzzer
Buzzer may either be ON or OFF. Default: ON.
When the buzzer is turned on, the printer will output an audible signal when a button is pressed, receiving data, print job is finished, or issue is detected.
Restore Default
Click Restore Default to reset to default setting.
Firmware upgrade
Please upgrade the latest firmware version for the best printing quality of the printer.
Info
Information related to printer setting.
WiFi Setup
WiFi Setup- da Vinci nano w ONLY:
1. The network printing function is only available when the printer and the computer are both connected to the same wireless network.
2. Before connecting the printer, your wireless network settings need to be adjusted. For more information, refer to the instruction manual of your wireless router.
3. The wireless network’s channel width needs to be set to 20 MHz for the printer to connect to it wirelessly. Refer to the vendor instruction manual for more information.
4. The nano w supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security encryption standards. Wireless pass word information will be requested when setting up the printer connection.
Connect the printer to your computer with the USB cable, open “XYZmaker” and turn on the printer.
Click the “File” button on the upper left corner on the screen, then click [Print] < [da Vinci Printer Plugin] to open printer operating dashboard.
Select the connected 3D Printer on Dashboard page.
Select the [SetUp] > [Wireless] to open the WiFi connection settings.
In the [WiFi setting] window, please follow the onscreen instruction to key in the related information to complete wireless connecting setup.
Once the connection method has been changed from USB to WiFi, you can unplug the USB cable and continue with the printing process.
If you need to stop or change the wireless setting, please click [Connect to new network / Disconnect].
NOTE:
• Name the printer and wireless network with the alphanumeric characters only.
• If no connection is detected within 90 seconds, the printer will time-out. If this is the case, check that the
configuration process is correct and try again.
• Confirm your wireless network’s security key on the router’s wireless settings page.
• The recommended wireless connection distance between your printer and the wireless networking device needs to
be within 10 meters. The connection quality, will depend on the power of your networking device, and the
environment you are connecting the two devices in. For more information, please refer to your networking device’s instruction manual.
