Picture 3.41
10)Select "Calibration" into the heating printer bed and calibration. The platform
calibration function is mainly to adjust the space between the platform and nozzle
29
by rotating the screws on the platform, so as to achieve a good printing effect. The
calibration interface platform has three options: Next, Previous and Confirm. Select
the "Next" nozzle will move to the next set point; "Previous" to return to the previous
set point; choose "Confirm", will default the platform calibration is completed, the
system reset. This is shown in Picture 3.42and 3.43:
picture 3.42
Picture 3.43
After you have correctly calibrated your nozzle height,check that the nozzle is at
the same distance at all four corners of the print platform and center of the print
platform. If it is not, you may need to adjust the platform until it is level with the
30
nozzle at all 4 corners and center.There are 4 screw and 4 spring washers under
the platform .
Loosen a screw and the related corner of platform will rise. Tighten,or loosen,the
screws until you have the same gap between the nozzle and the platform at all four
corners of platform.
An easy way to check the distance between the nozzle and platform is to fold a
piece of paper in two (Which will make it about 0.2mm thick)and use that as a
spacer to gauge the distance between the nozzle and platform.
Note: when first time printing, make sure finish platform calibration!
11)If the system is in English, choose "Chinese", the system will automatically
switch to the Chinese. If the system is in Chinese, choose "English", the system will
automatically switch to the English. Language switching will be saved in the
system.
12)Select "nozzle temperature" or "bed temperature" will be used to set the head
or printer bed target temperature, modify the number by using the direction keys.
After setting, the target temperature will be saved in the system until the next
setting. Because of the different target temperature corresponding to the different
ABS material, we recommend when you use the new material, please adjust the
target nozzle temperature in accordance with the actual effect. Nozzle temperature
adjustment is shown in picture 3.46.

There are two kinds of work mode: 1. Online print, 2. Off-line print by SD card
2)Clink the icon in the tool bar, connect the printer, the following prompt
3)After connection, the icon in the tool bar comes high bright ;
4)Clink the icon in the tool bar, select the STL file into the software;
5)When the model come out in the view, operate by “move”、 “rotate”、
“zoom”in the model adjustment module, adjust the model into a reasonable
size, position and angle, we can view the model from different visual angle through
33
“file” menu to save the model. Then clink the icon , generate executable file.
We can take this process by using the default parameters or selecting the related
parameters;
7)After generating code, if printer is connected, select
the LCD screen will show the printer is online printing. During the printing, you can

For example, if you choose you can save the generated executable
file in the SD card, note: so far this type of Myriwell 3d printer only support FAT32
file system, you can set the SD card into FAT32 file system by formatting;
3)After executable file is generated in the SD card, you can insert the SD card
to printer and select off-line printing to work.
Prompt: Platform preheating is one of key using 3D printer successfully
If the temperature is set too low, may lead to no enough adhesion force
between the bottom of model and printing bed, the printing model will tilt
deformation. The best way to prevent this phenomenon is: keep the printing bed
fully preheated, it means to do not start printing until the temperature of printing bed
reach the setted temperature (ABS:110 ℃,PLA:60 ℃) as shown in the software.
The operation step of model printing is same as print testing:
After printing, please clean printing bed, so as not to affect the next printing.
You can remove some parts which is difficult to remove by the scraper in the tool
box. Printing bed is the heated platform, therefore do not touch the platform, in
order to avoid burns.

Maintainance
RL200A does not need special maintenance, but it needs to paint the oil
regularly on the principal axis and the screw rod to prevent premature aging of the
moving parts.
The following listed matter is that we should note and maintain:
Several times use later of printers, the print head will clog, you can use a clean,
soft, damp cloth to clean the external three-dimensional printer.
Attention: Do not use ammonia-based cleaners to clean the printer or around
the printer.
During the 3D printing process, some elements in the supplies, dust particles
can accumulate inside the printer or print head. With the passage of time, the
accumulation of material will cause print quality problems. Like print head clogging
and no silk, silk Volume tumor. Printer you want to correct and avoid such problems,
you can clean the print head and printer floor area.
Clean the print head generally with tweezers to remove impurities. As shown
below.
Picture 6.1
If the nozzle clogged, we need to remove and clean the print head, the steps
are as follows:
1) Adjust the printer bed to the lowest position, and select "loading filament",
waiting for heating up to the setted temperature and buzzer. Extrude the filament
by.

Chapter 6: Maintenance
Picture 6.2
2) If we have diameter auger bit with diameter 0.3mm or the needle with
diameter 0.3mm.
The flat belt is loose if you find belt bending the head or both sides of RL200A.
Phenomena of the belt loose such as out of step, bounce, or print less the object
within the shell surface.
In addition, when the motor is selected the direction , there will be a certain
amount of exercise is stored , then in the opposite direction with my hand , it can be
run the right move, " bounce" may result in part of the structure of the print object
inaccurate.
In the course of work sounds very loud noise and vibrate powerful, you need to
add oil to the rail. X, Y two axes rely on precision rails of 10mm diameter and Z-axis
screw to ensure a smooth line movement without any swing. Add oil to reduce
friction, reduce wear and tear caused by long-term exercise.
The method: choose a clean cloth and painted lubricant on the rail and screw, then
screw the lubricant on screw mandrel smoothly.

Tips: Sometimes curling phenomenon will appear when pint the large model.
This is caused by the printing platform surface uneven preheat. Before printing a
large model, the warm-up is essential. In addition, the smaller the print model, the
less curly part prone to appear. If possible, avoid printing large models as much
as possible.
