Filament guide for ender 3

thingiverse

Here's a simple guide to get you started with your Ender 3 or other compatible 3D printers: Step 1: Unboxing and Setup Unbox your Ender 3 or compatible printer and carefully remove all packaging materials. Next, attach the y-axis rod supports to the frame using the provided screws. Make sure they are securely tightened. Step 2: Leveling the Print Bed To ensure proper leveling, start by loosening the print bed's four screw. Slowly lower it down until it just touches the nozzle, then tighten all four screws evenly in a clockwise direction. This ensures a level surface for printing. Step 3: Calibrating the Z-Axis For precise Z-axis calibration, move the X and Y axes away from the print head by lifting the Z-axis nut with a wrench. Loosen the M8 screw on top of the extruder. Insert an object of known height into the nozzle, then tighten the M8 screw until it stops. Step 4: Printing Your First Object Insert your microSD card containing the G-code file for your first print into the printer's slot. Select the correct printer settings and firmware in the control software, such as Cura or Repetier-Host. Once connected, click "Print" to start printing your object. Step 5: Maintaining Your Printer Regularly check the printer's belts for any signs of wear or damage. Lubricate all moving parts with silicone spray oil. Clean the print bed and extruder regularly using a soft brush and mild soap solution. By following these steps, you'll be able to successfully set up your Ender 3 or compatible printer and start printing high-quality objects right away.
