INFO Power switch, power cord connector and fuse panel. 1. Unbox the printer - using the included instructions Be careful, the printer is heavy.. 2. Let the printer warm up to room temperature This is important — especially in cold weather. In winter, it may take a long time, don’t rush it. While waiting unbox and inspect everything — the power cord, the USB cord, filament spool holder, sample filament roll. WARNING If the printer does

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 31 Printing with Dual Extruder Material When printing with your dual extruder, you need to make sure that the materials you are printing can print at the same temperature. The Mass Portal dual extruder only uses one nozzle, so will be operating a one temperature. You can print with two dierent colors, standard material with support material, or even dierent materials if they use similar temperatures (Such as ABS and HIPS). Preparing Material for printing When preparing the printer to print, using the dual extrusion capabilities, you need to make sure that the material is properly aligned at the beginning of the print. When inserting t

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 16 Chamber Ventilation The chamber ventilation system has been created for safe, high quality printing. With safety as the system’s main purpose, the chamber ventilation will make your printing experience worry free. Safety When printing using the chamber ventilation system, you can always leave the windows and door on the printer. This will help prevent any foreign objects from going into the printing area. Also it will help the printer to be safe around any age group as children will not be able to put their hands in the printing chamber while the printer is in operation. The fans also include filters to clean any fumes from the print chamber. Studies have shown that s

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 7 WELCOME  CONTINUED Experimenting Once you start printing, you will want to tweak this or that. Of course, 3D printing is all about experimentation and going where no one has gone before, but the possibilities can be intimidating at first. This manual is NOT designed to cover all possible printing situations, but rather to help you start along the path. Discussing every last software setting is beyond the scope of this manual as well — the best places for that are online forums, local FabLabs or 3D printing meet-ups. Printing Material — 1,75mm filament Mass

Let it cool down for a while after printing Wait until the lights below print bed are yellow or white. You can also see the temperatures on the screen. You can remove the filament while the print head is still hot. 8. Remove the print from the print bed Use the supplied tool to gently remove the object. TIP If you ever want to return to the main screen press the Mass Portal logo in the top right corner of the screen. TIP To remove or change the filament, the print head must be heated or s

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 15 Print Bed Leveling / Calibration The print bed on Mass Portal printers is held in place with three thumbscrews. The slant and height of the print bed can be adjusted by turning the thumbscrews. As a general rule, the print bed should not be slanted — the thumbscrews are used to keep it level. Normally the thumbscrews would not need adjusting by more than 1mm or 2mm at max. Mass Portal printers have a bulit in sensor, that can measure and adjust to the print bed accordingly. This is done to ensure that first layer of prints is correctly printed — that the nozzle is not too high (material not sticking to the print

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 10 My First Print The printer comes with G-codes already loaded to the internal memory, so you can print a test print without connecting to a computer. 1. Prepare the printer Make sure there are no objects on the print bed. You may keep the door closed or open for the first test print. As the printer is shipped with PLA, the side walls should be removed from the printer. 2. Place the sample filament spool on the holder a. Unbox the bundled filament b. Place the spool on the holder on the backside of the printer. 3. Prepare the printb

• 12 Printing process overview Mass Portal® 3D printers use process called Fused Filament Fabrication or FFF — printing objects out of melted plastic layer by layer. How it works Thermoplastic printing material (the filament) is melted in the 3D printers printing head, and pushed through a nozzle. This process is called extrusion. The nozzle moves according to the g

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 36 Printing Materials Overview Each material has dierent properties that make it useful for dierent tasks. For example, nylon is both strong and non- reactive to many substances. Other plastics can have excellent optical clarity or can be easy to work with. PLA is considered the default 3D printing material for general purpose use, although ABS has been a preferred choice for prototyping and for usable printed parts. PLA PLA (Poly-lactic acid) is a bio-plastic material that has become the de-facto standard of 3D printing materials. It is bio-degradable, mostly easy to print, and has great aest

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 40 Cleaning the extruder drive gear - without removing drive gear The extruder is located inside the printer chamber, upper left corner. The design of the extruder allows cleaning of the drive gear without disassembling it. The drive gear teeth can sometimes become filled with plastic parts from filament, when the print head has been clogged and the drive gear has “dug” into the filament. To clean the extruder 1. Remove the filament from the printer 2. Use hard brush or plastic tip to remove any stuck plastic from the drive gear. 3. When the area you are cle

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 13 PRINTING PROCESS OVERVIEW  CONTINUED STL or OBJ files G-code is usually generated from 3D models, that are saved in the STL or OBJ format. Most 3D modelling software today can export to these formats, and printable files on the Internet are also usually found in these formats. 3D models You can generally print 3 kinds of models: • Printable 3D models downloaded from the Internet — either free or commercial • Objects, that are scanned on a 3D scanner and prepared for 3D prin

• 14 Print Bed Coating and Heating Mass Portal printers are equipped with a glass print bed. Although you can print directly to the glass surface, some materials work better on a dierent coating. Work better means the material will adhere firmly or “stick” to the print bed while printing, but still come o easily after printing. Even surface Glass is the most reasonable choice for

• Mass Portal Pharaoh XD Series, 42 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Support contact Technical support is available via e-mail [email protected] Extrusion problems No or not enough plastic is released from nozzle. Usually the most common reason that nozzle gets clogged is because of inappropriate print settings such as print speed, retraction speed and distance, temperature etc.. Problem: Filament is caught or ended. Solution: Check the filament spool and also watch if the filament isn’t twisted before extruder. Problem: Print head isn’t heated up properly. Solution: Make sure that the temperature is set right for particular material. If the heater or thermocouple wires are decou
