Chapter 6 Q&A

Q1. How to unclog the nozzle? Q2. How to replace the nozzle? Buckle Method1: Method2: Method3: Tap [Preheat], heat up the nozzle to the set temperature. Once completing heating, press the filament guide tube joint and pull out the filament guide tube. Check to see whether the filament is bent or filament’s cross-section is smooth. If not, cut it smooth, install the guide tube and filament back. Tap [Load]. If method 1 does not work out, use an unclogging pin tool to unclog filament. If method 1&2 do not work out, please replace the nozzle. Press the left and right clips and pull out the nozzle. Push in the filament through the filament intake manually, making it long enough to be cut off; Rotate the filament spool anti-clockwise manually, making filament retreat a little; Press the left and right clips, install the new nozzle. Make sure nozzle slot and bottom of extruder are on the same level. Tap [Prepare] -- [Load], filament coming out of the new nozzle indicates successful replacement. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Power off before replacing nozzle! No power on operation! Note 21

Q3. Do we need to calibrate the extruder after replacing nozzle?

Yes, small errors may occur because of the calibration. To keep best printing quality, you need to calibrate it again. Q4. What can I do if no filament comes out of the extruder after I choose the file and the extruder moves normally? Q5. How to solve if the distance between nozzle and platform is too large(far away) or too small(that they collide)? Tap[Maintain]--[Calibration]; The printer starts pre-calibrating. The first point is to calibrate the initial distance between the extruder and the platform (see Z-axis deviation value). Click the up and down arrows to adjust the Z-axis deviation value. With the help of the leveling card, you can feel if there is any slight resistance to decide the appropriate distance. When the extruder is still unable to properly print a large size model after calibration, or when the model fails to be printed due to uneven platforms, please continue using this function. The machine will calibrate the remaining 8 points. After calibration is completed, the software will automatically calculate a compensation mean to compensate. When each point is being calibrated, the user can also adjust the Z-axis deviation by clicking the up and down arrows. After compensation is completed, the value is memorized and the extruder goes back to zero. 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. Check the filament guide tube, make sure the filament has been pushed into the extruder; if not, please tap [Load] till filament comes out; check whether the extruder is clogged, if so, please refer to Q1. Whether the extruder assembly is in place is judged as follows: 1.When installed, the extruder must be pushed to the end; 2.Check whether the installation is in place: ①Touch the black buckle and the lower shell of the white extruder, make sure no hollows are felt; ②Observe to make sure there is no large gap in the joint of the black buckle and the lower shell of the white extruder. Improperly installed with seam Properly installed with no seam 22

Q12. How to solve edge warping and weak adhesion?

Heating up the platform can increase adhesion between platform and model. Adding raft to model when slicing in FlashPrint. Apply solid glue to platform before printing. Use extruder calibration in expert mode or leveling calibration to reduce the distance between the nozzle and the platform. Make sure the platform is flat. Complete 9-point leveling suggested. Apply extruder calibration to reduce the gap. Method1: Method2: Method3: Method4: Method5: Method6: Q6. Can we use other brand filament which is not produced by Flashforge? Q7. Is Adventurer 4 compatible with all kinds of AC power input? Adventurer 4 is equipped with a built-in 24V/13.3A power supplier, suitable for 100V-240V input voltage. Q8. Is Adventurer 4 capable of turning itself off automatically after printing job is finished? No . Q9. What kinds of file formats does Adventurer 4 support? Q10. Does Adventurer 4 support other cloud platforms besides FlashCloud? Yes, Adventurer 4 interface is open up to all other cloud platforms. Input: 3MF/STL/OBJ/FPP/BMP/PNG/JPG/JPEG Files. Output: GX/G files. Q11. Is the ABS printing safe? ABS filament will give off certain poisonous gas when heated up, please put the printer in well-ventilated condition when printing ABS. We suggest using non-toxic PLA filament when printer is near children. Adventurer 4 supports ABS, PLA, PC, PETG, PLA-CF, PETG-CF, etc., which have different ingredients. Adventurer 4 tests out default settings like temperature and filament output to ensure the best printing quality. Other brands of filaments can be used with the parameters adjusted. Because the required temperature between different materials is slightly different, it is recommended to clean the previous filaments before using new filaments, otherwise it is easy to cause extruder blockage. 23

Q14. After replacing the nozzle, printer status indicates that extruder temperature

is 300℃, and the fan is also working. Why is this happening? Power off when replacing the nozzle. Q15. The extruder makes out chug noise and no filament comes out of the extruder, what is the problem and how to solve? Load: only load filament into the extruder; Change:first unloading and then loading filament, from fast to slow; Manual: slow loading. Q16. What is the difference between filament loading, filament replacement and manual mode? Calibrate the printer again or finish Homing again before giving it another go. Q17. Adventurer 4 starts printing when the distance between extruder and build plate is still large, causing filament unable to stick to plate. USB driver file is not correct. Adventurer 4 only supports FAT32 file system, please format USB driver into FAT32 file system. Q18. Printing files cannot be found when using USB driver? Note: Note that the temperature setting in the slicer file might not match the highest temperature of the replaced nozzle. Errors: Errors in temperature displaying indicate that the new nozzle is not properly installed, and the extruder temperature cannot be read by the sensor. Please plug out and install the extruder again, make sure that the extruder is pushed to the end, and the buckle and bottom of extruder are on the same level. Refer to Q2. Filament has not loaded into extruder, which is most likely because the extruder is clogged or filament guide tube is not properly installed. Check the guide tube joint first, if it’s normal, refer to Q1 for resolution. it is recommended to use manual mode during testing the nozzle unloading filaments. Not recommended for loading filaments. If it is used, please select the maximum length. Q13. Is it a must to add a raft before printing the model? Not necessarily. More filaments come out of the nozzle when printing the raft, higher success rate there will be. When the plate is heated, the adhesion between the model and the platform increases, which makes the model adhere to the platform well when printing, and also increases the success rate. 24

Q19. How to connect to Polar Cloud?

Pictures can contain up to 10 models, while videos 20 models. The printer adopts fast-slow loading, make sure there is no remaining filament in the guide tube. Q23.

支持,冒险家4的开放性接口支持其他云平台。 输入:3MF/STL/OBJ/FPP/BMP/PNG/JPG/JPEG 文件 输出:GX/G文件 Q11. 打印ABS 材料安全吗? ABS在加热过程中会释放有毒气体,打印时或者打印后可开启HEPA的空气过滤器,但还是建议置放于 开阔空气流通的环境下打印。儿童活动场所建议打印PLA无毒材料。 点击维护--进行喷头校准; 机器开始预校准,第一个点为校准喷头与平台间的初始距离(见Z轴偏差值),点击上下箭 头可调节Z轴偏差值;借助调平卡来回抽动感觉是否有略微的阻力,如有,即为合适距离。 当喷头校准后仍无法较好的打印大面积模型,或者打印模型由于平台不平而导致失败时,请 继续使用该功能,机器会校准其余8点,校准完成后,软件将会自动计算一个补偿均值进行 补偿;校准每个点时,用户也可自己通过点击上下箭头来调节Z轴偏差值;补偿完成后,记 忆数值,喷头回零。 冒险家4支持ABS、PLA、PC、PETG、PLA-CF、PETG-CF等材料,各品牌材料配方略有不同, 冒险家4根据闪铸科技ABS、PLA、PC、PETG、PLA-CF、PETG-CF等材料特性,调试确定最佳 温度、出丝量等默认参数值,确保模型打印质量。其他品牌丝料可以使用但需要经过参数调 整,由于不同材料温度差异略有区别,更换耗材时建议将前一次耗材清理完再使用新耗材,否 则容易引起喷头堵塞。 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 观察导丝管,确认丝料是否已进入喷头,若无,请再点击进丝按钮,直至丝料从喷头中吐 出; 查看喷头是否堵头,若是,解决方案请查看Q1。 47

Q12. 打印模型发生翘边或粘不牢现象怎么办? Q13. 打印模型是必须要增加底板吗? Q14. 更换完喷嘴后的注意事项及更换后状态显示喷头温度300℃,并且喷头上的风扇转是怎么 回事? 更换喷嘴时请关闭电源。 不一定,打印底板时出丝量较多,打印成功率较高,在底板加热的条件下,模型与平台板的粘 附性增加,使得模型打印时能很好的粘附在平台上,同样也能增加打印成功率。 Q15. 进丝机构发出突突的响声,并且喷头一直不出丝怎么办? 进丝功能:只包含将丝料送入喷头; 换丝功能:包含进丝与退丝两个功能,先退丝后进丝。先快速送丝,后慢速送丝; 手动功能:采用慢速进丝。 Q16. 进丝、换丝和手动有什么区别? 请重新校准或者重新回零再打印。 Q17. 选择文件开始打印时,喷头下降到仍与平台有一定悬空距离处就开始打印,导致丝料无 法黏在底板上怎么办? U盘格式不正确,冒险家4只支持FAT32格式的文件系统,请将U盘格式化成FAT32格式。 Q18. 插入U盘,找不到打印文件,并且全为文件夹怎么办? 增加平台温度可有效缓解此问题,增加平台与模型的粘附力。 模型切片时选择底板,可有效缓解此问题。 涂抹胶水。 喷嘴与平台的间隙过大,可相应减小间隙,使用喷头校准专家模式或调平校准功能进 行调整。 确认平台是否放平。可使用调平校准功能,建议执行完全流程的9点调平。 使用喷头校准功能减小间隙。 注意事项: 注意切片文件中的温度设置,可能会和切换后的喷嘴最高温度不匹配。 异常情况: 温度显示异常说明喷头传感器没有被读取到,说明喷嘴安装不到位,请重新插拔安装喷头,并 将喷头推到底,确保卡扣处与喷头下方齐平。具体可查看Q2。 进丝机构发出突突的响声,说明丝料无法进入到喷头中,极大可能喷头堵头或导丝管位置安装 不到位。请首先按下导丝管接头检查导丝管连接是否正常。若正常请再参照问题Q1。 手动功能建议在测试喷嘴是否能出丝时使用,不建议当进丝功能使用。如果 当进丝功能使用,请选择最高长度。 方案1: 方案2: 方案3: 方案4: 方案5: 方案6: 注意事项 注意事项 48

Q19. 如何连接Polar云? 图片能保持10个模型, 视频能保存20个。 机器采用快慢进丝,所以请确保进丝时导丝管中没有剩余丝料。 Q23. 进丝时齿轮异响? 打开Polar云网址,登陆账号密码。https://polar3d.com; 打开右上角云账户个人信息,往下翻到底查看PIN码; 打开打印机Polar云界面,输入账号和PIN码; 打开Polar云开关,连接Polar云。 进入打印详情界面调整参数,注意调整后可能会延时生效或者调整不合理会影响打印质量,请 慎重设置。 1. 2. 3. 4.
