2. تعليمات السلامة

التزم دائمًا بإرشادات السلامة التالية لمنع الإصابة أو تلف الطابعة:

• مزود الطاقة: Use only the specified power adapter. Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded.
• بيئة التشغيل: Operate the printer in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials, direct sunlight, and excessive humidity. Maintain a stable room temperature.
• الأسطح الساخنة: The print nozzle and print bed can reach high temperatures. Avoid touching these components during operation or immediately after use. Allow them to cool down completely before handling.
• أجزاء متحركة: Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving parts during operation to prevent entanglement.
• Filament Handling: Store filament in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect print quality.
• الأطفال والحيوانات الأليفة: Keep the printer out of reach of children and pets. Adult supervision is required if children are present.
• إغلاق طارئ: Familiarize yourself with the location of the power switch for quick shutdown in case of an emergency.

6. Leveling the Print Bed: The Artillery Hornet features a tempered glass print bed. While often pre-leveled, it's crucial to verify and adjust if necessary for optimal first layer adhesion.
   • قم بتشغيل الطابعة.
   • Navigate to the "Leveling" or "Prepare" menu on the LCD screen.
   • Move the nozzle to each corner of the print bed and adjust the leveling knobs underneath the bed until a piece of paper (standard printer paper) can slide with slight friction between the nozzle and the bed.
   • Repeat for all four corners and the center until consistent.

5.1. Software Installation (Slicer)

To prepare 3D models for printing, you will need a slicer software. Popular options include Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Simplify3D. An SD card or USB drive with a recommended slicer profile might be included with your printer. Install the software on your computer and configure it for the Artillery Hornet.

• Install the slicer software from the provided SD card or download the latest version online.
• Add a new printer and select "Artillery Hornet" if available, or configure a custom FDM printer with the following build volume: 220 × 220 × 250 ملم.
• Import the recommended printer profile (if provided) or configure basic settings like nozzle diameter (0.4mm), filament diameter (1.75mm), and retraction settings.

5.2. تحميل الفتيل

Follow these steps to load filament into your printer:

1. ضع بكرة الخيط على حامل الخيط.
2. Preheat the nozzle to the recommended temperature for your filament type (e.g., 200-210°C for PLA). You can do this via the printer's LCD menu (Prepare > Preheat PLA/ABS).
3. أدخل الخيط في فتحة إدخال الطابعة ثلاثية الأبعاد.
4. Gently push the filament until it engages with the extruder gears.
5. Use the "Extrude" or "Load Filament" option from the printer's menu to feed the filament through the hotend until molten plastic comes out of the nozzle. This purges any old filament and ensures a smooth flow.

5.3. بدء الطباعة

Once your model is sliced and filament is loaded, you can start printing:

1. Save the sliced G-code file to an SD card or USB drive.
2. Insert the SD card/USB drive into the printer's slot.
3. Navigate to the "Print from SD" or "Print" menu on the LCD screen.
4. Select your G-code file من القائمة.
5. The printer will begin heating the bed and nozzle, then start the print. Monitor the first layer to ensure proper adhesion.

6. الصيانة

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Artillery Hornet 3D Printer:

• تنظيف سطح الطباعة: After each print, allow the bed to cool and carefully remove the printed object. Clean the glass bed with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue, ensuring good adhesion for future prints.
• تنظيف الفوهة: Periodically clean the exterior of the nozzle with a brass brush to remove any accumulated plastic. If the nozzle is clogged, use the provided cleaning needle to clear the obstruction while the nozzle is hot.
• تشحيم الأجزاء المتحركة: Apply a small amount of lithium grease or similar lubricant to the Z-axis lead screw and smooth rods every few months to ensure smooth movement.
• فحص الأحزمة: Ensure the X and Y axis belts are properly tensioned. They should be taut but not overly tight. Adjust if necessary.
• فحص الكابلات: Regularly check all cables for wear, fraying, or loose connections.
• تحديثات البرامج الثابتة: Check the official Artillery website for any available firmware updates. Follow the instructions carefully if updating.
