4. Setup
The Monoprice Maker Select 3D Printer v2 is designed for quick assembly, requiring only 6 screws to be tightened before you can begin printing.
- Spakkjar: Neħħi l-komponenti kollha mill-imballaġġ bir-reqqa. Iċċekkja għal kwalunkwe ħsara waqt it-trasport.
- Assemblaġġ tal-qafas: Attach the gantry frame to the base unit using the provided screws. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Filament Holder Installation: Mount the filament holder onto the designated slot on the printer frame.
- Konnessjonijiet tal-kejbil: Connect the main cable from the printer unit to the control box. Connect the power cable to the control box and then to a power outlet.
- Qawwa Mixgħul: Turn on the printer using the power switch on the control box.
- Livellar tas-Sodda: Before your first print, it is crucial to level the print bed. Follow the on-screen instructions or refer to the detailed manual for the bed leveling procedure. Proper bed leveling is essential for successful prints.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
This section details the steps for preparing and initiating a 3D print.
- Tħejjija tas-Softwer: The printer is compatible with various slicing software such as Cura, Repetier-Host, or Simplify3D. Use your preferred software to convert your 3D model (e.g., STL file) into G-code, which the printer understands.
- Tagħbija tal-filament:
- Poġġi r-rukkell tal-filament fuq id-detentur tal-filament.
- Feed the filament into the extruder mechanism.
- Heat the nozzle to the appropriate temperature for your filament type (e.g., PLA: 190-220°C, ABS: 220-250°C).
- Once heated, push the filament through the extruder until it emerges from the nozzle.
- Loading Print File:
- Save your G-code file onto the provided MicroSD card.
- Insert the MicroSD card into the slot on the control box.
- Navigate the printer's menu using the control knob and LCD screen to select your print file.
- Tibda Stampar: Select 'Print' from the menu. The printer will automatically heat the bed and nozzle to the set temperatures, then begin the printing process.
- Monitoring the Print: Observe the first few layers to ensure proper adhesion to the heated build plate. The heated build plate allows for high-reliability printing of slow cooling materials, such as ABS, as well as PLA and PLA blends.
- Print Completion: Once the print is finished, allow the bed and nozzle to cool down before carefully removing the printed object.

6. Manutenzjoni
Manutenzjoni regolari tiżgura prestazzjoni ottimali u lonġevità tal-istampatur 3D tiegħek.
- Naddaf il-Pjanċa tal-Bini: After each print, clean the build plate to remove any residue. Use isopropyl alcohol for best results.
- Tindif taż-żennuna: Periodically clean the nozzle to prevent clogs. A small brass brush or needle can be used for this purpose.
- Lubrikazzjoni: Lubricate the smooth rods and lead screws with appropriate grease or oil every few weeks, depending on usage. Pay particular attention to the bearings under the print bed, as they are subject to wear.
- Issikka ċ-Ċinturini u l-Viti: Check and tighten all belts and screws regularly to maintain print accuracy and prevent vibrations.
- Aġġornamenti tal-Firmware: Check the Monoprice website for any available firmware updates to improve printer functionality.
