2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
Please read all safety instructions carefully before operating the Sovol SV04 3D Printer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the printer.
- Sigurtà Elettrika: Kun żgur li l-istampatur huwa konness ma' sokit tal-elettriku ertjat. Tħaddimx b'idejn imxarrbin jew f'temperatura għolja.amp conditions. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or assembly.
- Uċuħ sħan: The print nozzle and heated bed reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid touching these components to prevent burns. Allow components to cool before handling.
- Partijiet li jiċċaqilqu: Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving parts during operation to prevent entanglement.
- Ventilazzjoni: Operate the printer in a well-ventilated area, especially when printing with materials that may emit fumes.
- Immaniġġjar tal-Filament: Use appropriate filament for your printer. Store filament in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
- Tfal u Pets: Żomm il-printer fejn ma jintlaħaqx mit-tfal u l-annimali domestiċi. Hija meħtieġa s-superviżjoni ta' adult jekk ikun hemm tfal preżenti.

5. Setup Inizjali
Before your first print, perform the following initial setup steps.
5.1. Aġġornament tal-Firmware
It is highly recommended to download and install the latest firmware for the SV04 from the official Sovol website. This ensures you have the most up-to-date features and bug fixes.
5.2. Automatic Bed Leveling
The SV04 is equipped with an automatic bed leveling sensor to ensure optimal nozzle-to-bed distance across the entire print surface.
- Navigate to the 'Leveling' menu on the LCD touchscreen.
- Select 'Auto Level' to initiate the automatic bed leveling process. The sensor will probe multiple points on the print bed.
- After auto-leveling, perform a Z-offset calibration if necessary to fine-tune the first layer adhesion.

5.3. Extruder Calibration
For optimal dual-color or dual-material printing, ensure both extruders are properly calibrated for alignment and extrusion.
- Refer to the included SD card for calibration models and detailed instructions on adjusting X and Y offsets for the second extruder.
- Adjust E-steps for each extruder to ensure accurate filament extrusion.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
This section covers basic operation, including filament loading and utilizing the various printing modes.
6.1. Tagħbija tal-Filament
The SV04 supports a wide range of filaments, including PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, PC, PA, Wood, ASA, and PVA.
- Place the filament spool onto the spool holder.
- Feed the filament through the filament sensor and into the extruder's input hole.
- Heat the nozzle to the appropriate temperature for your filament type.
- Manually push the filament until it extrudes smoothly from the nozzle.

6.2. Printing Modes
The independent dual extruders allow for four distinct printing modes:
- Modalità Unika: Uses one extruder to print a single model.
- Modalità Doppja: Prints a single model using two different colors or materials.
- Modalità mera: Prints two mirrored copies of a model simultaneously.
- Modalità Duplikata: Prints two identical copies of a model simultaneously.

Figure 5: The four different printing modes.
6.3. Using the LCD Touchscreen
The 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for controlling the printer.
- Navigate through menus using touch gestures.
- Access print files mill-karta SD.
- Monitor print progress, temperature, and other parameters.
- Adjust settings such as print speed, fan speed, and filament change options.
