4. Setup u Installazzjoni

This section outlines the general steps for installing the Dual Extrusion 3D Printing Module onto your compatible Snapmaker 2.0 machine. Refer to your Snapmaker 2.0 main unit manual for specific instructions on module replacement.

Iftaħ il-Modulu mill-pakkett: Carefully remove the Dual Extrusion 3D Printing Module and all accessories from its packaging. Verify that all components listed in the packing list (refer to Image 4.1) are present.
Prepare the Snapmaker 2.0: Ensure your Snapmaker 2.0 machine is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Remove any currently installed 3D printing module or tool head.
Install the Dual Extrusion Module: Align the Dual Extrusion 3D Printing Module with the mounting points on the Snapmaker 2.0 linear module. Secure it in place using the provided screws or locking mechanism.
Connect Filament Tubes: Attach the filament guide tubes to the module and route them to your filament spools.
Tagħbija tal-Filament: Insert the desired filaments into the respective hot ends (left and right). Follow the on-screen prompts on your Snapmaker 2.0 touchscreen for filament loading.
Power On and Calibrate: Reconnect power to your Snapmaker 2.0 and power it on. The machine will detect the new module. Proceed with the calibration process as guided by the Luban software or the machine's touchscreen interface. This typically includes bed leveling and nozzle offset calibration for dual extrusion (refer to Image 4.2).

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Operating the Dual Extrusion 3D Printing Module involves preparing your 3D models and managing printing parameters within the Snapmaker Luban software.

5.1 Preparing Models for Dual Extrusion

Software: Use Snapmaker Luban software to prepare your 3D models. Luban provides specific settings for dual extrusion printing.
Assigning Extruders: Within Luban, you can assign different parts of your model or support structures to specific extruders (left or right). This allows for multi-color or multi-material prints.
Materjal Profiles: Select appropriate material profiles for each filament used. Luban will automatically adjust printing parameters based on the recognized hot end and material.

5.2 Proċess tal-Istampar

Slice Your Model: After assigning materials and settings, slice your 3D model in Luban. This generates the G-code for the printer.
Trasferiment tal-kodiċi G: Transfer the generated G-code file to your Snapmaker 2.0 machine via Wi-Fi, USB, or other supported methods.
Ibda l-Istampar: On the Snapmaker 2.0 touchscreen, select the G-code file and initiate the print. The machine will perform any necessary pre-print checks and begin the dual extrusion process.
