8.11. Temperature controls
ATTENTION:
Pay particular attention during the various stages of the procedures, it is essential to wear safety
gauntlets to avoid the risk of burns.
NOTE:
The temperature controls are already set inside the official printing profiles.
NOTE:
The extruder allows to manage two distinct temperatures for preheating and for the nozzle.
Material manufacturers can provide useful information on the ideal temperature ranges to maintain
for each material.
The machine allows several temperature controls and it’s very important to manage them correctly in order to
get a good quality output.
Control Description Max value
Nozzle Temperature of the nozzle, controls the melting of the pellets and the
consistency of the material extruded
350 °C
Barrel Preheat zone before the nozzle, it starts softening the pellets before the
complete melting
Always equal or
lower than the
nozzle
Firecap Blows hot air distributed on the top of the print, maintaining a high
temperature on the last layer printer and slowing down the cooling
process. This can prevent delamination, reduce the warping and ensure
optimal layer bonding.
150 °C
The temperatures can be managed:
• during the creation of the gcode in the slicing software
• with the TFT interface of the machine, see 5.2.1 Main Board
• with the printing server when the machine is connected to the network, see 8.8 Network and printing server
