Leveling before 3D printing is so crucial that it can influence the quality of the print-out.
If the printing bed is too far from the extruder’s nozzles, or if one part of the bed is farth

er away from the nozzles than another part, your 3D prints might not stick to the bed.

Meanwhile, if the printing bed is too close to the extruder’s nozzles, the bed can block
the filament from extruding from the nozzles. This can also scratch the printing bed and
tear the PET tape on it.

F1 Troubleshooting (FAQ)

F. Troubleshooting

Q. What if the filament is not properly discharged?

A1.

There are many causes to prevent filaments from coming out well. One of the most
common causes is when is clogged. When this happens, set the extruder
temperature higher than 240℃ at [Utilities] > [Preheat Setting], and use [Preheat]
function of display menu to melt the filaments accumulated inside the nozzle,

Hardware

function of display menu to melt the filaments accumulated inside the nozzle,
whereby the nozzle can be unclogged. (Reduce the extruder temperature again after
use). If the method mentioned above fails to solve the problem, use hex wrench to
unscrew the two bolts positioned at an upper surface of the extruder and the two
bolts positioned at a lower surface of the extruder, separate the two parts and check
if filament scraps clog the nozzle hole. Next, unclog the nozzle hole using a long
unfolded clip or a smallest hex wrench provided at the time of purchase while the
extruder is under a preheated state (do the separation work while the power is
turned off after preheat. Malfunction may occur if fan separation work is performed
while the extruder is under the preheat state)

A2.

Malfunction may also occur when the gear extruding the filament is not properly
operated. If malfunction occurs, dismantle the extruder, and remove the wastes
accumulated on the gear using a brush such as tooth brush, then the problem can
be solved.

A3.

It is also important to set the extruder temperature according to material. If the
extruder temperature is too high or too low, the material may hold together, or may
not be properly solved to prevent a smooth output. Be sure to check the proper
temperature according to the used material.

∃DISON PRO User Manual V.1 23

temperature according to the used material.

Q.

What if the printed material is not properly stuck to the printing bed?

A1.

If the printed material is not properly stuck to the output board, or if the printed
material is not properly outputted, it means that there is a problem in a gap
between the nozzle and the output board. If this problem occurs, select [Utilities] >
[Standard Leveling], adjust a round knob underneath the printing bed, and properly
adjust the gap between the output board and the nozzle. This problem can be
easily solved if Auto Leveling function of Edison PRO is used (See page 11 in the
instruction Manual).

A2.

The temperature of the printing bed may also be a cause preventing the printed object
from being properly attached to the output board, which can be solved by setting a proper
temperature of heated bed catering to the material to be used. In general, the temperature
for PLA is in the range of 60℃ ~ 80℃, and the temperature of ABS requires a bed
temperature of above 110℃.

Q.

What if the printed object is generated with shrinkage?

A1.

It is important to control an ambient temperature of printed object under FFF method in
which filaments are melted and stacked at a high temperature and stacked. When an
ambient temperature of printed material is low, shrinkage might happen, and it may also
occur if no heat exceeding a predetermined temperature is applied to the output board
depending on used material. In order to prevent shrinkage, the temperature inside the
printer must be maintained at a predetermined level or the temperature of output board
must be adjusted according to used material.

※ Temperature inside the printer may change depending on the season and surrounding environments.

Q. Is design also available from the dedicated ∃DISON’s software (CreatorK)?

A1.

The dedicated ∃DISON’s software (CreatorK) is an optimized program to enable a simple
setting 3D printing whereby no design correction is allowed. Manufacturing and designing
of 3D modeling file must use 3D design program.

Software

Q. Can MAX OS X use the dedicated ∃DISON software (CreatorK)?

A1.

Dedicated ∃DISON’s software (CreatorK) supports Window and Mac operating systems.
These operating systems can easily be installed and used. Please check our website and
download a separate manual for more detailed information on usage.

Q. What types of 3D files are required to use the laser engraver? (For Premium)

A1.

STL file that is identical to the existing 3D modeling file is required. However, the modeling
must be performed in such a manner that a shape to be cut be done in a linear format of
1mm width, and a thickness to be cut be three times thicker. The modeled STL file can be
easily used by selecting a laser output mode through the dedicated ∃DISON ‘s software.

Q. Is it possible to use material purchased from other companies?

A1.

We recommend that you use a certified genuine filament in order to guarantee a
stable output and product protection. You might not be able to get after-sales service
benefits if non-genuine filament is used.

Material

Q. Is it possible to output in filament format using a metal material? (For Premium)

A1.

The metal material is provided in a paste format in a dedicated cartridge, not in the
filament format. Various materials may be outputted including a metal material and
chocolate by replacing an extruder part from which material is extruded.

⑤

Attach the Extended Stopper to the lower part of Z axis to

make the printing bed stop at the fixed distance for metal pri

nting. (Use stopper in the image1 for ∃DISON Multi and use

stopper in the image2 for ∃DISON PRO. They differ

in length.)

⑥

Put the ceramic tile on the bed after save x3g. file in the SD

card. Select file to print and start printing.

NOTE :

In case the thickness of layer is out of the range 0.7~1mm when printing

, adjust the thickness by re-tuning the leveling. Or tighten the bolt (small

set screw in the gear) using a supplied hex

wrench makes thicker layer and releasing the bolt makes thinner layer.

1)

Silver paste

①

Take out printed clay with the tile and dry it for 24 hours by natural drying or dry it

by warming for at least 1 hour using hair dryer or dry it by heating in the mini

toaster oven for 10 minutes in 200°C. Print-out which has been completely dried and

cooled down can be detached from the tile easily.

NOTE : Be careful that print-out which is not completely dry, might be difficult to get complete firi

ng and liable to crumble.

②

Put the dried print-out in the electric kiln and set temperature at 780°C and fire it fo

r 10 minutes. Then silver clay changes into fine silver. Switch off the kiln and open th

e door to cool down the heat enough before taking the print-out out of the kiln.

NOTE : Mini electric kiln which ROKIT Inc. provides or any electric kiln which can be heated up to 9

80°C can be used but quality of fired output may vary depending on the kiln.

NOTE : Use tongs or wear gloves when take the sample out of the kiln to avoid scald.

③

As the surface of the print-out taken out of the kiln has binder powder on it, brush

off the surface using stainless steel brush provided in the kit box and silvery product

will be completed.

NOTE : Brush thoroughly every corner for completion.

the heat enough. If the heat cools down to room temperature, finish work by taking

the sample out of the cube and brushing the sample using stainless steel brush.

NOTE :

Cube and carbon are recyclable (only the part which has not changed into white ash by oxidation).

TIP :

Be careful of scald when use toast oven or kiln and especially, in case the output has been fired in
kiln, cool the output enough by opening the door at least an hour before take the printed object
out of the kiln.
When you print in the tile after dry in toast oven, the output will not be separated easily unless you
cool it enough so cool it for at least 30 minutes before you separate the output and then put it on
wire mesh and put in the kiln.
