Calibrating the Nozzle
If the gap between the nozzle and the stage is not approximately 0.3 mm, you can
conduct this process by using the MARV software’s ‘Auto Calibration’ feature. If you
use this feature, the modied value is saved and the same gap between the stages is
automatically used for the next printing job.
1.
With the adhesive tape facing up on the print bed, mount the print bed on
the stage.
Note
Adjust the gap between the nozzle and the print bed after it is installed on the staging brackets.
2.
With the printer connected to your computer, run the MARV software.

problem.
Printing Quality Is Not Satisfactory
Check that the print bed is clean and does not have any used tape attached
to it.
The print bed consists of a glass platform. Use new adhesive tape on the print
bed for each new object that you print. Doing so ensures that the object will be
securely xed to the print bed.
If adhesive tape is unavailable, use glue or a glue stick on the print bed before
printing an object.
Apply the adhesive tape properly and evenly to the print bed.
If the adhesive tape overlaps or is wrinkled, an uneven surface is created on
the print bed. This results in an irregular distance between the print bed and the
nozzle that can affect the quality of the printed object. Make sure that you apply
the adhesive tape without overlapping or wrinkling it.
Page 42
MARV User Manual
42
Is the nozzle calibrated correctly?
If the stage is not level, use the ‘Manual Calibration’ feature to manually calibrate
the nozzle. ‘Manual Calibration’ changes the distance between the 4 corners of
the print bed and the nozzle so that the correct distance (approximately 0.3 mm) is
available for proper printing.
1. With the adhesive tape facing up on the print bed, mount the print bed on the
stage.
2. With the printer connected to your computer, run the MARV software.
3. Click the
menu icon, and then click the button to use the ‘Manual
Calibration’ feature.
4. Clicking the button moves the nozzle to the 4 corners of the print bed.
5. Fine -tune the gap between the print bed and the nozzle.
Adjust the bolts to maintain a 0.3 mm gap (a gap that allows the calibration
sheet to meet the nozzle while still being movable) between the print bed
and the nozzle.
Turn bolts right: the gap narrows.*
1
Turn bolts left: the gap widens.*
2
*1
*2
6. Double check the calibration of the print bed.
Each time you click , the nozzle moves to a different corner. Adjust the
gap between the print bed and the nozzle at each corner.
When you have nished the adjustments, double check all the gaps.
7. Close the front cover.
Note
When using the ‘Manual Calibration’ feature, the modied value is not saved.
The modied value is saved when performing the ‘Auto Calibration’ procedure. (P. 31)
Caution
Calibrate the nozzle after the nozzle has sufciently cooled down. Failure to do so may cause
burns.
Page 43
MARV User Manual
43
Was the position and orientation of the printed object correct?
The printed object can be affected by unstable or uneven placement. For
enhanced printing results, rotate the model in the le before you import it so that
the largest or attest surface is the bottom side of the printed object.
"Is the size or the surface thickness of the model less than 2mm?"
For enhanced printing results, the surface thickness must be at least 2 mm.
Ensure that the object's surfaces are at least 2 mm thick before printing it.
How do I print my object if the bottom side can't support the object while it
is printing?
For enhanced printing results, the bottom side of the object must be stable on
the print bed. Edit the object's model to enlarge the bottom side or add a support
structure.
Do I have to use manufacturer supplied laments?
Using third-party laments may reduce printing quality and block the nozzle. For
enhanced printing results and to prevent machine breakdown, It is recommended
to use manufacturer supplied laments. The machine's warranty does not cover
breakdowns that are caused by using third-party laments.
When should I replace the lament?
Always replace a lament with a new one. The performance of a lament
deteriorates if it is left open for extended periods. An open lament should be used
as soon as possible.
How does moisture affect the lament?
If moisture enters the lament, it may affect the way that the lament extrudes from
the nozzle and affect the quality if the printed object. When you notice lament
extrusion and print quality issues, replace the lament. If you open a lament and
don't use it immediately, seal it and then store it in a cool, dark, and dry location.
The color of the printed object is not what I expected.
When a lament is replaced, the nozzle may contain lament residue of a different
color. The new color can be contaminated by the residual color. To avoid color
contamination when you change the lament, remove the lament residue from
the nozzle using the supplied nozzle maintenance pin. To prevent burns, wear
gloves when you clean the machine and replace the lament.
Does the color of the printed object vary?
When a lament is replaced, the nozzle may contain lament residue of a different
color. The new color can be contaminated by the residual color. To avoid color
contamination when you change the lament, remove the lament residue from
the nozzle using the supplied nozzle maintenance pin. To prevent burns, wear
gloves when you clean the machine and replace the lament.

The Filament Does Not Extrude During Printing
Is there sufcient material on the lament?
Check the quantity of material on the lament. If the lament is running out
of lament, replace the lament. If a printing job is discontinued it cannot be
resumed. Before using the machine, check that there is enough material available
on the lament.
Is the lament installed and operating correctly?
The lament should be inserted so that it can rotate freely and supply lament to
the nozzle.
Check that the lament can move freely by ensuring it is not obstructed. Also,
ensure that the feeding tube and lament that is attached to it do not become
tangled.
Install the lament so that the lament will release in a counterclockwise direction.
The Printed Object Cannot Be Removed from the Print Bed
Is the printed object xed to the printing bed?
If it is difcult to remove the printed object from the print bed, soak the print bed
in warm water (at approximately 50) for about 1 minute. Then, try to remove the
object from the print bed again.
Caution
When you remove the printed object from the print bed, wear gloves to prevent hand injuries
from any sharp edges on the object.
