PRINTING AND REMOVING MODELS

4.3 Removing 3D objects from the bed

Once the I3 Mini has completed printing your 3D printed object follow these steps to

remove it from the print bed.

1.      Once the print is completed,wait for the extruder to cool and then turn off your 3D printer

2.      Using the supplied, carefull'wedge'under one of the edges of the 3D object.Take

         care to keep the scraper flat with the bed to preven damaging the print mat

3.      As one edge begins to lift,gently maneuver the scraper forward to continue to'wedge

         between the 3D object and print bed

4.      Once the 3D object has fully separated from the print bed,it is safe to remove

NOTE: 

*       Always take care when using the scraper.Never use excessive force scrape towards your hand.

     Scrape away from the body and keep hands clear to prevent injury

*       Always keep the scrape as level as possible.Scrape can damage the print mat if not used

         corretly

*       Removing a 3D object,particularly one with a large surface size, can be a long process.Never

         rush when removing a 3D printed object

TIP:    If you are persistently having trouble removing 3D printed objects, try the following:

 *       Use a layer of bule masking tape(designed to not leave behind residue) on the print bed.Be

          sure to remove and replace after each print  

 *       Check if the printing mat is damaged and replace if needed

 *       Replacement mats can be purchased at https://www.wanhao3dprinter.com

4.4 Removing Filament

Follow these steps to remove fialment

NOTE: You do not have to remove filament after each print,however

if you do not intend to print for long periods of time we recommend

removing and storing filament in a resealable air tight bag

1.        Turn on the 3D printer with the power switch located at the back

           of the printer

2.        Push the dial button to access the main menu and navigate to

           Quick setting           Chanege filament            Remove filament.

           The extruder will automatically raise and preheat;always wait 

           until it has fully preheater

3.        After the extruder has preheated,hold the filament clamp on the 

           top of the tower and push the filament so a small amount begins 

           to extrude

4.        Once filament is extruding from the nozzle,while holding the filament clamp,quick pull the 

           filament out of the extruder and tube

5.        Store the filament in a resealable bag to protect it from moisture
