This will be great in a few weeks for Halloween! This print was also my first experience with the supports that some models have that help the printer span voids. I don’t give up so I found another model file and tried again. The print nozzle went from the home position to the front and sat there making a blob. I found a model file, loaded it on the microSD card and… this happened. With two successful prints under my belt, I was feeling like a 3D printing guru and decided it was time to branch out and find other g-code models. Here’s the other g-code model from the included micro SD card printed in orange filament. The Easythreed K7 3D printer comes with a small amount of white filament, but I wanted to try some other colors so I purchased a box of 4 spools from Amazon. Some models like this little rocket can take 30 minutes or so. The time it takes to print a 3D model is dependant on the size of the print. The raft breaks away from the bottom of the print revealing the 3D model. When printing is finished, the nozzle will lift and you can remove the magnetic print bed and peel off the print. This type of file is in a format that describes the surface geometry of a 3D object. STL stands for Standard Tessellation Language or STereoLithography. If you want to print other 3D models and search the net for free models you’ll find a lot of STL files. The K7 3D printer can only print g-code files. What is g-code? G-code is the computer language that tells a 3D printer how to control the nozzle movement to print a 3D model. This card has manuals, instructional videos, slicing software, and 2 sample g-code 3D model files. Let’s make our first print!Ī USB card reader with a microSD card is included with the Easythreed K7 3D printer.
You have to do this for all four corners. To do this, you use the four corner screws below the print bed to lower and raise the bed so that a sheet of paper can just fit between the print nozzle and print bed surface. Calibrationīefore you can print your first 3D model, you will need to calibrate the printer. That’s because there isn’t one! Yeah, what the heck right? In order to turn the printer off, you have to yank out the power cord. You’ll notice that I didn’t mention a power switch. The opposite side of the K7 does not have any buttons or ports but the front of the printer has a Print/Pause button.
