Fusion3 F410 Rebuilt

This tutorial is to be used as an introductory tutorial for use of the Fusion3 F410.

This printer has been rebuilt and is Klipper based.

Turn on the Fusion3 F410.

Tap screen to check if it is already on.

If it's not on, the power switch is located on the back right of the printer.

Verify the build plate is clean and clear from any previous prints.

Verify or load the correct filament into the printer. A Filament Options Tutorial is available when choosing a filament type.

Turn on ventilation if required due to filament type.

Verify or install the correct build plate which corresponds to the type of filament being printed.

Build plates are found below the printer, under the table.

For PLA, PETG, TPU and others, use the black Buildtak build plate.

For ABS, use the light yellow PEI build plate.

For PC and others, use glass with a glue stick applied to the surface.

Log in to the computer near the printer using the credentials at the top of the screen.

Open the slicer software. In this case, it will be SuperSlicer.

Superslicer is a fork of Prusaslicer. Documentation from Prusaslicer can be useful as linked here.

Here is the link to the user interface documentation as needed.

Within the first text box on the right side, make sure that "0.2mm 0.4nozzle" is selected as shown in the image.

Within the second text box, select the filament that will be used under user presets.

Within the third text box under "Physical Printers", select "Fusion3 F410".

To upload a stl file, select the box as shown in the image.

Use the object manipulation tools for positioning, scaling, orientation and so forth as discussed in the Object Manipulation tutorial.

Modify the support material options which can be found below the printer selection as seen in the third image.

For further information on support material and why it is needed, refer to the Support Material tutorial.

Click "Slice now".

After slicing is complete, Superslicer will automatically navigate to the "Gcode preview" tab.

Verify that support material and general shape will be printed as expected by clicking and dragging the blue bar on the right side of the viewing window shown in the image.

If additional changes are needed, navigate back to the "3D view" tab, correct, and then slice the file again.

To send the verified file to the printer:

Select the "G" button on the bottom right of the window.

A user prompt window will appear. Rename the file to something easily recognizable.

Select "Upload" to transfer the file to the printer automatically.

On the printer select "Print".

Navigate to find the uploaded file.

Date and refresh buttons may help.

Select Print.

After verifying the selected file is correct, select print again to start the print.

Wait until the first layer prints correctly before leaving.

This printer requires periodic monitoring.

The user is expected to check on the printer every two hours.

If this is not possible, notify the Lab Director for further instructions.

If this is not done, access to the Fab Lab may be revoked.
