S2.5 Allen key
Power on the printer, go to the main menu, click on "Settings" ➞ "Move" select "50mm" as the unit, and click the "Z+ Up" to raise the Z-axis to the middle height.
Return to the main menu, click on "Tools" icon ➞ "Filament" icon and finally click "Extrude."
The nozzle will automatically heat up to 210°C.
Once the nozzle reaches the target temperature, you could press the handle on the extruder to push a small amount of filament, and then quickly pull out the filament.
Follow the steps in the figure below for sequential operation.Using the Kobra 2 Max as an example.
Note: The images below are for better illustration, taken by disassembling the print head from the entire device. It is not necessary to remove the entire print head during actual disassembly. Some accessories in the images may be missing, but the steps remain consistent.
Before replacing the extruder motor, ensure that the device is turned off and disconnected from the power.
Wait for the print head temperature to cool to room temperature for safe operation.
Disconnect the extruder motor cable.
Use the S2.5 Allen key to loosen the 2 screws (located on the back of the print head) that secure the print head casing.
Since the print head casing and the model cooling fan (FAN0) are integrated, remove the FAN0 cable from the groove before pulling out the cable.
Use the S2.5 Allen key to loosen the 4 screws that secure the extruder motor and remove the extruder motor.
① Take the new extruder motor, install it in the corresponding position, and take out the screws previously removed from the old extruder motor.
Note: When installing the extruder motor, ensure that the motor's port is oriented towards the left.
② Use the S2.5 Allen key to thread the short screw through the motor ground wire,
align one of the screws with the corresponding hole, and pre-lock it. Then, thread the long screw through the extruder assembly,
align three of the screws with the corresponding holes, and pre-lock them.
Finally, ensure all four screws are correctly aligned with the holes and tighten all of them.
Take out the print head casing and screws previously removed. Insert the model cooling fan cable into the print head adapter board's FAN0 port.
Place the cable in the groove, keeping any excess cable to the side to avoid interference with the fan's rotation.
Use the S2.5 Allen key to tighten the screws by aligning them with the corresponding holes.
Insert the extruder motor cable into the extruder motor port.
After replacing the extruder motor, it is recommended to recalibrate the device according to the following instructions. Using the Kobra 2 Max as an example.
Connect the device's power cord, press the power switch on the side of the device to start it.
Note:
When inserting the power cord, please avoid crossing it with the print head cable to prevent interference.
In the main interface, click on the "Tools" icon ➜ "Control" icon ➜ "Module Calibration" ➜ "Position Calibration."
The machine will automatically perform detection and pause near the top the calibration module.
You could adjust the nozzle to the center position of the calibration module using the distance units and X/Y axis movement direction on the interface.
Once done, click "Save," and finally, perform the automatic leveling again.
On the device's main interface, click the "Tools" icon - "Control" icon - "Auto- Level" - "Confirm" to start the leveling process.
Follow the set process, and after leveling is complete, click "Finish." This process takes approximately 15 minutes.
Note:
① Please check whether the PEI board is installed before leveling.
② The leveling sensor is only used for platforms with metal surfaces.
If you replace the printing platform by yourself, please choose a platform with a metal surface to ensure the normal use of the automatic leveling function.
On the device's main interface, click the "Tools" icon - "Control" icon - "Vibration Compensation" - "Confirm" for resonance detection.
Follow the sequence to detect the X and Y axes. Click "Finish" after the Y-axis detection. This process takes approximately 15 minutes.
Note:
① Place the printer in a spacious and stable area during vibration compensation to avoid interference from other resonance sources.
② There may be significant noise during the vibration compensation process, which is normal.
