Detailed Specifications

The Mingda 3D Scanner Printer D2 boasts impressive specifications, including a print volume of 150 x 150 x 150 mm, a maximum scanning volume of 220 x 220 x 220 mm, and a laser engraving area of 125 x 125 mm. The device features a high-precision, direct-drive extruder with a 0.4mm nozzle diameter, and a print speed of up to 150 mm/s. The Mingda D2 also has a heated print bed that can reach temperatures up to 100°C, ensuring reliable adhesion and warp-free printing. The 3D scanner on the Mingda D2 has a resolution of up to 0.1 mm and can capture details with high accuracy.

Overview

The printing process of the MINGDA 3D printer involves using the slicing software CURA to convert the .stl document into a .gcode document. The 3D printer then reads the .gcode document and prints the filament into a 3D product. CURA runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, or 10.

Device Installation

Cable Connection

X-Axis Adjustment

Filament Installation

1. Preheat the nozzle temperature to 200°C.

   

2. Hang the filament on the holder, pass it through the filament detector, press the extruder strip, and push the filament in until it flows out of the nozzle evenly.

   

Bed Leveling

1. Choose Home, click to stop moving and prevent the nozzle from hitting the platform. Gently push the print head to the four corners and the middle of the platform, observing the gap between the nozzle and the hot bed.

   

2. Ensure the gap is about 0.1mm by inserting an A4 paper between the nozzle and the printing platform. Adjust the four fine-tuning nuts so the paper can move with resistance but not scratch.

   

3. If adding a glass or other material plate on the hot bed, adjust the limit block position and the platform level again.

General Maintenance

Daily Preventive Maintenance

1. Before printing, reset the Z-axis to check the distance between the nozzle and the platform to prevent the nozzle from scratching the platform.
2. Before printing, check that the XV axis moves smoothly and check if the belt is worn or loose.
3. Before printing, preheat the nozzle to check feeding. If it is not smooth, clean or replace the print nozzle assembly.
4. After printing is completed, clean all the accumulated filaments and stains on the printing platform and lead screw.
5. Filament that are not used for a long time should be sealed and stored. Excessive absorption of moisture from the air can make the filament brittle.

500 Hours Maintenance

About every 500 hours you should clean up the printer.

1. Clean the body, absolute ethanol will be better to use.
2. To clean the guide rails, f irst wipe the sides of the guide rails with anti-rust paint and re-add lubricant.
3. Check the screws, check if the mounting screws such as the synchronous wheel, belts and motor are loose. If it is loose, it should be tightened in time.

1000 Hours Maintenance

After more than 1000 hours of running, the nozzle may become clogged or worn, which may have a negative impact on the surface smoothness and detail of the model. A new screw tube and print nozzle need to be replaced at this time. You can contact M INGDA for related videos.

1. Cut off the printer power completely.
2. Use sleeve to twist down the nozzle.
3. Take out the new nozzle from kit and then install in original position.
4. Use sleeve tights up the printing nozzle.
