1.4 Status Display

On the front of the platform sit a row of blue LEDs above the words Afinia indicating either:

a.) The progress on reaching the platform target temperaturewhen pre-heating the platform

b.) The overall print progress during printing.

Located on the front of the platform is the heart beat of the Afinia H800, which indicates the state of the

printer.

1.5 What's included

The Afinia H800 comes in an even bigger box filled with everything you need to kick start your desktop

factory into action.

2ACRONYMSANDABBREVIATIONS

STL STereoLithography is the common file format used for sharing and printing 3d files

Additive Fabrication The technical term used for the more user-friendly term of 3D printing.

ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. This is a lightweight thermoplastic with resistance to

high heat and is the most common plastic used in 3d printing. A strong and generally

easy material to print with, but printing large parts can warp.

PLA Polylactic Acid is a biodegradable material derived from corn. Unlike ABS it warps less

but support removal can be harder. A great material to obtain low cost steel parts by

sending the PLA printed part to a foundry to use investment casting / lost wax casting.

Raft The printer lays down a foundation before it starts print the model. The raft is used to

anchor the model down onto and into the perfboard. During the printing of the raft, any

unevenness in the leveling of the platform is correct during the raft.

Perfboard A reusable and removal build platform that the model is printed onto. (included)

Shell The external layers of the printed part, much like an egg shell.

Infill The internal honeycomb structure that gives the part strength

Smart Support The Afinia software automatically generates the required supports / scaffold to support

any overhangs of the model during printing. Much like building a bridge over water and

having scaffolding to support it.

MEM Melted Extrusion Melting, the process of melting plastic and 3d printing. Much like a

hot glue gun on steroids.

Wind Barrier A small flap at the bottom of the print head that controls the air flow onto or away from

the nozzle. Cool air blowing over the nozzle, cools the molten plastic quickly and can

cause: weaker parts, better print quality and warping

Warping When a part lifts away from the platform. Caused by the uneven cooling of the part

during printing as the material shrinks back to its normal state. All materials expand

when heated and shrink when cooled. Molten plastic as it is printed is in an expanded

state, as the part cools it contracts. The larger the part the worse the effect and ABS is

more prone to warping where PLA does not warp as much.

Air Printing When the printer is moving and acting as if it is printing, but nothing is being extruded

out of the nozzle. Check the trouble shooting section for help.

3QUICKSTART

This step by step guide might seem long and drawn out, but we highly suggest you follow it to get started.

The touch panel can be used to carry out many of the below functions, but if you are unfamiliar with the

printer we highly recommend following the below guide to have a better understanding of the process.

STEP 1 - UNPACK

You'll need a friend in this step to help you

remove the Afinia H800 from its box.

It's BIG!

Lift it onto a table and then pull out the foam

packaging and remove the cable ties that hold

each axis in place.

STEP 2 - PERFBOARD

Place the Perfboard onto the build plate and

lock it into place with the locating holes, so

the perfboard is completely flat against the

metal plate.

TIP: Ensure you have removed all the

shipping cable ties and packaging

material from the inside of the printer.

Move the print head manually around to

ensure it has free motion. The platform

cannot be manuall

moved.

STEP 4 - LOAD FILAMENT

Remove the magnetic spool cover, then remove

the spool of Afinia Premium ABS from its

packaging.

Feed the end of the filament from the back of

the spool into the feeder tube until the end of

the filament appears out the other end.

Cut the end of the filament off, so it has a nice

clean flat end.

Insert the end of the filament into the left hand

side of the print head and push it in all the way

until it can't go in any further.

STEP 5 - INSTALLING SOFTWARE

Install the Afinia software and included drivers

from the Installation Disc included with the

Printer.

TIP: Always keep tension on the

filament. Never let go of the end of the

filament, or it will coil under itself and

possibly tangle itself.

TIP: For detailed installation or help,

refer to Software Installation in this

manual.
