2. Namestitev portala: Attach the horizontal gantry (X-axis) to the vertical frames.
3. Hotend and Extruder: Mount the hotend and extruder assembly onto the X-axis carriage.
4. Ožičenje: Connect all motors, endstops, hotend, heated bed, and control screen to the mainboard. Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Nosilec žarilne nitke: Install the filament holder on top of the frame.
6. Napajanje: Priključite napajalno enoto.

Opomba: Pay close attention to the power supply voltage switch. Ensure it matches your local power grid (115V for North America, 230V for Europe and most other regions) before plugging in the printer.

5. Začetna nastavitev

5.1. Izravnavanje postelje

Proper bed leveling is crucial for successful prints. The Ender 3 features large hand-twist nuts for easier bed leveling.

1. Heat the bed to your desired printing temperature (e.g., 60°C for PLA).
2. Disable steppers from the control panel.
3. Move the hotend to each of the four corners of the bed.
4. Use a piece of paper between the nozzle and the bed. Adjust the leveling nuts until you feel slight resistance when moving the paper.
5. Repeat for all four corners multiple times until the bed is consistently leveled.

5.2. Namestitev programske opreme

The Ender 3 is compatible with various slicing software, such as Creality Print, Cura, or PrusaSlicer. Install your preferred software on a personal computer (compatible with Windows XP and newer operating systems).

Rezanje: Use the software to convert your 3D models (e.g., OBJ format) into G-code, which the printer understands.

6. Navodila za uporabo

6.1. Nalaganje filamenta

1. Namestite tuljavo z žarilno nitko na držalo za žarilno nitko.
2. Feed the filament through the filament sensor (if present) and into the extruder.
3. Heat the hotend to the appropriate temperature for your filament (e.g., 200°C for PLA).
4. Press the extruder lever and push the filament through the hotend until it extrudes smoothly from the nozzle.

6.2. Začetek tiskanja

1. Shranite svojo narezano G-kodo file to the provided SD card.
2. Insert the SD card into the printer's SD card slot.
3. Navigate the printer's menu to "Print from SD" and select your file.
4. The printer will begin heating the bed and nozzle, then start the print.

6.3. Resume Printing Function

The Ender 3 features a resume printing function. In case of a power outage or accidental disconnection, the printer can resume the print from where it left off once power is restored.
