Snapmaker Artisan has 3 functions
3D printing
laser engraving and cutting
and CNC carving and cutting
In this video
we'll show you how to set it up as a 3D printer with the enclosure
If you haven't installed the enclosure
some steps would be different
Please watch the corresponding tutorial video for the situation
when there is an enclosure
The parts and tools you need include Dual Extrusion 3D Printing Module
3D printing platform
2 filament holders
2 filament tubes, 2 tube clips
AC power cable
H3.0 hex key in blue color
and M4 × 20 screws
Turn the cam handle of the support platform left to loosen it
and install the 3D printing platform above
Make sure it's clamped correctly
and then turn the cam handle right until it's tight
Plug the heated bed cable into the heated bed
You should pay attention to the direction of the connector
Next
loosen the cam handle of the toolhead bracket
and slide in the Dual Extrusion Module from the right
Make sure it's fully in
and then tighten the cam handle
Plug the toolhead cable into the Dual Extrusion Module
and make sure the cable is not tangled with other machine parts
Now recheck if the cable is fixed by the cable clip at the correct positions
Insert the filament tube through the tube holder from the outside in
until the rubber casing of the tube touches the holder
Remove the tube fixture from the filament entry
insert the filament tube into the module
and attach the tube fixture back
Use 4 M4 × 20 screws to attach the filament holders
to both sides of the enclosure in the direction shown
Finally
connect the controller to an electric outlet with the AC power cable
Remove the base plate sticker
Now you're ready to 3D print
you need to unload the filament from the Dual Extrusion Module
and put the filament tube away
Remove the tube fixture first
and press tight the round clamp at the filament entry
Pull out the tube
and attach the tube fixture back
After that
you can stick the provided tube clips
to the illustrated position inside the enclosure
and press the filament tube into the clip
so that it won't get in the way of laser or CNC processes
Or
you can remove the filament tube
by pressing tight the round clamp on the tube holder
and pulling the tube out of the enclosure
Next
go to "Module Assistant" on the Touchscreen
tap "Replace Module",
then unplug the toolhead cable and remove the Dual Extrusion Module
Disconnect the heated bed
and put the dust plug on the connector of the heated bed
cable to block material debris during laser or CNC processes
Lastly, remove the heated bed
and you're ready to set up the laser or CNC function
That's all for this video
