How to Print from SD Card (Offline Mode)

• Step 2: Save the .gcode.3mf file to your SD card.

• Step 3: Insert card into printer → Select "Folder" icon on screen → Select file → Print.

Filament Loading (External Spool Only)

• Select "Load" on the screen and push filament in until the toolhead grabs it.

Adhesion & Overhangs: Brims and Supports

• Brims: Enable in slicer to keep corners from lifting (replaces rafts).

• Supports: Enable "Tree Supports" for complex overhangs.

Post-Processing: Removing Prints

• Wait for the plate to cool. Remove the magnetic plate and flex it gently to pop the print off. Do not use a scraper.
