The slicing software, ideaMaker, is available on the USB storage device included with your printer.
Additional downloads and versions are available online at: https://www.raise3d.com/download/
Open the installer and choose your preferred language. Select your preferred installation location for ideaMaker, and click "Next".
Follow the instructions provided by the guide, and click "Install". After the installation is finished, click "Next" to go to the next step.
Click "Finish" and ideaMaker is installed.
Open the Disk Image for the ideaMaker installer. This is located in the USB storage device included with your printer. Alternatively, you can download the latest version from https://www.raise3d.com/download/.
Next, drag the ideaMaker icon(left) into the Application folder on the right side.
When launching ideaMaker for the first time, you will need to select your printer model. Select "printer setting" and choose the type of the printer you are using, then press "Next".
Select the diameter of your filament. Press "Finish" to finalize the initial settings.
NOTE: ALL E2 printers use 1.75 mm filaments.
Click the "+" button to import "Giveaway Spinner" included in the USB storage device.
Click "Start" or the button on the box to start slicing the model.
Confirm your printer type and material are correct, then select the standard slicing template.
Click "Edit" to select the type of Platform Addition and the type of Support.
Click "Save and Close" to return to the previous menu. Click "Slice" to generate your file.
Save the sliced files (.gcode and .data) by exporting them to the included USB storage device.
NOTE: File names that do not conform to the Western Latin character set may not display properly.
Confirm that the files are saved and eject the USB storage device.
You can connect to a network by selecting the SSID and inputting the password. When the Wi-Fi module is manufactured, 2.4G is set at HT20, 5GHz is set at HT40.
Note: The Wi-Fi’s frequency is fixed before being manufactured. The customer is not allowed to modify the Wi-Fi’s parameters.
(If needed, please contact our tech support team).
Alternatively, you can select "Add Other Network" and input a name and password.
The printers are pre-leveled at the factory, but we recommend verifying that the leveling has not changed during shipping.
How to level up the X-axis:
As shown in figure 1, click "Maintenance" to level up the X-axis and it will touch the top beam until horizontal.
Click the "Utilities" menu and home the Z-axis. Press the upward arrow to lift the Z-axis about 0.3 mm-0.7 mm.
Check the distance between the nozzle and the printing platform. After pushing the left extruder to the center position on the platform, loosen the nozzle screw.
Take out the gauge from the Accessory Kit and insert it between the nozzle and the platform. Adjust the nozzle so that the distance between the nozzle and the printing platform exactly matches the thickness of the gauge (about 0.3 mm). Tighten the nozzle screw and remove the gauge. The other nozzle is adjusted in the same way.
Follow the steps shown in the figure on the touch screen to run 9-point automatic leveling.
After the 9 grid interface automatically closes, the leveling is finished.
Insert the USB storage device into the USB slot on the side of the touch screen.
Select the "Print" tab, and choose "USB Storage". Select the file and check the printing parameters and settings. Press "Print" to start printing the test file.
During printing, you can check the status of your printing, including printing time and other parameters, from the touch screen in the "Home" interface.
NOTE: The touch screen will display an image of your model on-screen during printing. This image will only be shown when the file is sliced by ideaMaker before being uploaded to the printer.
