The printer contains a power cord that conforms to your current country (region). Connect it to the power inlet and outlet. Flip the switch of the printer.
After the printer is powered on, the printer will enter the boot process. It takes about 60 seconds for the printer to enter the Start-up Wizard.
After the printer has entered the Start-up Wizard, you can follow the prompts on the screen for further operations, such as choosing the language for the printer.
After confirming that all the safety spacers and screws are removed according to the screen prompts, tap “Next”. Open the front door, and take out the accessory box and filament box from the printer.
8. Keep following the Start-up Wizard to complete the basic settings, such as printer’s name, network, and RaiseCloud. After completing the basic settings, the printer will carry out the offset calibration (See chapter E for details).
1. Offset calibration is to ensure that your printer will print successfully. There are 5 steps in the whole offset value calibration in the Start-up Wizard, and the whole process takes about 1 hour.
2. Please select an appropriate filament template, such as Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA, or you can add a new filament template. Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament is used for the calibration process in this tutorial.
Note:
1) It is recommended to use the same type of filaments for Offset Calibration. It is also recommended to use Raise3D Hyper Speed filaments.
2) When running the "R-Nozzle XY Offset" and "Dual Color Cube" in the Offset Calibration, PLA filaments must be used.
3. Run the 5-step Offset Calibration sequentially according to the prompts on the screen.
1. Enter the Left Z Probe Offset. Make sure that the nozzle and build plate are clean.
2. With a 0.3 mm feeler gauge, adjust the distance between the nozzle and the build plate as indicated by the prompts on the screen. Make sure that you can feel some resistance as the feeler gauge moves between the nozzle and build plate. Do not press hard on the build plate.
3. After adjusting the distance between the nozzle and the build plate, follow the prompt on the screen to install and load the filament.
Note: Two spools of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament are used for calibration in this tutorial.
4. After loading the filament, the printer will start printing a 9-square calibration model. Wait for the model to finish printing.
5. After the model is printed, compare the model with the on-screen example. Hold the model up against a light and select the first block that doesn’t leak light. The printer will automatically adjust the offset value of the left nozzle.
Note: If all the blocks leak light or do not leak light, it means that there may be deviations when measuring the distance between the build plate with a feeler gauge, and it is necessary to recalibrate by selecting the corresponding scenario.
●If all the blocks leak light, the distance between the nozzles and the build plate is too large. Select "All blocks leak light" and the machine will lower the nozzle and recalibrate.
●If all the blocks do not leak light, the distance between the nozzle and the build plate is too small. Select "None of the blocks leak light" and the machine will lift the nozzle and recalibrate.
1. Enter the Right Z Probe Offset. Make sure that the nozzle and build plate are clean.
2. With a 0.3 mm feeler gauge, adjust the distance between the nozzle and the build plate according to the prompts on the screen. Make sure that you can feel some resistance as the feeler gauge moves between the nozzle and build plate. Do not press hard on the build plate.
3. After adjusting the distance between the nozzle and the build plate, follow the prompt on the screen to install and load the filament.
Note: Two spools of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament are used for calibration in this tutorial.
4. After loading the filament, the printer will start printing a 9-square calibration model. Wait for printing to complete.
5. After the model is printed, compare the model with the on-screen example. Hold the model up against a light and select the first block that doesn’t leak light. The printer will automatically adjust the offset value of the right nozzle.
Note: If all the blocks leak light or do not leak light, it means that there may be deviations when measuring the distance between the build plate with a feeler gauge, and it is necessary to recalibrate by selecting the corresponding scenario.
●If all the blocks leak light, the distance between the nozzles and the build plate is too large. Select "All blocks leak light" and the machine will lower the nozzle and recalibrate.
●If all the blocks do not leak light, the distance between the nozzle and the build plate is too small. Select "None of the blocks leak light" and the machine will lift the nozzle and recalibrate.
1. The purpose of this step is to calibrate the flatness of the build plate. The printer will automatically detect 64 points on the build plate and adjust the flatness of the build plate.
2. After the build plate is leveled, a visualized leveling result is displayed.
1. The purpose of this step is to calibrate the XY offset of the right nozzle so that it aligns with the left nozzle. The printer will heat up automatically and print two test models.
Note: This calibration can only be performed if both the left extruder and the right extruder are loaded with PLA filaments, otherwise this step cannot be performed. In this tutorial, the left and right extruders are loaded with Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filaments.
2. After printing, according to the instructions on the screen, select a pair of lines that are completely aligned on the X model and the Y model respectively. As exampled in the figure below, the corresponding number to the pair of aligned lines on the X model is 1, and the corresponding number to the pair of aligned lines on the Y model is 2.
3. Input the serial number on the screen. The printer will automatically calibrate the XY Offset of the right nozzle.
1. This step aims to validate the XY offset value of the right nozzle by printing dual-color cubes.
Note: This calibration can only be performed if both the left extruder and the right extruder are loaded with PLA filaments, otherwise this step cannot be performed. In this tutorial, the left and right extruders are loaded with Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filaments.
2. After printing, please compare the printed dual-color cube with the sample graphic on the screen, and check whether there is an obvious gap between the color blocks.
3. If there is no gap between the color blocks, it means that the XYZ direction offset value of the right nozzle is within a reasonable range. Please tap "Done" to complete the 5-step Offset Calibration.
4. If there is a gap between the color blocks, please tap "Retry" and re-run the 4th and 5th steps of the 5-step Offset Calibration to recalibrate the XY offset value of the right nozzle.
After the 5-step calibration is completed, you can start your first high-speed print!

3) In ideaMaker, Raise3D filaments have threshold limits for speed, acceleration, and volumetric flow rate in Standard Mode and Hyper Speed Modes respectively, and if each speed exceeds the threshold, ideaMaker will display an alert.
When the speed, acceleration, and volumetric flow rate exceed the threshold, a yellow exclamation mark reminder is given, and an explanation is given when the mouse hovers over it.
4. After reviewing the parameters, click "Start Slicing" to slice the model.
5. After slicing, you can export the file to the local disk and then upload it to the printer, or you can upload it directly to the Pro3 HS series printer to start your Hyper Speed printing.
Open the side door of the printer. Place two filament holders on the installation points.
Select the “Utilities” tab at the bottom of the screen. Tap “Load” for the left or right nozzle.
Following the prompts on the screen, take out a roll of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA. Attach the tag on the filament to the RFID sensor above the holders, and the printer will automatically read the filament information.
Important: These instructions are based on the properties of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament. The Pro3 HS series printers come with two spools of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA. We recommend using Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA for testing and initial setup.
Install the filament on the holder.
Note: As shown in the left figure, if the filament is installed at the point A, it is recommended to place the filament in a clockwise direction; if the filament spool installed at the point B, it is recommended to place the filament spool in a counterclockwise direction.
Placing the filaments in the suggested directions, as shown in the figure, can make feeding filaments smoother.
Press and hold the metal quick connector on the extruder and pull out the filament guide tube.
Find the tip of the filament. Pass the filament into the left or right inlet until the tip of the filament is completely through the guide tube.
Note: Here we take the left extruder as an example, because the operation of the left extruder is the same as that of the right extruder. The left and right inlets are as shown in the figure, please do not mix them up.
You can also feed the filament from an external filament box through the external left/right inlets located on the right side.
When the printer reaches the target temperature, tap “Load”. The extruder gear will start to rotate. Gently push the filament into the extruder. When the filament is extruded out from the nozzle, tap “OK” to complete the loading. Insert the guide tube back into the quick connector.
Clean the residual filament at the nozzle. Tap “OK” and loading filament is complete.
Insert the USB device that contains your sliced model files (.gcode or .data) into the USB port on the side of the touch screen.
Select the “Print” tab at the bottom of the touch screen and choose “USB Storage” to open the file storage path. Select your sliced model file to check the printing parameters and settings. Tap “Print” to start printing the model.
During the printing process, you can check the printing status from the “Home” interface on the touch screen, including the remaining printing time and other parameters.
Note: The model image will only be displayed on the touch screen when the file is sliced by ideaMaker, and the .data file is exported to the USB drive or the .data file is uploaded to the printer.
Make sure the printer is idle, and there is at least a 10 cm gap between the printed model’s top and the nozzle. This is to prevent the nozzle from scratching the model or damaging the model when it is taken out.
Wait for the build plate and nozzles to cool down to room temperature before removing any models. If you want to remove the model before they have sufficiently cooled down, please wear the heat-resistant gloves from the attached accessory box.
Hold the red protective handle (as shown in the red circle) to gently lift the printing surface, and then take out the printing surface from the printer.
Bend the printing surface repeatedly along the longer span of the model until the model is detached from the printing surface.
Note: Do not directly touch the edge of the printing surface to avoid injury. Do not over-bend the printing surface to avoid damaging the plate or causing the plate to bounce off from hands.
If the model is not entirely loose or if you feel the model is hard to remove after bending the printing surface several times, use the spatula from the attached accessory box to remove it.
Use one hand to hold the printing surface and use the other hand to scrape off the model with the spatula.
Note: We recommend placing the spatula above the plate and inserting it into the gap between the model and the plate. If the model is printed with the Raft, it is better to scrape the prints along the infill direction of the Raft. Do not put your hands in front of the spatula to prevent injury.
After the model is removed, the printing surface needs to be reinstalled onto the build plate. Gently put the printing surface to its original position by holding the red protective handle. Place the printing surface against the four side strips (as shown in the red circles), and then attach the entire printing surface to the build plate.
