5. תפעול
Operating your FlashForge Finder is designed to be straightforward. Here are the basic steps:
- התקנת תוכנה: Install the FlashPrint software from the included USB stick or download the latest version from the official FlashForge webאֲתַר.
- הכנת דגם:
- פתח את המודל התלת-ממדי שלך file (e.g., .STL, .OBJ) in FlashPrint.
- Adjust print settings such as layer height, infill density, and support structures as needed.
- פרוס את המודל כדי ליצור את קוד ה-G file להדפסה.
- מעביר Files: Transfer the generated G-code file to the printer using one of the following methods:
- דיסק און קי: Save the G-code to a USB stick and insert it into the printer's USB port.
- כבל יו אס בי: Connect the printer to your computer via USB cable and transfer the file יָשִׁירוֹת.
- Wi-Fi/Cloud: Use the FlashPrint software to send the file wirelessly to the printer or via Cloud connectivity.
- Starting a Print:
- On the printer's touchscreen, select the desired G-code file.
- Confirm the print settings and initiate the print job. The printer will begin heating the extruder and then start printing.
- Monitoring the Print: Observe the initial layers to ensure proper adhesion to the build plate. Monitor the print progress via the touchscreen.
6. תחזוקה
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FlashForge Finder 3D Printer:
- ניקוי משטח הבנייה: After each print, clean the build plate to remove any residue. Use a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol if necessary.
- ניקוי חרירים: Periodically check the nozzle for clogs. Use the provided tools to clear any blockages.
- Lubricate Guide Rods: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the guide rods every few months to ensure smooth movement of the print head.

7. פתרון תקלות
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your FlashForge Finder 3D Printer:
| בְּעָיָה | סיבה אפשרית | פִּתָרוֹן |
|---|---|---|
| ההדפסה לא נדבקת ללוח הבנייה | Improper bed leveling, dirty build plate, insufficient adhesion. | Re-level the build plate using the assisted leveling function. Clean the build plate thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of solid glue (included) or painter's tape to the build plate for better adhesion. |
| פילמנט לא בולט | פיה סתומה, חוט סבוך, טמפרטורה לא נכונה. | Clear the nozzle using the provided cleaning needle. Ensure filament is not tangled and feeds smoothly. Verify extruder temperature settings in FlashPrint match PLA requirements (typically 190-220°C). |
| Poor print quality (e.g., layer shifting, rough surfaces) | Loose belts, incorrect print speed, filament quality, model issues. | Check and tighten any loose belts. Reduce print speed. Try a different brand of PLA filament. Ensure the 3D model is not corrupted. |
| Printer not connecting via Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi settings, network interference. | Double-check Wi-Fi password and network name on the printer's touchscreen. Ensure the printer is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart both the printer and your router. |
