To shorten the focal length, slightly turn the sliver lens screw (as shown in Figure 5.80) on the bottom of the laser kit. Figure 5.80 Adjust the laser focus y The point marked by a red box, as shown in Figure 5.81, corresponds to the position of the end-effector of the Dobot Magician. This point changes its position only within the annular area when the robotic arm moves.

Before printing, you need to test the extruder to check whether the melted filament flows from the nozzle of the extruder. The temperature of the extruder should be above 170ć. Dobot Magician will not start 3D printing until the filament is in the melting state. So you need to heat the extruder first. Set the heating temperature to 200ć on the Manual Control tab of the 1.Repetier Host page and click , as shown in Figure 5.132. DANGER The heating rod will produce high temperature up to 250ć, please be careful. Do not let children play with it alone. The process needs to be monitored when it is running.

Dobot Maigicain will not start 3D printing until the filament is in the melting state. So you need to heat the extruder first. DANGER The heating rod will produce high temperature up to 250ć, please be careful. Do not let children play with it alone. The process needs to be monitored when it is running. After the process is completed, please turn off the equipment promptly. Step 3 Test the extruder. Before printing, you need to test the extruder to check whether the melted filament flows from the nozzle of the extruder. Click the feedstock extruder or click the given stepper, such as 10, 1, 0.1 (10 is recommended) on the Operational page and feed up to 10mm-30mm, as shown in Figure 5.151.

NOTICE If the filament extrusion is in the opposite direction, please remove the filament, and turn the extruder around, then re-push down the filament. Step 4 Adjust the printing space and get printing coordinates. NOTE During printing, if the distance from Dobot Magician to the printing platform is too large or too small to paste the first layer, it can lead to the nozzle blockage. For increasing the stickiness of the first layer, placing a masking paper on the platform is recommende. Press the Unlock key on the Forearm and drag Dobot Magician to make the 1.printing head contact the surface of the masking paper(The distance between the printing head and the surface of the masking paper is the thickness of a sheet of A4 paper), then release the Unlock key.

Most of I/O interfaces have multiple functions. For details, please see 4.3 Multiplexed I/O Interface Description. You can set I/O interfaces on the advanced Teaching&Playback page to control the peripheral equipment, as shown in Figure 5.186. Figure 5.186 I/O setting page Now, demos of level output, level input, and PWM output are given below.
