NOTICE
y If you cannot set the laser to be at its minimum focus, it’s probably because the
focal length is long. To shorten the focal length, slightly turn the sliver lens screw
(as shown in Figure 5.80) on the bottom of the laser kit.

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.

Step 1
Launch the DobotStudio, and select the COM port, and then click Connect.
If the current firmware of the Dobot Magician is the 3D Printing firmware instead
of the Dobot firmware, the Select tool dialog box is displayed, asking if you want
to switch to the Dobot firmware. In this case, perform the following steps to switch
to this firmware.
1. Select DobotStudio to upgrade the Dobot firmware, as shown in Figure 5.86.
The Question dialog box is displayed.

Danger
When using a laser, wear lasing protective eyeglass.
Never aim the laser at a person’s eye and clothes or stare at the laser from
within the beam.
In the central laser focus, a high-temperature heat is created and can burn
materials such as papers and wooden boards.
Never aim the laser at a person and their clothes.
Do not allow the children to play with the Dobot Magician. Monitor the
robotic arm while it is running and power off it once the movement is
complete.
Figure 5.97
Step 2
Select the Laser
Adjust the laser focus.
Press and hold the unlock button
on the Forearm to move the robotic arm to
raise and lower the height of the laser kit until the laser is the brightest with a
smallest possible spot size. When the laser power level is high enough, the laser
beam can burn and cut the paper. After getting a pretty good focus, unselect Laser
on the Operation Panel page to turn off the laser, as shown in Figure 5.98.

3D printing process
During 3D printing, the 3D printing control software is required. You can use Repetier Host
or Cura software for 3D printing.
y Reptier-Host: Reptier-Host can slice with the third party slicing (such as
CuraEngine, Slic3r, etc), check and modify G-Code, control 3D printing manually.
More parameter settings make Reptier-Host very flexible.
y Cure: The slicing of Cura is fast and stable. It has strong inclusiveness to 3D
model structure and less parameter settings.
NOTICE
This section uses Windows as an example to describe how to perform 3D printing with
Repetier Host and Cura. For Mac OS, only Cura is supported.

Text extruder.
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.
1. Set the heating temperature to 200ć on the Manual Control tab of the
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.
After the process is completed, please turn off the equipment promptly.

turn the extruder around, then re-push down the filament.
Step 4
Adjust the printing space and get the 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
recommended.
1. Press the Unlock key on the Forearm and drag Dobot Magician to make the
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

The temperature of the extruder should be above 170ć. Dobot Maigicain will
not start 3D printing until the filament is in the melting state. So you need to
heat the extruder first.

is 0° after homing, where the homing point is the system default. Namely, the Forearm is located
at the middle in front of the base.
If the J1-coordinate is not 0° (error range: 1e-3e) after homing, you need to re-calibrate the
base Encoder.

levelling to improve the positioning accuracy.
y Manual Levelling: It is more accurate to calibrate manually with DobotStudio,
