5. Mwongozo wa Kuweka
The Artillery Hornet is designed for quick and easy assembly, being 95% pre-assembled. Follow these steps to complete the setup:

Figure 5.1: The printer arrives 95% pre-assembled, requiring only a few minutes for final setup.
- Kufungua: Ondoa kwa uangalifu vifaa vyote kutoka kwa kifurushi.
- Attach Gantry: Secure the pre-assembled gantry to the base unit using the provided screws. The integrated cabling simplifies this connection.
- Install Filament Holder: Mount the adjustable filament holder to the designated slot on the side of the printer.
- Unganisha Nguvu: Plug the power cable into the printer and then into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Washa: Flip the power switch located at the rear of the base unit.
- Kusawazisha Kitanda: Perform manual bed leveling as instructed on the printer's display or in the detailed guide on the included SD card. Proper bed leveling is crucial for successful prints.
6. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji
Operating the Artillery Hornet is intuitive, thanks to its one-key knob integrated switch and efficient design.
6.1. Upakiaji wa Filamenti
- Place your filament spool onto the adjustable filament holder.
- Feed the filament through the filament sensor and into the Titan Extruder.
- Heat the hotend to the appropriate temperature for your filament type (e.g., 200°C for PLA).
- Use the one-key knob to select the 'Load Filament' option. The extruder will automatically pull the filament through the hotend until it extrudes smoothly.
6.2. Kuanzisha Uchapishaji
- Tayarisha modeli yako ya 3D kwa kutumia programu ya kukata vipande (km, Cura, PrusaSlicer) na uihifadhi kama msimbo wa G file kwa kadi ya SD.
- Ingiza kadi ya SD kwenye nafasi ya kadi ya SD ya kichapishi.
- Navigate the menu using the one-key knob to 'Print from SD' and select your desired G-code file.
- The printer will automatically heat up the bed and hotend, then begin printing. The self-developed 32-bit motherboard ensures ultra-silent operation during printing.

7. Matengenezo
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Artillery Hornet 3D Printer.
- Safisha Kitanda cha Kuchapisha: After each print, clean the print bed with isopropyl alcohol to ensure good adhesion for future prints.
- Kusafisha Nozzle: Periodically clean the nozzle to prevent clogs. Use a brass brush or needle to clear any residue.
- Paka mafuta Fimbo ya mhimili wa Z: Apply a small amount of lithium grease or similar lubricant to the Z-axis lead screw every few months to ensure smooth vertical movement.
- Mikanda ya Kuangalia: Inspect the X and Y axis belts for proper tension and wear. Adjust if too loose or replace if damaged.
- Kusafisha Mashabiki: Ensure cooling fans (for hotend, part cooling, and power supply) are free from dust and debris to prevent overheating.
8. Utatuzi wa shida
Hapa kuna maswala kadhaa ya kawaida na suluhisho zao zinazowezekana:
| Tatizo | Sababu inayowezekana | Suluhisho |
|---|---|---|
| Filament not feeding | Nozzle clog, tangled filament, incorrect loading. | Clear nozzle, untangle filament, re-load filament carefully ensuring it enters the Bowden tube correctly. |
| Poor print adhesion / Prints lifting | Unleveled bed, dirty print surface, incorrect bed temperature. | Re-level the print bed, clean the print surface with isopropyl alcohol, adjust bed temperature in slicing software. |
| Layering problems / Poor print quality | Loose belts, Z-axis wobble, incorrect print settings. | Check and tighten X/Y belts, ensure Z-coupler is secure, adjust print speed and temperature settings. |
| Printer is noisy | Loose components, worn bearings. | Check all screws and connections. The 32-bit motherboard is designed for silent operation, but external factors can cause noise. |
| Masuala ya joto kupita kiasi | Blocked cooling fans. | Ensure all cooling fans are clear of obstructions and functioning correctly. |
