in the right direction.
Welcome to the world of Trimatrik-1
Following this manual helps you make amazing products.
Chapter 1: Safety & Compliance

In this manual safety alarm will be marked in the start of safety message.
The safety alarm means potential safety hazards which will possibly harm
you or others and cause product or property loss.

Safety alert:

Warning 1: Don’t touch the desktop 3D printer inside when the printer is
working.

Warning 2: Make sure standby desktop 3D printer when it working.

1. Be careful when using Trimatrik-1 unapproved material, which may


damage printer and impact print quality.

2. Disconnect power plug from power socket during emergency.

3. Power socket must be located near the printer within reach.

4. Place desktop 3D printer in well-ventilated area as it will melt plastic and


emit plastic odor when printing.

Chapter 3: Print Principal

Trimatrik-1 3D printer makes solid 3 dimensional object by melting print


rite
PLA filament. The designed 3D file are converted into trimatrik-1 printer
command through computer software “Repetier-Host” and sent to the printer
via USB cable. Then the printer will heat up and melt Trimatrik PLA
filament and push it out from the nozzle to make a solid object layer by layer
.This method is called deposition modeling or FDM.
Trimatrik-1 can print directly from SD card. To print directly from SD card
follow the bellow steps
1. Load the G-code to SD card from repitier host.
2. Insert the SD card on trimatrik-1 SD port.

using USB cable to print.

Reminder during electrical connection


1. User can connect the wire to the main board base on the label
on each wire.
2. Do not connect wire supply during electrical set up.
3. Harness the wire cable after connection. Avoid wire
entanglement such no connection problem.
