Introduction

THUNDER is a high speed FDM 3D printer with a printing speed of up to 300mm/s. After two years of research and development and testing by GEEETECH engineers, it has achieved high speed printing while ensuring excellent printing quality. It is an excellent 3D printer that can save a lot of precious time for 3D printing enthusiasts.

Notice

•Please read this document carefully to ensure that you understand each installation step, which will improve the efficiency of your assembly and reduce errors;

•Before starting the power supply, ensure that the voltage range of the power supply is consistent with the local voltage used by the user to prevent power damage;

•Please place the printer in a spacious, flat and ventilated environment. If you do not use the machine for a long time, please pay attention to waterproof and moisture-proof protection for the printer;

•Do not touch any moving parts while the printer is running to avoid personal injury;

•Do not touch the nozzle and hot bed when the printer is working, so as not to cause burns;

•When using the touch screen in the printing process, please pay attention to the movement of the hot bed to prevent the hot bed from hitting your fingers;

•Please use the printer in the environment of 10~40℃, otherwise the printing will be adversely affected;

•Before using the 3D printer, please level the hot bed first. Thunder is equipped with 3D-Touch automatic leveling accessory. Please install the 3D-Touch before leveling the hot bed.You can also use manual hot-bed leveling if you do not have 3D-Touch installed.

Cura Configuration File

The THUNDER printing speed can reach 300mm/s. In order to ensure the printing quality even in high speed, the correct setting of slicing parameters is essential. We recommend the Cura slicing software and provide the THUNDER configuration file for Cura slicing software on this page.

Cura slicing software download link: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura

We offered 2 configuration files for THUNDER, see below about importing file to Cura software.

For Cura 4.x version, the import path for the two configuration files is:

"geeetech_Mizar_Pro.def.json" put into

C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.13.1\resources\definitions

File:Config1.png

"geeetech_Mizar_Pro_extruder.def" put into

C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.13.1\resources\extruders
