¶ How to print with Magneto X
¶ Introduction
This Wiki covers on how to print with Magneto X.
¶ 1.Extruder function and how to Load and Unload Filaments
¶ 2.What is the recommended software
For the best experience, we recommend using OrcaSlicer. Please refer this link to download OrcaSlicer for Magneto X
¶ 3.Supported Filament
- Lancer PLA-C
- Lancer PETG-C
The above consumables have been configured with print parameters in Orcaslicer, and after opening slicer, you could directly select the material to start printing.
¶ 4.How to Calibrate printer profile for Filament
Please refer this wiki
¶ 5.How to consider use of enclosure
When printing the following materials, sealing must be used:
- ABS
- ASA
- PA
If you print mostly PLA and PETG, enclosure is option.
If the room temperature of your printer is low (lower than 15 degrees), we also recommend enclosure.
Please refer this wiki doc, learn more about enclosure.
¶ 6.What to apply on the PEI sheet before each print
¶ 1.Check and clean the print bed
Before printing, please check that your heated bed is clean and there is no printing residue on it.
If there is dust or other debris, please:
- Gently wipe the PEI print bed with a soft cloth containing 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). This helps remove grease, dirt, and other impurities.
- If the PEI surface is very dirty, you can use warm water and mild dish soap. Wipe gently with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly.
¶ 2 Apply a thin coat of glue stick for PEI
Before printing with the Magneto X, please applying a thin coat of glue stick to ensure that the first layer sticks to the PEI platform.
¶ 2.Bed temperature setting
PLA material: It is recommended that the bed temperature be set between 60 and 70°C.
ABS material: Recommended bed temperature is approximately 110°C.
Please adjust the bed temperature setting appropriately for the specific material and brand you are using. Different brands of the same material may have different optimal bed temperatures.
¶ 3. Environmental control
Try to print in an environment without airflow, because airflow may cause the printed material to cool too quickly and affect the adhesion of the first layer.
For unsealed printers, please make sure the doors and windows are closed to avoid the impact of cold airflow.

¶ 8.How to remove print
¶ 1. Wait for Cooling
Before attempting to remove the model, wait for both the print bed and the model to completely cool down. PEI beds generally release most of their adhesive grip when cooled, making it easier to remove the model.
¶ 2.Gently Twist the Model
If the model is small and has a limited contact area with the bed, you can try gently twisting the model to see if it easily comes off.
¶ 3.Use Appropriate Tools
For models that adhere tightly, use specialized print removal tools, such as a plastic spatula or scraper, to help dislodge the model. Ensure that the tool's edge is smooth and not sharp to avoid scratching the PEI surface.
¶ 4.Apply Even Force
When using a tool, apply even force along the edges of the model rather than exerting force at a single point to minimize damage to both the PEI bed and the model.
¶ 5.Avoid Excessive Force
If the model is particularly difficult to remove, do not apply excessive force. Consider reheating the bed for a few minutes to help loosen the adhesion.
¶ 6.Clean the PEI Bed After Use
After removing the model, gently clean the PEI bed with a soft cloth for the next use.
By following these steps, you should be able to safely remove models from a PEI print bed while protecting both the bed and the model from damage. Remember, patience and careful handling are key.
