First steps

1. What Revo OS is

Revo OS is the control system of Revon printers. Underneath runs Klipper (the Kalico edition) – the software that drives the motors and heaters. On top of it Revotech built everything the operator touches:

• the machine touchscreen with the OrionUI look – status, temperatures, printing, filament, nozzle, machine test,
• Revo Panel – the same machine in a browser on a computer, tablet or phone, with camera, history and costs,
• the Revo agent – watches heater safety, counts filament and part wear, runs self-diagnostics and (with your consent) sends notifications to service,
• Revo Library – guides, a materials table, a glossary and test models, available straight from the screen.

You prepare print files in Orca Slicer – with your own profiles or the ready-made Revotech profiles. The machine prints only files from [r]evo Slicer and Orca Slicer.

2. Safety

• E-STOP (emergency stop) – on the motion screen, during printing, on the lock screen and in Revo Panel. Hold it for 1 second: the machine stops motors and heating immediately. Afterwards restart it with the button on the screen or by cycling the power.
• The nozzle heats up to 300°C, the bed/belt up to 100°C. Do not touch the toolhead or the bed during and right after printing.
• Keep the chamber door closed while printing. With ABS and ASA, ventilate the room. With PLA and PETG the machine tells you when to open the door (chapter 10).
• Do not leave the machine unattended during the first print with a new material. Revo OS watches heating (an alarm when the bed heats by itself or overheats) and the chamber temperature.
• Work inside the electronics is done only by Revotech service, with the power disconnected.

3. How to read the screen

Colours

Windows and hexagons

The screen is made of windows with a title bar (a red square ■ and a name, e.g. SCHEMATIC VIEW – the machine drawing, TELEMETRY – readings). Temperatures are shown as hexagons made of dots: the more dots light up, the closer the target temperature. The vertical bar on the left edge has the colour of the machine state – visible from across the room.

Bottom bar

Every screen has at the bottom: ⟲ (back), ▦ (home screen) and ⏻ (power – shut down or restart, confirmed with a second tap). Buttons that change something in the machine usually need a second tap too.

4. First start

The first start takes about fifteen minutes (plus about 20 minutes for the machine test).

1. Wizard – on first start the screen guides you step by step (STEP 1 / 5): WELCOME, network, consents, installed nozzle and machine test. LET'S START begins, NEXT moves on.
2. Network – a LAN cable is the most reliable. Set up Wi-Fi in Menu → More → Network: pick the network from the list and enter the password. The machine IP address is shown on the top bar of the screen.
3. License – you get the license number (REVO-XXXX-…) from Revotech with the machine. Enter it once in Menu → More → License and tap ACTIVATE. It works without internet too.
4. Consents – the machine asks whether to send error notifications to Revotech (recommended – help comes faster) and work statistics. Machine state and working hours are always sent. Change consents in Revo Panel → Service.
5. Nozzle – select the installed nozzle: DIAMETER and material (Brass, Hardened steel, Tungsten).
6. Manager account in Revo Panel – on the screen open Menu → More → Operator: a 6-digit code valid for 10 minutes appears. In the browser enter the machine address (e.g. http://192.168.0.38), choose CODE FROM SCREEN, enter the code and create the manager account (name, login, 4–8 digit PIN).
7. Machine test – finally run the full test (chapter 16). We do it at handover and after every transport.

Panel on phone – Menu → More → Panel on phone shows a QR code. Scan it with a phone on the same network and Revo Panel opens.
