Notes

  1. Do not use the printer in any way other than described herein in order to avoid personal injury or property damage.

  2. Do not place the printer near any heat source or flammable or explosive object. We suggest placing it in a wellventilated, shady and low-dust environment.

  3. Do not expose the printer to a vibrant or any unstable environment, as this may cause poor print quality.

  4. We suggest using filaments recommended by manufacturer to avoid the blocking of extrusion structure and the damage of machine.

  5. Do not use any other power cord except the one supplied. Always use a grounded three-prong power outlet.

  6. Do not touch the nozzle or hotbed during printing to avoid burns or personal injury.

  7. Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating the printer. Such cloths may become tangled in the printers moving parts to lead to burns, possible bodily injury or printer damage.

  8. When cleaning debris from the printer hotbed, always use the provided tools. Do not touch the nozzle directly when heated. This can cause personal injury.

  9. Clean the printer frequently. Always turn the power off when cleaning, and wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust, adhered printing plastics or any other material off the frame, guide rails, or wheels. Use glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to clean the print surface before every print for consistent results.

  10. Children under 10 years of age should not use the printer without supervision.
    Notes

  11. This machine is equipped with a security protection mechanism. Do not manually move the nozzle and printing platform mechanism manually while booting up, otherwise the device will automatically power off for safety!

Loading Filament

Preheat

  • Method 1
    Preheat

  • Method 2.
    Preheat
    Preheat

  • Feeding
    Preheat

  • Go through the filament detector to press and hold the extruder spring. Insert the filament to the position of nozzle through the hole on the extruder. Continue feeding until you see filament extrude from the nozzle.

Replacing Filament During Printing:

  1. Cut the filament near the extruder and feed new filament slowly until new filament is fed into the feeding pipe. (Or)
  2. Preheat the nozzle and replace the used filament with new filament.

Bed Leveling

  1. Tighten four leveling nuts at the bottom of the platform before initial leveling.

  2. Select “Settings” → “Leveling Mode” → “Assisted Leveling”, click number ②
    Bed Leveling

  3. Adjust the platform height by turning the knob underneath. Adjust the printing platform and nozzle to enable the two to just fit each other perfectly with a gap of 0.05mm. Use a piece of A4 paper to assist with the leveling to make sure that the nozzle just scratches on this A4 paper.

  4. Adjust all leveling nuts with four corners.

  5. Click number ① to test if the platform gap is proper.
    Bed Leveling

  6. Repeat above steps once or twice if necessary

The nozzle is too far away from the platform, so the filament fails to adhere to the platform.
Bed Leveling

Filament is extruded evenly to adhere to the platform.
Bed Leveling

The nozzle is too close to the platform, and the filament is not extruded insufficiently, and even the platform is scratched.
Bed Leveling
