Caution

Do not connect or disconnect the cables when the machine is powered on.

Bed Leveling

Slelct “Level” to automatically level
After the leveling is completed, adjust the Z-axis compensation value according to the adhesion of the printing consumables and the glass

During the leveling process, please do not touch the Teﬂon tube and nozzle cable.

Preheating Method

Method 1

Notes: The interface of the manual of instruction is only for reference, and the actual interface shall be subject to the display of the machine.
Method 2

Notes: The print preheating standard is adjusted at the factory, PLA preheating standard: nozzle temperature 200 °, hot bed temperature 60 °, ABS preheating standard: nozzle temperature 240 °, hot bed temperature 70 °.If you need to adjust it due to printing materials or other reasons, you can adjust the parameters on the interface home page control → temperature → PLA / ABS preheat setting.

Load Filament

When you wait for the temperature to rise, hang the ﬁlament over the Filament Holder.
For loading ﬁlament smoothly, the end of the ﬁlament should be placed as shown above.

Installation method of threading ﬁxture:

Clamp the threading ﬁxture to the position shown in the ﬁgure as the ﬁgure shows.
Thread the consumable through the consumable run-out detection box, then the threading ﬁxture and ﬁnally into the extruder.

When it reaches the target temperature, insert the ﬁlament into the small hole of the Extruder until it reaches the nozzle through the ﬁlament cutting detection module. If the ﬁlament ﬂows out from the nozzle, it presents that the ﬁlament is properly loaded.
The method of extrusion spring adjustment: turn right to loosen turn left to tighten (as shown in Fig. A)

Tips: How to replace the filament?

Cutting filament near the Extruder and slowly feed new filament until they are fed into the new filament.
Withdrawing the filament quickly and feeding the new filament after nozzle preheated and filament pushed a little forward.
