Ender-3-Max-Neo-3D-Printer-7

Please ensure the correct position for the power supply switch and mains before supply connection, in order to avoid damage to the device.
If the mains between 100V and 120V, please select the 115V for the power supply switch.
If the mains between 200V and 240V, please select the 230V for the power supply switch(default is 230V).

Initialization Settings

Enter “Control → Reset conﬁguration” to reset the printer parameters.
Enter “Prepare→ Auto Home” and return to the starting position.
Enter “Prepare → Move → Move Z”, and clear the value.
Enter “Prepare→Z-oﬀset”, adjust the Z-axis compensation value so that the height from the nozzle to the platform is almost the thickness of a piece of A4 paper (0.08-0.1mm), click the knob to conﬁrm, and complete the center point leveling.
Enter “Prepare → Disable stepper” to turn oﬀ all enabled motors.
Adjust the knob at the bottom of the hotbed, move the nozzle the four corners of the printing platform, so that the height of the nozzle to the printing platform ensure that the four corners are leveled.

Automatic leveling

Turn on the equipment and select “Level”.Default operation: The printer ﬁrst automatically returns home for automatic calibration of 25 points, and then returns home again to complete the leveling.
Enter “Prepare→Z-oﬀset”, adjust the Z-axis compensation value so that the height from the nozzle to the printing platform is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper (0.08-0.1mm), click the knob to conﬁrm, and the Z-axis compensation value is determined successfully.

The nozzle is so far away from the platform that the ﬁlaments can’t attach to the platform.

Filaments are extruded evenly, just sticking on the platform.

The nozzle is so close to the platform that the ﬁlaments are not extruded enough, or even scratch the platform.

Filling the Filament

When you are waiting for the temperature to rise, hang the consumables on the rack.
Press and hold the extrusion spring and insert the ﬁlaments into the nozzle position along the extruder hole. When the temperature reaches the set target value, you can see that there are ﬁlaments ﬂowing out of the nozzle and the loading is completed.

In order to successfully load the ﬁlament, the end of the ﬁlament should be in the position as shown in the ﬁgure.

Replacing the Filaments:

When the printer starts printing, cut the ﬁlaments near the extruder and feed the ﬁlaments slowly until they are fed into the printer’s pipe.
After the printer has ﬁnished printed and been cooled, heat the nozzle to 185℃+, then take out ﬁlaments , and replace the ﬁlaments following step 1.
Replace ﬁlaments during printing and adjust the printing speed to 10%, and then replace the ﬁlaments following step 2.

Start Printing

Double click to install the software and open.
Select language→Next→Select your machine→Next→Finish.
Open Creality 3D slicer→ Load(Read ﬁle)→Select ﬁle.
Generate G-code，and save the gcode ﬁle to storage card.
Insert the storage card ，print and then select the ﬁle to be print.
