Machine Installation

Installation instruction video is included in the USB flash drive

1. Heat bed pulley plate wobbles:
   Installation instruction video is included in the USB flash drive
   The Y-axis pulley plate has been adjusted before leaving the factory, but the pulleys of the machine may become loose during the transportation.
   If the printing platform of the machine shakes or loosens, you can use an open-end wrench to turn the hexagonal isolation column slowly under the platform clockwise until the Y-axis pulley plate slides smoothly without loosening or shaking. If the print  head shakes or becomes loose,The hexagonal isolation column below can be adjusted as well, and the pulleys on both sides of the Z-axis gantry also have corresponding isolation columns that can be adjusted.

Automatic Leveling

1. Before printing for the first time, platform slope and nozzle offset calibration is required.
2. Click [Control] – [Leveling] – [Recalibrate Printing Platform] on the screen. Each axis of the printer will automatically returns to the original point, and after entering the Auto leveling page, it starts to collect the height of the leveling point. During this  period, no other operations can be performed, and finally theprint head will return to the center of the platform.
3. After the leveling is completed, begin the nozzle offset calibration. Please place a piece of A4 paper between the print head and the platform, adjust the gap between the print head and the platform by clicking [Up] and [Down], and keep push and pull the A4 paper, and compensation leveling can be completed when friction is generated.

Filament Feeding

1. Please place the filament on the holder. (The USB Flash disk has the holder Gcode print file inside which can be printed by yourself.)
2. Filament Feeding Manually : Firstly, pass the filament through the filament run out detection module, and then push it into the extruder. When pushing into the extruder, pinch the side end of the spring and push in the filament until you feel some resistance  at the bottom of the print head. On the home page, click [Refill] – [Feed], The nozzle temperature will automatically preheat to 200°C, until the filament come out of the nozzle normally.
3. Filament Feeding Automatically : Firstly, pass the filament through the filament run out detection module before being advanced to the extruder. Tap the screen [Replacement] – [Feed], begin the preheat according to the prompt, then wait for the machine to automatically feed the filament, until the filaments are normally ejected from the nozzle, after the filament is ejected, click [Stop] to end the filament feeding process.

Model Printing

1. Insert the USB Flash disk into the Flash disk slot of the printer.

2. On the home page, click [Start Printing] – [Select File] – [File Preview] – [Print]. After the nozzle and the heat bed heat up to the set tempera-ture, the X, Y, and Z axis will return to the zero position and start to print the model. Note: When printing a test model, please observe how the first layer prints, if A and C appear on the first layer, it means that the compensation setting is not adjusted properly. you can enter the compensation adjustment during the printing process to  adjust the print head distance from the platform.
   If it is case B, and it proves that the nozzle and platform have reached to a good print distance, you can continue to print.
   The distance between the nozzle and the platform is too low, and the extrusion is insufficient. It is necessary to fine-tune the compensation value to make the print head lift up to a suitable distance.
   The distance between the nozzle and the platform is moderate, the amount of extrusion is moderate, and the adhesion to the platform is uniform.
   Nozzle is too high from platform, poor adhesion. It is easy to cause the model to fall off from the platform during the printing process. Thus, it is necessary to fine-tune the compensation value of the print head and drop the appropriate distance.

3. Z axis fine-tuning: When adjusting, please switch the moving distance to 0.05mm or 0.1mm  for fine-tuning to prevent the nozzle from excessively squeezing the platform or the discharge material is suspended.

4. More function adjustments during printing: [Speed], [Flow], [filament run out detection and fan activation status (uncontrollable, to prevent shutting down during printing, resulting in nozzle clogging)

5. Resume Print after Power Loss: When encountering a sudden power failure or turning off the power of the machine by mistake, if you want to resume printing, please turn on the power again, and click to resume printing after turning on the machine.  (Please note that the model adhesion effect is better when the PEI platform is heated, but the printing platform plate will cool down after a long time of power failure, and the model will fall off easily, which will make it impossible to complete the ontinuous printing)

6. Filament Runout Detection: This function is to warn the user before the filament is exhausted when the model is halfway through printing, and the filament needs to be replaced before continuing to print, which can effectively prevent the failure of the  odel to print due to lack of filament.

Motherboard Wiring

Troubleshooting Guide

1. A certain motor of X/Y/2 axis does not move or makes abnormal noise when it returns to zero.
   1. The motor wire is loose, please check the wiring again.
   2. The corresponding limit switch cannot be triggered normally. Please check whether there is interference with the movement of the corresponding axis and whether the limit switch line is loose.

2. Nozzle Extrusion Abnormal
   1. Check whether the extrusion motor wire is loose.
   2. Whether the top wire of the extrusion gear locks the motor shaft.
   3. The heat dissipation of the print head is not enough, please make sure that the heat dissipation fan of the print head is working normally.
   4. Blockage at the nozzle. Try to briefly heat the nozzle to 230°C, and manually squeeze the filament hard to remove the blockage or use a fine needle to unclog the nozzle under heating.

3. The model does not stick to the platform and warps
   1. The key to whether the model can stick to the platform is whether the filament can attach to the platform when printing the first layer. When printing the first layer, if the distance between the nozzle and the platform exceeds 0.2mm, the adhesion to the platform will be seriously reduced, and re- leveling is required.
   2. Set the printing platform attachment in the slicing software, and select the attachment type (Brim), which is beneficial to enhance the attachment and prevent warping and other problems.

4. Model dislocation
   1. The moving speed or printing speed is too fast, try to reduce the speed.
   2. The X/Y axis belt is too loose or the synchronous wheel is not fixed tightly.
   3. The driving current is too small.

5. Stringing badly
   1. The retraction distance is not enough, set the retraction distance to be larger when slicing.
   2. The retraction speed is too slow, set the retraction speed higher when slicing.
   3. Set to retract lift Z, and the lifting height is about 0.25mm when slicing.
   4. If the motor drive current is too small, the filament will have strong fluidity and paste, and the printing temperature will be lowered a little bit.
