Installing the 3D Printer

4.1 Gantry Frame Installation
A. Place the gantry frame in the slot of the base frame, and pre-lock it with two M5x45 hexagon socket head spring washer combination screws from the bottom to the top.
B. Place the gantry frame in the slot of the base frame, and pre-lock it with two M5x45 hexagon socket head spring washer combination screws from the bottom to the top.
C. Rotate the bottom component by 180° to ensure that the profiles on both sides are level. Use two M5x45 hexagon socket head spring washer combination screws to align the holes on the left side to pre-lock the holes first, and then tighten to fix them.
D. Rotate the bottom component by 180°, and tighten the screw on the right side.
To tighten the screw, put the short side of the wrench into the screw and secure it.

4.2 Installing display screen
A. Place the display screen assembly on the side of the right profile, snap it into the profile in parallel and tighten the screws;
B. Connect the display screen wiring.

4.3 Installing material rack
A. Fix the material rack and barrel assembly to the profile, as shown in the diagram below.

4.4 Cable Connection

| X, E, Z-axis motor port
---|---
| X-axis limit switch

A. Put the indication knob directly onto the motor shaft;
B1. Follow the yellow label on the 6pin (4 wires) port to connect the X-axis stepper motor;
B2. Follow the yellow label on the 6pin (4 wires) port to connect the E-axis stepper motor;
B3. Follow the yellow label on the 6pin (4 wires) port to connect the Z-axis stepper motor;
C. Follow the yellow label on the 3pin (2 wires) port to connect the X axis limit switch;
D. Plug in the power cord and toggle the switch to turn on the power.

Caution

• Before powering on, be sure to select the correct voltage mode according to the local grid voltage to avoid burning out the power supply;
• If the local power grid voltage is within 100-120V,
• If the local power grid voltage is within 200-240V, please dial the power supply of the machine to 230V (it is 230V by default). please dial the power supply of the machine to 115V;

4.5 Adjusting pulley tightness
A. Check the pulley looseness before switching on the machine.
X/Y/Z axis pulley adjustment: Gently turn the pulley to check whether it is idling or jammed. If this phenomenon occurs, use an open-end wrench to adjust the tightness of the hexagonal eccentric isolation column to make it rotate smoothly.

Auto Leveling

5.1 Power up the appliance and select “Leveling”
Default: After the printer has first automatically returned to the home position for auto-calibration, and after 16 points of data calibration, the printer will return to the home position again and the levelling process is complete.

5.2 Go to “Prepare → Z-offset”, adjust the Z-axis compensation value so that the height of the nozzle to the printing platform is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper (0.08-0.1mm); then, click the knob and the Z-axis compensation value is thus successfully determined.

Auxiliary levelling

6.1 Go to “Control → Reset configuration” to reset the printer parameters.

6.2 Go to “Prepare → Auto home” to return to the starting position.

6.3 Go to “Prepare → Move → Move Z” and reset.

6.4 Go to “Prepare → Z-offset”, adjust the Z-axis compensation value so that the height of the nozzle to the platform is almost the thickness of A4 paper (0.08-0.1mm); then, click the knob, and the central point leveling is done.

6.5 Go to “Prepare → Disable stepper” to switch off all motor enables.

6.6 Adjust the knob at the bottom of the hotbed and move the nozzle to the four corners of the printing platform, respectively, so that the height of the nozzle to the printing platform is approximately the thickness of A4 paper (0.08-0.1mm). Make sure that the four corners are properly leveled.

| | The nozzle is too far away from the platform, so the filaments can not adhere to the platform.
---|---|---
| | Filaments are extruded evenly, just sticking on the platform.
| | The nozzle is too close to the platform, leading to insuficient filament extrusion, even scraping the platform.

Load resin

7.1 When you wait for the temperature to rise, hang the filament over the filament rack.
7.2 Press the extrusion clamp and insert the filaments along the extruder hole up to the nozzle. When the temperaturehits the target value, a flow of filaments can be seen at the nozzle, meaning that the filaments have been loaded.

For smoother printing, the end of the filament should be cut as shown above.
Replacement of filaments:

1. When the printer is not under work:
   A. Heat the nozzle to above 185°C first, wait for the filaments inside the nozzle to soften, then press the extrusion handle and pull out the filaments quickly to prevent them from getting stuck at the heat break;
   B. Replace the new filaments onto the material rack and repeat the loading procedure in 7.

2. When the printer is working:
   A. Suspend printing first and, once the printer has stopped, press the extrusion handle to pull the filaments out quickly and prevent them from getting stuck at the heat break;
   B. Replace the new filaments onto the material rack, press the extrusion handle, insert the filaments through the extruder feed hole into the nozzle, then push the filaments hard to squeeze out the residual filaments from the nozzle, and clean it up for printing.

First Printing

The file name must only contain Latin letters and digits.
Chinese characters or special symbols must not be used.
Note: For details on using the software, please refer to the slicing software user manual in the storage card.
