Tips: the above accessories are for reference only, please refer to the physical accessories!

Install the Gantry Frame

Pull Rod Installation

Adjust the proper length of assembled pull rod and install in the position shown in the figure
10 M5×12 Hexagon flat round head screw x2

11 M5x20 Hexagon flat round head screws x2

 Install the Rack

 Install Limit switch for Z-axis

Easier to replace the platform and adjust the belt

1. Rotate the glass pick-and-place handle plate for platform replacement.
2. Then manually turn the knob to the appropriate tightness to avoid belt breakage. (as shown in figure A, three places)
   

Cable Connection

Cable Connection

1. Connect the 15pin port to the nozzle adapter board as shown in the figure 15pin
2.  Connect Z-axis motor cable
3. Connect the photoelectric switch wire
4. Connect the power cord

Bed Leveling

1. Slelct“Level”to automatically level
2. 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

Notes: The UI information is only for reference,the actual UI may be different.

Preheating Method

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.

Load Filament

Whe the current temperature reaches the target temperature,the consumables pass the material breakage detection,and are inserted into the small hole of the extruder until the position of the nozzle,If the consumables flow out at the nozzle,it means that the consumables have been loaded. Method of adjusting the tightness of the extrusion spring:Arrow to right is tightening,arrow to left is lossen.(As shown in figure A)

Tips: How to replace the filament?

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

Low odor, high precision, detail textures are very expressive. Good fluidity, high printing success rate. Rich colors, to meet the customer’s color needs, preferred for
animation manual, craft furnishing industry, etc..
ABS Like Resin
With high hardness, high toughness of physical properties and strong impact resistance, it can be directly drilled on the finished models, mainly used in industrial prototype and other fields.
Dental Cast Resin
Low shrinkage, due to the low shrinkage characteristics, the size is more accurate. It’s not easy to deform under pressure after molding. Used for making porcelain teeth.
Elastic Resin Elastic Resin features good elasticity after high-strength extruding or stretching, widely applied to damping and contacting surfaces, etc., preferred to be used by
people full of originality and ideas in design.
Water Washable Resin
The model can be washed with water directly, and it’s safe, environmentally friendly, with high surface accuracy, short cleaning time and low material cost.
Water Washable Resin is currently one of the favorite new materials for schools, educational institutions and printing enthusiasts.
Dental Mode Resin
The surface hardness is extremely high, scratch-resistant, and has low shrinkage characteristics. It is mainly used in dental implant restoration and invisible braces printing in medical dentistry.
Toughness Resin
Toughness Resin is a medium-hard, wear-resistant, and repeatedly stretchable material. It is used in parts which need to be repeatedly stretched in friction devices.
High-Temperature Resin
High-Temperature Resin is mainly used in making high temperature rubber molds, which can withstand temperatures of about 200℃ without cracking and maintain
good strength, stiffness and thermal stability.
Jewelry Cast Resin
Widely applied to jewelry industry. Excellent combustion performance, low expansion coefficient, combustion without residue. Forming process is stable without
deformation. The finished product has smooth surface and high precision.
