（ 1 ）Platform Leveling， The first time to use this printer, you need to level the platform Please adjust the distance between the nozzle and the platform in 1，2，3，4， points, the distance should be just the thickness of a sheet of paper. ( Please do this leveling with the help of adults.)
a), Click the button , Z axis will go home position. After Z-axis comes to the home position, please turn off the power, after turning off the power, then you can move the X-axis, and Y-axis by hand

b), Move the nozzle to 1 point, And put a sheet of paper between the nozzle and the platform, if the distance is too far, turn the hand-twisted nut counter-clockwise to make the printing platform rise to the standard distance. If the distance between the nozzle and the platform is too close, turn the hand-twisted nut clockwise to make the printing platform fall to the standard distance, (check whether the distance is right or not .that is, when drawing the A4 sheet, the nozzle should be attached to the A4 sheet without scratching it).
c), do the same way to adjust another 1，2，3， three points。
d), When the distance between the nozzle and the platform is the right distance in 1,2,3,4, four points, leveling is finished and succeeded.
Please turn on the power again after platform leveling

（2 ）Load Filament, feed

Note: Make sure the distance between the nozzle and printing bed is 3cm at least. If not enough space, press the button hold for 3 seconds then release, Z axis will go up 1cm (  when the printer power on, press for 3 seconds then release, every time the nozzle will

（3）Print
Insert the TF card into the printer, click the button, and the button light will flash, Please be patient and wait about 2 minutes, and printing starts( the Printer will choose the latest code file to print automatically).

（4）Pause/Restore
during printing, Click , the button light stops flashing, then printing pauses.
I need to continue printing, Click to restore, the button light flashes again, the printer goes back to print.

（5） Stop Print
If you want to stop print during printing, press the button for 3 seconds then release it, the machine will stop printing, then printing canceled.

（6）Unload Filament, Retract
If users want to change filament or keep the machine stop working for quite a long time, then need to unload the filament, Click the button, and the light inside will flash, Please be patient and wait about 2 minutes , the motor inside the head will work and draw out the filament, after that, take out the filament from the print head. Click again to finish the  Retract.
After printing, remove the platform, and easy to take off the object.

The high-quality filament is preferred to be used.
Various filaments are available on the market, and the quality is much different too. the poor quality filament may cause broken or nozzle jam, Pls choose Easythreed high-quality filament.

Safety Warning
Burning, keep your fingers away from the NOZZLE and BLACK INSULATOR when the printer is working as the temperature in this area reaches over 200 Celsius degrees.  Always be sure to keep your hands away from moving parts when Mercury is working.

FAQ

Q1: Why is the printing model not adhesive to the printing bed?
A1: The nozzle is too far away from the bed, the proper distance between the nozzle and bed is the thickness of a piece of A4 paper.
Q2: Why the filament does not come out from the nozzle?
A1: Check the filament feeder. If it’s an external gear feeder, then observe whether the gear rotates or not. If it’s a built-in stepper motor feeder, then observe if the motor is working with a little sound. Otherwise, check if the filament feeder is connected to its main board well.
A2, Check temperature.
The printing nozzle temperature of PLA material ranges from 200-230 ℃.
A3, Check if the nozzle is blocked.
Heat the nozzle to 230℃ for PLA, and push the filament gently, if there is still no filament coming out, then need to disassemble the nozzle, and clean or replace it .
A4, Check if the nozzle is too close to the platform, if so, the filament can not come out, so adjust the distance between nozzle and platform with a piece of A4 paper.
Q3, The problem of print model misplaced
A1, The model did not slice properly, need to re-slice or change the model position to generate a new Gcode file.
A2, The model file problem, if the model is still misplaced after re-slicing, it’s the original file problem.
A3, the nozzle is forced to stop printing Path:
First, make sure you have not touched the nozzle when the machine is printing.
Second, if there is filament residue on the top layer, the residue area will become larger gradually, when it accumulates to a certain amount and become stiffer enough, the nozzle will be forced to move abnormally.
A4, the Power supply is not stable
Check if large power electrical equipment is working while the machine is printing, dislocation happens when some equipment turns off such as an air conditioner, if so, you need to connect a voltage stabilizer to the printer power supply. Otherwise, observe if the nozzle is blocked at a certain position, if so, the power supply on X, Y,Z axes are
not even, then need to adjust the X, Y, and Z electric current on the mainboard.
A5 , If the above solution can not solve the misplace problem, the dislocation mostly happens at the same height for various models, then need to change the motherboard.
Q4, Why the printing accuracy is quite different from the real model
A1, There is a lot of filament piled up on the model surface
A1.1, Nozzle temperature is too high, filament melt too fast and caused overflowing.
A1.2, The filament flow is too large, there is a filament flow setting in slice software, change the default value from 100% to be 80%.
A1.3, Filament diameter setting problem, it’s in slice software, the default settings are different, there are both
1.75mm and 3mm filament on the market, for 1.75mm, the diameter should be 1.75, but for 3mm, the diameter should be 2.85 or 2.95.
A2 , Poor surface after removing the support for FDM technology.
A2.1, The support density should be as lower as possible, 10% is proper, and it’s easy to remove.
A2.2, Trim the model with a grinding tool, rub gently with a towel and dip a little acetone, make sure to wear gloves beforehand, and do not wipe too long to cause the appearance affected or dimension to change.
A3 , The inappropriate distance between the platform and nozzle.
A3.1, The first layer is not formed, or the models are without edges or corners if the distance is too large.
A3.2, The nozzle will scratch the platform and no filament come out of the nozzle if the distance is too close, the proper distance is the thickness of an A4 paper.
A4, The inappropriate printing filament
With the maturity of 3d printing, various filaments are available on the market, but the compatibility between filaments and printers is particularly important.
