Precautions

1. Do not place the 3D Magic Printer near flammables, explosives or heat sources. It is best to place it in a well-ventilated, low-dust environment.
2. Take care to avoid touching hot parts, including but not limited to heat blocks, extruder nozzle, extruded filament, or the hot bed. filament, or the hot bed.
3. Do not expose the Printer to violent vibration or any unstable environment.
4. The filaments recommended by the manufacturer are preferred as to avoid clogging in the hot end, or damaging the Printer.
5. Do not use any other power cable, other than the one supplied. Use a grounded power outlet.
6. Do not keep the nozzle or bed working continuously more than 96 hours at high temperature. Ensure 1-3 hours break between use.
7. Clean off filament from the nozzle tip with the provided pliers before the nozzle cools. Do not touch the nozzle directly. This can cause personal injury.
8. Clean the Printer frequently. With the machine powered off, clean the printer body with a dry cloth to remove dust, adhered printing materials and foreign objects on guide rails. For consistent results, use glass cleaner or isopropyl Alcohol to clean the print surface before every print.

Assembly Process

JGMAKER has improved the overall assembly process for you. The main components have been assembled at the factory, in order to simplify the user assembly experience.

• Z-axis unit mounted Mount the two 2040 aluminum profiles to each side of the base with the M5*40 screws, using the Allen wrench. Make sure that the stepper motor faces the back of the Printer.
  Note: Do not fully tighten the screws on the bottom, leave a little loose for future adjustment.

• X-Axis unit mounted

  1. Insert the timing belt into the slot before mounting the extruder. Make sure the Timing belt’s geared side faces down.
  2. Mount the extruder on the X-axis unit and hook the belt on the slot underneath extruder.
  3. Tighten the screw to make sure that the belt is straight, but also with enough tension.

Mount the X-axis assembly unit to the Z-axis unit, ensuring that all rubber wheels are in the slot properly, and are able to glide through the slot up and down smoothly.

Note : We recommend putting the folded packing materials on the bed to let the hot end rest on it.

Mount the 2020 aluminum profile-340 and secure it in position with screw M525 and wrench.
Note: If you find the screws cannot be properly tightened, please try to adjust the screws on the bottom that you’ ve previously left slightly loose, and the tighten up again.

Attach the decorative cover , and secure with the M58 screw and wrench

Insert the threaded rod through the coupler and then tighten up with screw M5*8 and wrench.
Note: Please loose the upper screw on the bottom before threaded rod is inserted and then tighten up the screw to ensure normal operation.

Mount the filament sensor module to the X-axis right pulley.

Mount the Z-axis limit switch to the Z-axis. It can also be mounted prior to the Z-axis assembly.

Mount the spool holder to the base as shown to the left. The spool holder can also be mounted after you are done wiring the printer.

Introduction To Printer Operation

• Control Panel
  

• Control Panel

Prepare: Auto home, preheat, cooling, disable steppers and change filament, etc.
Control: Advanced settings for setting temperature, motion and filament.
Print from SD: Only showed when SD card is inserted.
Preheat PLA/ABS: Preheat both nozzle and hot bed.
Preheat PLA/ABS/ END: Preheat nozzle only.
Preheat PLA/ABS BED: Preheat hot bed only.

• Function introduction
  
  

** Move X/Y/Z axis
Move X: Nozzle moves along the X axis. X+ means away from the ZERO point while X- means the opposite.
Move   Y: Nozzle moves along the Y ax is. Y+ means away from the ZERO point while Y- means the opposite.
Move Z: Nozzle moves along the Z axis. Z+ means away from the ZERO point while Z- means the opposite.
Extruder: Manually load or unload filament.
Move 10/1/0.1mm: Rotate the control knob to set the units for each move.


Auto home: Both nozzle and hot bed go back to ZERO point.
Disable steppers:** Disable steppers motors to move nozzle and hat bed manually.
Change filament: Load or unload filament.

• Overall Procedure
  ****

• Compatible power supply
  **** The Magic 3D printer can use an input voltage of 110V or 230V. Set the input voltage to match available power by adjusting the switch on the power supply. and adjust the voltage as shown.
  
  

• 

• Leveling the bed**
  
  **Press the Control knob on the display, then select…
  Auto-home: The nozzle moves to the zero point of XYZ axis. After homing, select…
  Level Corners: Nozzle moves to first point for adjustment. Use a piece afA4 paper on the hot bed under the nozzle, and adjust the knob to make sure the paper can slide smoothly with just a bit of friction
  Next Point: Nozzle moves to remaining points and waits far you to adjust the knob.
  Tips: At each point, turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to increase the distance between hot bed and nozzle or turn clockwise to decrease the distance.

• Loading Filament****

1. Heat the nozzle: Press/Rotate the Control knob to **Prepare** **»Preheat** **PLA** **»Preheat** **PLA** **END** to heat the nozzle according to the temperature range of the filament you are going to use. (Reference Temperature: PLA 200°C, ABS-240°C)
2. Load the filament into the spool holder and feed the end of filament through the sensor then into extruder as you press the spring latch during the preheating process.
3. Push the filament into extruders through the small hale of the Extruder until it comes out of the nozzle smoothly.  

• Printing Test
  We highly recommend users to have a printing test aker loading filament.
  Testtng step as follows

1. Insert the SD card, and press/rotate the control knob to select the file that you’d like to print.
2. Press/Rotate the control knob to set to heat nozzle and hot bed with enough temperature.  

It will start to print when temperature reaches. the target, then, check to see that filament comes out smoothly and the first 1or 2 layers stick to the hot bed.

• Replacing Filament
  Reload the filament as follows, if filament |s about to run out during printing:

1. Press/Rotate the control knob to select Tune > Change filament to confirm and wait until the printing stops.
2.  Printer unloads the filament while screen !s prompting Wait for filament unload.
3. Press the button (Wait for filament load), and loading completes until it comes out of nozzle. Select Continue to finish loading.
4. Select Purge more if filament fails to come out of nozzle.

Note: Always pull our the remaining filament gently and carefully, so no damage is done to the nozzle/extruder.
