4 Installation instructions

Upper rack, The base, HM5*25

Put the four holes on the base, and lock the four holes on the base with four PM5*25 screws.

Control box

Tighten the boat nuts with a screwdriver. Fix the control box on the aluminum of the base.

Pay attention: The control box must be fixed on the beam, otherwise its easy to hit the print head.Power supply, HM3*25

Run two PM3*25 screws through the front zaxis profile and lock the power on the back of the profile.

Filame nt rack

Take out the material rack, lock the boat nut with the screw knife, and fix the material rack on the upper beam.

6 Production debugging

Due to transportation reasons, the Z axis wire rod may not move smoothly or get stuck, the belt is loose, and so on. The following steps can be used to fine-tune the product.

1. Z-axis screw debugging:

When the machine is not moving smoothly in the direction of the Z axis or is stuck, please loosen 2 M3 fixing screws of the motor components of the right and left Z axis or 4 M38 fixing screws of the screw nut. Manually rotate the X-axis assembly to the highest point, then lock the 4 M38 screws in the screw nut. Also, manually turn the X axis component to the minimum, and then lock the power unit 2 M38 screws (4 M38 screws of proper screw rod screws can be unscrewed if there is any problem. The power will not be switched until the X-axis component is returned smoothly.

2. Belt adjustment:
If the belt is too loose or too tight, loosen the M4*8 screw slightly, and then drag it back or move it forward. The elastic degree of the belt can be adjusted, and the screw can be locked after being adjusted

  The printhead is moves right/ left

The printhead is moves forward/ back

The print platform moves down/ rising

Extrusion motor forward /adversefeed

Auto home

2. Load and Unload filaments :

Manual, Preheat, Filament, Level, Fan, Stop, Z offset, Back

Click and wait for preheating

Click on the red area to start heating

Wait for the temperature to reach the target temperature

Straightening the front end of the filaments, press the extruder clip with your hand, insert the filaments into the hole of the extruder until the nozzle is in position. When the filaments flow out of the nozzle, the filaments have been loaded

3. Verify platform flatness and print test

Step 1: move the printing head to the nearest boundary point of the platform by hand, as shown in FIG. (1). Then place an A4 paper between the nozzle and the platform (2).Then move the printing head to another boundary point of the platform, and repeat the above operation to adjust the leveling, until the four points around the platform and the middle of the platform have been leveling completed (if leveling nut adjustment fails to meet leveling, it can be adjusted via upper and lower adjustment of z-axis adjusting block, and then fine-tuning with leveling nut until the platform leveling).

1 A4 paper                2 Leveling nuts             3 Z axis adjustment parts

Step 2: click “tool”→”manual”→”return to zero”, then the three axis will automatically return to the origin, and then click” emergency stop “to close the motor.

Finally, plug in the SD card and click “print”. ( attention direction ) The model has been sliced and attached to the card. Choose one of them to print, such as “Cat (mobile phone stand)”, After waiting for the temperature to reach the target temperature, it will automatically start printing.

8 Analysis of common fault causes

1. The printing head does not output material or less output material

• the print head did not reach a temperature of 170°C above (PLA), led to filaments cannot feeding.
• the material is knotted, resulting in poor discharge.
• the filaments were not delivered to the pipe and nozzle accurately, resulting in the failure of normal discharge.
• the temperature of the extruder is too high, so that the softening of filaments cannot be extruded normally.

2. Motor shake, abnormal noise

• the motor line is loose and poor contact leads to abnormal sound due to shaking. Check the wiring.
• the driving voltage is too large or too small, adjust the driving voltage of the main board.
• motor damage.

3. Unable to read SD card content

• it is not displayed when inserted on the computer. It needs to be used after formatting SD card.
• there are illegal characters in the filename, and rename.
• the SD card is damaged and a new one is replaced.

4. Model mismatch

• the belt is too loose, and the belt should be tightened again.
• the jacking of the synchronous wheel is loose, and the jacking is tightened again.
• the drive current of the motor is too high, and the drive current is reduced.
