Printer Port Instructions

Mainboard Port Instructions

Assemble the printer

1. Install Z-axis profiles left and right

2. Install the display screen and power supply

3. Install the Z-axis motor and Z Screw rod
   Note: When installing the Screw Rod, keep it vertical

4. Assemble the X-axis kit

5. Install the X-axis kit and top gantry profile

6. Install the filament rack

7. Install the X-axis belt and belt adjuster

8. Install X, Z, E Motor Cables and Limit Switch Cables
   Usually the Y motor and Y-axis limit switch cables are already installed, Please check to confirm.

Note: Adjust the voltage properly according to your region before plugging in the power cord, and turn on the machine only after the voltage is correct.

Leveling Bed

Make sure there is no residual filament on the nozzle (Avoid affecting the leveling accuracy).

Because the maximum offset value of CR Touch≤ 5 mm,Before auto leveling, please ensure that the height error of the four corners of the print platform ＜ 5 mm.

1. Before leveling the bed, Please select Restore Default settings and select Store Settings.(Save Settings)

2. Select Level Bed and select Proble Z Offset to adjust the first layer print height.
   make sure the distance between nozzle and platform is about the thickness of an A4 sheet of paper, Then click Store settings.

3. When printing, you can still select Proble Z Offset to adjust the height of the nozzle. for the best printing effect.

Loading the Filament

A. In order to successfully load the filament, please trim the end of the filament at an angle of 45 degrees.
B. Press the filament until it passes through the filament detection hole. Then press and hold the extruder handle to insert the filament into Teflon tube until it reaches the nozzle.
C. Warm up the nozzle. If the filament flows out of the nozzle when the temperature reaches the target value, the filament is properly loaded.

Replacing the filament:

1. When the printer is not printing:
   A. Heat the nozzle to 185℃ or higher, wait for the filament in the nozzle to soften. Then press and hold the extrusion handle to quickly extract the filament to prevent it from clogging in the heat break.
   B. Pause the printing. After the printer stops, press and hold the extrusion handle and quickly extract the filament to prevent it from clogging in the heat break.
   C. Place the new filament onto the rack and press it through the filament detector.
   Press and hold the extrusion handle to insert the filament into the nozzle. Then push the filament to squeeze out the residual filament in the nozzle and clean up the nozzle before resuming printing.

Start Printing
Before printing, please check the printer again following these steps:

When the printer is powered off:

1. The nozzle is tightly connected and moves smoothly to the left and right.
2. The X axis is horizontal and stable (not wobbling up or down), and it moves run smoothly up and down. 3.The Y axis is tightly connected. The platform does not shake and moves back and forth smoothly. 4.The filament rack does not shake. The rollers are smooth. The filament extrusion is smooth.

When the printer is powered on: Please make sure to select the correct voltage mode

1. The screen display and knob work properly. The movements of the X, Y, and Z axes are smooth.
2. The nozzle and hotbed heat up properly.
3. The feed and return of the filament works properly.
