NOTES
1.Do not place the printer in highly vibrating or unstable environment, as machine vibrations can affect print quality. 2.Do not touch the nozzle or heated bed while the printer is in operation to avoid burns and personal injury from high temperatures. 3.After printing, promptly utilize the residual heat in the nozzle to effectively clean the filament residue using a suitable tool. Avoid direct contact with the nozzle to prevent potential burns. 4.When printing low-temperature filaments such as PLA and flexible filaments, please remove the glass top cover. 5.We recommend using ELEGOO’s slicing software to ensure the proper functioning of the machine and achieve optimal printing results. 6.Perform regular maintenance on the printer by cleaning the machine body with a dry cloth to remove dust and any sticky filament residue. Ensure the printer is powered off before cleaning. 7.Be cautious of the machine’s high-speed moving parts to avoid any potential pinch hazards. 8.The Z-axis of the machine utilizes lead screws for its moving parts. Apply lubricating oil as needed to ensure smooth movement. 9.Children must be supervised by adults when using the machine to avoid personal injury. 10.In case of an emergency, directly turn off the power. 11.Ensure the machine is properly grounded for safe operation. Failure to properly ground or neglecting to ground the machine can increase the risk of electrical leakage. 12.If the machine is not in use for an extended period, please turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

2.Click – Local to select a model for test printing.

3.If the adhesion of the build plate decreases after prolonged use,
you can apply solid glue or use platform adhesive spray to
enhance the first-layer adhesion of the model, or replace the
build plate.

4.After the printed model cools down, detach the flexible build plate together with the model from the device. Bend the plate slightly to separate the model from it (avoid overbending to prevent deformation).
