Caution Hot Surface - Without sufficient cooling the bed can be very hot. Please be cautious coming into contact . It may cause burns.
Page 107
Printable Verification Detach the object from the Flexible Bed. The object can be easily detached by bending the Flexible Bed up and down. Using the scrapper provided with the printer will be useful. Be careful not to apply too much pressure while using the scrapper could damage the bed sheet and the bed.
Printable Verification Improving Printing Quality Nozzle, Bed temperature Depending on the material (PLA, ABS etc.), optimum temperature for the nozzle and bed can be different. Environmental factors (temperature, humidity) can affect the quality of the printed product. There is no absolute value for optimum temperature. Testing various temperatures and finding the optimum temperature are needed.
Printable Verification When Printer Cannot be Turned On Open the Front door shown below and turn the belt counter-clockwis. After the bed is lowered, remove printed output and turn the power on.
Maintenance Machine Cleaning Cleaning Case Maintenance On the LCD, if a message requesting for the cleaning of the cleaning case pops up, detach the cleaning case and clean all the filament residue inside the case. - If in need for further cleaning, on the menu, under settings, select cleaning case. The cleaning case can be detached.
Maintenance Cleaning the inside of the Nozzle The leftover in the nozzle interferes with filaments transfer. This interference can cause problems with printing and filament loading. The leftover makes the printing filament uneven or clogs the nozzle. Once melted, the filament can have different properties from the original. If the leftover in the nozzle is repeatedly heated / cooled, the properties will be changed.

Maintenance Problems and Solutions 3.1 If filament does not come out of the nozzle Follow the on-screen instructions and start the auto recovery process. After the recovery process if problem persists follow the below steps. Initiate cartridge unlock. Remove the cartridge from the printer. Use the extruder jog mode to remove the filament.
Maintenance In Cases where Filament is Cut Between the Extruder and Nozzle Remove the Snap-Ring on the fitting in the nozzle and pull out the tube. Use Extruder mode and move the filament towards the nozzle to push out the cut filament. After removing all cut pieces of filament, insert the tube into the nozzle and attach the snap ring.
Maintenance If the bed leveling does not operate normally Make sure the bed is not tilted at an angle. According to the bed installation method (Chapter 4. Printed Output 2 Check) adjust to match the base. Check the filament residue or foreign matter on the metal exposed surface of the bed and remove it. - Clean the area 4 or 5 times with 800 grit sandpaper or so.

Maintenance Select the [Extruder] menu. → Wait until the nozzle’s temperature reaches your target temperature. → Operate the extruder to insert the fila ment by 50 mm. → Check if the filament was inserted and injected through the nozzle. (If the filament was not injected, repeat step 2 for two to three times. If this does not work, please contact our customer service hotline, and submit a video or image of this issue to a customer service representative.) A persistent EC 401 error code may be caused by an insufficient space between the nozzle and the bed, which causes the filament not to be correctly transferred.
