- Page 2 Note: Each device must be tested before leaving factory. If there are some residues in extruder or some tiny scratches on the build tape, it is normal and won’t affect the printing quality. On the completion of this User Guide, thanks all Apollo3D engineers and the Apollo3D printer users for their unremitting efforts and sincere assistance.
- Page 3 FILAMENT REQUIREMENTS Do not abuse the filament. Please make sure you use the Apollo3D filament or the filament from the brands accepted by Apollo3D. FILAMENT STORAGE All polymers degrade with time. Do not unpack until filament is needed. Filament should be stored at clean and dry conditions.

Page 8: First Installation
2.First Installation 2.1 Leveling To actually level the heat-bed is really simple, it just takes some practice to get it right. (1) Start by tightening down all the screws so you have more room to work with. (2) Home to Z minimum, then send it to Z 0 manually, the Z parameter is 0 in the touchscreen. (3) Use the touch screen to move X-axis and Y-axis for top left (point 20,20), bottom left (point 160,20), top right (point 20,160) and bottom right (point 160,160), one leveling one point. -
Page 9: Unloading Filament
Saturn is equipped with patent extruder, which is suitable for PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon. While Saturn is adopted with open type filament system, we still suggest using Apollo3D filament. All the Apollo3D filament is tested professionally, and are possessed of optimized configuration files, which... -
Page 10: Print Setting
3.1.2 Print Setting Each type of filament needs different setting for best print effect. If using prepared models of Apollo3D, setting completed automatically under the circumstance of choosing correct extruder and filament. For better adhesiveness of print product, we suggest applying a thin layer of glue before printing. - Page 11 If necessary, remove build plate from the printer, then remove model from build plate with a scraper. Use water If glue stick is used when printing, and neither of above methods is effective, wash build plate with warm water to dissolve the glue after taking build plate from the printer.
