    1. NOTES PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE DEVICE, PAYING EXTRA ATTENTION TO THESE SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES. PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 1.1. Safety Warnings  Do not touch the nozzle or stepper motors, when the 3D printer is printing or just finished the printing job, the nozzle temperature is up to 230°C.
  • Page 5: Environmental Requirements

    1.3. Environmental Requirements This 3D printer is intended for indoor use only. The ideal ambient temperature is 15°C - 25°C. When the ambient temperature is lower than 10°C, the printing model is hard to adhere to the platform. When the ambient temperature is lower than 0°C, the device will not startup. When the ambient temperature is higher than 30°C, the print quality will decline significantly and the nozzle may be clogged.

  • Page 40  Travel speed (mm/s): Sets the movement speed of the nozzle when not printing. 6.9.2.Infill Tab  Infill Pattern: Use the drop-down menu to select one of seven different infill patterns, including Lines, Grid, Triangles, Zig Zag, Concentric, Cross, and Octet. The individual patterns are illustrated in the table below.
  • Page 41 Concentric Cross Octet 6.9.3.Support Tab  Support Pattern: Use the drop-down menu to select one of five support patterns, including Lines, Grid, Triangles, Zig Zag, and Concentric. The pattern designs are the same as those of the infill patterns of the same name. o Lines support is easier to remove and is used on models that require more support.
  • Page 42  Support infill density (%): Determines the infill density for supports. The higher the density, the stronger the supports.  Support Top Gap (mm): The distance between the top of the support and the model surface. The smaller the distance, the more effective the support, but is more difficult to remove from the model surface, resulting in residual material on the model surface.
  • Page 43  Raft Extra Margin (mm): The distance between the edge of the raft and the model surface.  Raft Base thickness (mm): Determines the thickness of the raft.  Initial Layer Z Overlap: Determines the amount of overlap between the first and second layers of the model.
  • Page 44  Horizontal Travel Retraction: Check this box to enable filament retraction when the nozzle is not printing and is moving in a horizontal direction.  Retract at Layer Change: Check this box to retract the filament when switching from layer to layer.
  • Page 45 6.9.8.Machine Tab  Right Nozzle Diameter (mm): Sets the diameter of the nozzle on the right extruder. This printer only has a single extruder, which is designated the right extruder. The nozzle diameter of this printer is 0.4mm. 6.9.9.Line Width Tab ...
  • Page 46 6.9.10. Seam Tab Note: The Z Seam is where the 3D printer finishes its motion when printing the skin (outside layer) of a model. This can result in a small blob or zit where the 3D printer changes the Z height. If in alignment, there can be a noticeable line up the side of the print, referred to as a Z Seam, because the filament continues to ooze at the start/stop location.
  • Page 47  Horizontal Expansion (mm): Thermoplastics tend to shrink when cooling. This option allows you to fine tune the part size to offset shrinkage for prints that require tighter tolerances.  Skin Alternate Rotation: Typically, a 3D printer will print solid layers for the top and bottom layers.

  • Page 50: Common Faults

    8. COMMON FAULTS When you encounter hardware or operation problems, you can use the following operations to determine the fault, or you can solve the problem by consulting the “TROUBLESHOOTING” or contacting the after-sales service. 8.1. Filament Feeding Failure If it is found that the extruder cannot load filament normally, and the extruder gear is still rotating, the extruder is blocked.
  • Page 51 8.2.2.Perform the action: turn on the "Endstop" function Fault: Click the X, Y, Z endstop by hand, and observe whether the interface status is changed. Use a metal object to approach the bottom of the Proximity Sensor, observe whether the interface status changes, and whether the light of the Proximity Sensor is on.
  • Page 52 broken, please use the "Endstops" to check. Solution: Reinsert or replace the Y endstop wire, or replace the Y endstop. (5) Fault: The platform moves forward and then stops. Reason: The Y endstop wire is broken or short circuited, or the Y endstop is broken, please use "Travel Switch Information"...
  • Page 53: Other Issues

    (2) Fault: The nozzle keeps going down and hits the platform. The indicator light of the proximity sensor will also be on, but there is no output signal. Reason: The proximity sensor wire is broken or short circuited. Or the proximity sensor is broken, please use the "Endstops"...
  • Page 54: Maintenance

    8.4. Maintenance The daily maintenance mainly includes: cleaning the nozzle, replacing the magnetic sticker, maintenance of the optical axis and the screw rod, etc. 8.4.1.Power 1.If it is not used for a long time, please turn off the power. 2.Keep the place of use clean and dry. Prevent dust accumulation on the input and output ports of the power supply.
  • Page 55 8.4.4.Replace Hotend Improper operation or improper selection of filament will cause the nozzle to be blocked. If necessary, the Hotend needs to be replaced. Disassembly process: 1. First, operate in the shutdown state, use a 2.0mm L-wrench to find the screw that fix the nozzle inside the nozzle fan, and loosen the screw.
  • Page 56 8.4.5.Bearings During the use of the 3D printer, both X and Y directions rely on precision guide rails and Z axis screw to ensure smooth and precise linear motion. After adding lubricating silicone grease, it can reduce friction and reduce the wear of mechanical moving parts, so it must be maintained regularly. It is recommended to maintain once after 1000 hours of use.
