Print your first work 1. Insert the SD card to the SD card socket on the printer (Fig 1). 2. Click “Print” on the control panel and choose “Test gcode\xyz_cube.gcode” (Fig 2), click the knob to start printing. 3. Wait until the hotend and hotbed is reached to the setting temperature (Fig 3), the nozzle will home to the origin position and then move to above of the printing platform and extrude the filament, use a tweezers to remove the outflow filament (Fig 4).

Slicing About slicing Slicing a 3D drawing translates the 3D drawing into a language that a 3D printer can understand and print. The slicing software is a computer software used in the majority of 3D printing processes for the conversion of a 3D object model to specific instructions for the printer.
Advance features NOTE: Do not turn on these functions until you clearly understand how to use them and precautions. Bed auto leveling feature: This printer is equipped with a Bed leveling sensor (PL-08N), with this sensor, you can correct the unevenness of the hot bed.
