2. Do not place the printer near any heat source or flammable or explosive objects. We suggest placing it in a well-ventilated, low-dust environment.
3. Do not expose the printer to violent vibration or any unstable environment, as this may cause poor print quality.
4. Before using experimental or exotic filaments, we suggest using standard filaments such as ABS or PLA to calibrate and test the machine.
5. Do not use any other power cable except the one supplied. Always use a grounded three-prong power outlet.
6. Do not touch the nozzle or printing surface during operation as they may be hot. Keep hands away from machine while in use to avoid burns or personal injury.
7. Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating the printer. Such cloths may become tangled in the printers moving parts leading to burns, possible bodily injury, or printer damage.
8. When cleaning debris from the printer hotend, always use the provided tools. Do not touch the nozzle directly when heated. This can cause personal injury.
9. Clean the printer frequently. Always turn the power off when cleaning, and wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust, adhered printing plastics or any other material off the frame, guide rails, or wheels. Use glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to clean the print surface before every print for consistent results.
10. Children under 10 years of age should not use the printer without supervision.
11. This machine is equipped with a security protection mechanism. Do not manually move the nozzle and printing platform mechanism manually while booting up, otherwise the device will automatically power off for safety.
12. Users shall comply with related nation and region' s laws, regulations and ethical codes where the equipment or produced prints by it is used, and users of our product shall not use aforesaid products to print any end-use products, objects, parts or components or any other physical prints that violate the national or regional laws, regulations and ethical codes where herein referred product and produced prints by it is located.

Parameters

Parts List

Tips: the above accessories are for reference only, please refer to the physical accessories!

Install the Gantry Frame

Install the Display

After the display is installed, please connect the display cable.

Install the Pull Rod

Adjust the proper length of assembled pull rod and install in the position shown in the figure

Install the Rack

The material rack can be installed in different positions on the front and back of the Z axis, and can be folded.

Easier to replace the platform and adjust the belt

1. Rotate the glass pick-and-place handleplate for platform replacement.
   
2. Then manually turn the knob to the appropriate tightness to avoid belt breakage. (as shown in figure A, three places)
   

Cable Connection

1. Connect the 16pin port to the nozzle adapter board as shown in the figure
2. Connect the extruder adapter board with 14pin port as shown
3. Connect Z-axis motor cable
4. Connect the photoelectric switch wire
5. Connect the power cord

• Do not connect or disconnect the cables when the machine is powered on.

Level the Platform

1. Select "Level" to automatically level
2. After the leveling is completed, adjust the Z-axis compensation value according to the adhesion of the printing consumables and the glass

During the leveling process, please do not touch the Teflon tube and nozzle cable.

Preheating Method 1

Method 1

Notes: The UI information is only for reference, the actual UI may be different.

Preheating Method 2

Method 2

Notes: The print preheating standard is adjusted at the factory, PLA preheating standard: nozzle temperature 200°, hot bed temperature 60°, ABS preheating standard: nozzle temperature 240°, hot bed temperature 70°.
If you need to adjust it due to printing materials or other reasons, you can adjust the parameters on the interface home page control → temperature → PLA / ABS preheat setting.

When you wait for the temperature to rise, hang the filament over the filament holder.

For loading filament smoothly, the end of the filament should be placed as shown below.

Load Filament

When the current temperature reaches the target temperature, the cinsumables pass the material breakage detection, and are inserted into the small hole of the extruder until the position of the nozzle. If the consumables flow out at the nozzle, it means that the consumables have been loaded. Method of adjusting the tightness of the extrusion spring: Arrow to the right is tightening, arrow to the left is loosening. (As shown in figure A)

Tips: How to replace the filament?

1. Cut filament near the Extruder and slowly feed in the new filament to the material tube.
2. After preparing the nozzle, push the filament a little forward and quickly withdraw the filament, and then feed in the new filament.
