Safety Precautions
1) The temperature of the nozzle parts can reach 250 °C during the
operation of the machine. To ensure your safety, it is forbidden to touch
the model and nozzle directly with your hand while the printer is
printing or cooling.
2) During the operation of the machine, it is forbidden to reach into the
machine to prevent pinching.
3) The working voltage is 110~220V AC voltage 50HZ/60HZ AC. The
three-pin socket should be grounded. Do not use other power sources to
avoid damage to components or fire, electric shock and other accidents.
Note: Before powering on, please check whether the input voltage value
of the switching power supply meets the voltage standard of the country
or region.
4) When the machine is working continuously for ≥ 96 hours, it should
be stopped for 1-3 hours.
Consumables
The consumables are not used after unpacking or for a long period of
time after the print model is completed. The consumables should be
taken out of the printer and sealed to prevent the consumables from
being exposed to the air for a long time, causing moisture and affecting
the print quality. At the same time, when the consumables are removed
1
The front end of the consumable should be fixed on the tray to avoid
consumables and affect the next print.
To use this printer, it is recommended to use the supplies provided by
the company. At present, the quality of consumables sold in the retail
market is uneven, and printing is prone to breakage.
Staggering and clogging the printer nozzle, etc., and irreversible damage
to the heating components of the nozzle, the extrusion motor and the
extrusion gear. The company will not guarantee the printer due to the
use of consumables other than our company.
Environmental requirements

（5）leveling method
Turn on the machine and manually move the
nozzle to the middle of the printing platform.
Then let the z-axis go back to zero. If the copper
nozzle is far from the platform or close to the
platform or even press down the platform, raise
the z-axis. Then rotate the big head screw
pointed by the red arrow in the right picture.
Then let the z-axis go back to zero and repeat the
above actions until the copper nozzle is adjusted
to the distance of about one A4 paper from the
platform as shown in the right picture.
Click on the levelling button on the screen
and enter the levelling interface as shown below.
Click on five icons in turn to verify that the
distance between the sprinkler and the platform
is the same.If the distance is not the same, use
L-shaped inner hexagonal wrench to rotate the
four corners of the platform screw as shown in
the figure until the requirements are met.

Layer thickness：0.1~0.4mm available. 0.1mm high precision but long printing time, 0.4mm low
precision but printing time is too short, in general select 0.2mm.
Shell thickness: 0.4mm is very thin, in general select 1.2mm,that will increase printing time.
Enable retraction: To prevent the wire from leaking when printing quickly, otherwise it will affect
the appearance.
Bottom/Top thickness: In order to make the top layer print more perfect and flat bottom layer.
Fill density: If the intensity is not high, select 20%. If the intensity is high, increase it and the
printing time also will increase.
Print speed: Generally set 30-100, he print speed is higher and the precision is lower.
Printing temperature: Depends on the filament, generally select 190 ~ 210 degrees.
Support type: Include half-support and full support. In general the model with suspended
structure needs to set support, but surface will be rough after removing support.
Platform adhesion type: "None" means do not set any support, "Brim" increases the bottom
area. "Raft" base makes the model more adherent. To make the model better adhere to the base,
add a base or edge. But best to increase a base and a edge relative to the small bottom area.
Diameter: 1.75mm
Flow: 100%

E ． Resume printing and filament run-out
detection function
（1）Power outage recovery
When printing for a period of time and
the height of the print exceeds 0.5mm,
the power-off icon will be displayed. At
this time, the power is turned back on,
and the icon can be clicked. After
waiting for the temperature to rise,
normal printing can be resumed.

F． FAQ manual
Question1: How to update the firmware?
1. Copy these two files to the SD card
2. Then restart the machine and wait for
the machine progress bar to complete
before the firmware is refreshed.
3. Then the user needs to delete the two
files in the SD card to be used normally,
otherwise the firmware will be refreshed
every time the phone is turned on
Question 2:What if the filament does not discharge from the
machine?
1. After the machine nozzle is heated, the
consumables are normally fed into the
feeding mechanism by hand, and then
passed through the Teflon tube to enter the
nozzle.
2. When it is found that the gear of the
feeding mechanism emits a "beep" sound, it
can first check whether the consumables
are wound, causing the extrusion
mechanism to pull the material.
3. If this is not the reason mentioned above,
please remove the fixed two screws
according to the figure, pull out all the
cables of the sprinkler assembly, and
remove the whole sprinkler assembly for
replacement and repair.
23
Question 3: When the machine returns the filament, it can't be
returned. What should I do when stuck in the pneumatic joint?
1. Before returning the material, please
heat the nozzle first, and then withdraw
the consumables as soon as possible. If
you can't pump it, you can re-feed the
material with the advanced material,
and melt the extruded block formed at
the end of the consumable in the
nozzle.
2. When withdrawing the
consumables, before the end of
the consumables reaches the
pneumatic joint, we will usually
pull the Teflon directly from the
Teflon and cut the end of the
consumables.
3. Because the end of the
consumables in the nozzle will be
deformed by heat, if the end
deformed consumables are directly
pulled out, it may be stuck to the
pneumatic joint or the limit switch for
damage detection. (The limit switch
for the broken material detection is
single. Towards).
Question 4: What should I do if I cannot resume printing after
power shutdown?
If the power is suddenly turned off when the part is first printed, the machine
will not save the print data. Unless the height of the print exceeds 0.5mm, the
power failure will be supported. If the height is less than 0.5mm, it is
recommended to reprint directly.
24
Question 5:After the machine heats up, the filament is discharged
normally. However, when the printing is performed for the first time,
the curling occurs on the platform. After printing several layers, the
filaments get out of the platform. What can I do？
1. After the user gets the 3D printer, if the leveling is found to be curled on the
first layer of silk, it feels like it is gently falling on the platform. It can be judged
that the leveling is not adjusted, and the nozzle is too high from the hot bed. ,
2. At this point we need to re-level, the quality of the leveling can largely
determine the success rate of the part printing.
3. In addition, in order to ensure good contact between the model and the
platform, we can set the larger plane of the model face down when slicing, and
can also be set in the slicing software to add Raft to the model, which can make
the model stick to the platform. Firm.
