Install Limit switch for Z-axis
Easier to replace the platform and adjust the belt
Rotate the glass pick-and-place handle plate for platform replacement.
- Then manually turn the knob to the appropriate tightness to avoid belt breakage. (as shown in figure A, three places)
Cable Connection
Cable Connection
- Connect the 15pin port to the nozzle adapter board as shown in the figure 15pin
- Connect Z-axis motor cable
- Connect the photoelectric switch wire
- Connect the power cord
Bed Leveling
- Slelct“Level”to automatically level
- 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
Notes: The UI information is only for reference,the actual UI may be different.
Preheating Method
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.
Load Filament
When you wait for the temperature to rise,hang the filament over the Filament Holder.
Load Filament
Whe the current temperature reaches the target temperature,the consumables 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 right is tightening,arrow to left is lossen.(As shown in figure A)
Tips: How to replace the filament?
- Cutting filament near the Extruder and slowly feed new filament until they are fed into the new filament.
- Withdrawing the filament quickly and feeding the new filament after nozzle was preheated and filament pushed a little forward.

Dental Mode Resin
The surface hardness is extremely high, scratch-resistant, and has low shrinkage characteristics. It is mainly used in dental implant restoration and invisible braces printing in medical dentistry.
Toughness Resin
Toughness Resin is a medium-hard, wear-resistant, and repeatedly stretchable material. It is used in parts which need to be repeatedly stretched in friction devices.
High-Temperature Resin
High-Temperature Resin is mainly used in making high temperature rubber molds, which can withstand temperatures of about 200℃ without cracking and maintain
good strength, stiffness and thermal stability.
Jewelry Cast Resin
Widely applied to jewelry industry. Excellent combustion performance, low expansion coefficient, combustion without residue. Forming process is stable without
deformation. The finished product has smooth surface and high precision.
