How to Start

Install the Filament

Prepare your printer for printing by loading filament:

1. Remove the protective foam from the nozzle.
2. Insert the filament holder into its designated placement hole, and place the filament spool onto the holder.
3. Push the orange handle upward slightly, then insert the filament tip into the extruder inlet until it enters the extruder.
4. In the X-MAKER App, navigate to "Printer Settings" and select "Load". Click "Load". The nozzle will automatically heat up, and the filament will be loaded. Loading is complete when filament emerges from the nozzle.

Important: Cut the filament tip at an angle (aslant) and ensure it is straightened before loading.

Place the Base Plate

Ensure the magnetic base plate is clean, flat, and properly aligned with the printing platform.

Model Printing and Removal

Start printing your 3D models:

• The X-MAKER App offers easy one-click printing.
• Access pre-made models via "X-MAKER App > Things" for one-click printing.
• Design or customize your own models via "X-MAKER App > Theme (or Design)".

After printing, carefully remove the finished print and any support structures from the base plate.

Quick Swap Nozzle

Easily change the nozzle when needed:

1. In the X-MAKER App, go to "Printer Settings" and select "Unload".
2. Wait for the nozzle to cool down to below 45°C.
3. Press the orange button and carefully remove the nozzle with a little force.
