Before use, please verify that the machine's voltage setting matches the local voltage in your area before powering on the machine. There are DIP switches on both sides of the machine115V / 230V, please adjust the voltage to match the local voltage before first use. 11 Diagram 20 Leveling Procedure When first running the machine, the distance between the platform and the nozzle needs to be calibrated in the leveling mode, which is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper . l When the printer is powered on, select [Level]. l Each axis of the printer automatically returns to the home position, after entering the leveling page, Then select the automatic leveling option from the menu and your printer will begin the automatic calibration process. [ ] l Your printer will enter a heating state during the automatic calibration process as the nozzle is heated to 140ºC and the heated bed to 60ºC l After reaching the preset temperature, begin the 100-point automatic bed calibration. l When completed, perform Z-axis compensation setting: Place a leveling card between the printhead and the platform. Adjust the compensation value by clicking, and gently slide the leveling card. When there is resistance while moving the leveling card, the leveling is complete. l Click the save icon to save. [ ] The center screw on this surface serves as the reference point, and its height cannot be adjusted. The other three surfaces are adjusted to a relative height based on this surface. 12 Leveling Procedure If there is a significant height difference between the platforms, you can manually calibrate the platform plate. First, replace the two PEI plates in the front section with the leveling plate. The holes on the leveling plate should align with each screw hole on the heated bed plate. Then navigate to "Settings", "Advanced Settings",and finally choose "Platform Measurement." Next, click on "Auto Measurement" and wait for the printhead to measure the data of the 18 points on the platform one by one. (NOTE: Do not perform any other operations during the measurement process) Based on the presented 18-point data, manually adjust the screw height for points higher or lower than [0.00]. Then, you can verify the adjusted values by manually selecting the corresponding position number.Po sition 5 is the reference point [0.00] and does not require adjusting the screw. Adjust the remaining 35 points using the knob screws to approach the [0.00] data.) NOTE: Turning the knob screw clockwise by one turn will lower the platform by 0.7mm, otherwise it will raise by 0.7mm. 13 Leveling Procedure Swap the two leveling plates in the front section with the two PEI plates in the back section. Click [Continue measuring] and wait for the printhead to sequentially measure the 18-point values on the leveling plates. NOTE: Do not perform any other operations during the measurement process Perform manual adjustment based on the presented numbers and adjust the 18-point values to be close to [0.00]. After manually adjusting the relative height of the four platform plates, place the PEI plate and click on "Level." Wait for the printhead to return to the home, then click on "Auto Leveling" to collect data from 100 points. Once completed, place the leveling card between the nozzle and the platform and set the compensation value. When there is resistance while moving the leveling card, the setup is complete. Click on "Save Data" to exit. 14 Model Testing Printing Functional Test 1 Insert the USB Drive into the printer's USB port. 2 Choose [Print] from the main menu and select the desired file. 3 When the nozzle and heated bed reach the target temperatures, the X, Y & Z axis will return to home and begin printing. [] Note Filament with different hardness have different requirements for "spring" strength. The spring strength of the extruder can be adjusted with an Allen Wrench (within 2.0mm). When turning counter-clockwise, extrusion force is increased, while extrusion force is decreased when turned in a clockwise direction. While adjusting, switch the travel distance to 0.01mm or 0.05mm for fine tuning to prevent the nozzle from potentially dragging excessively along the heated bed (which can cause damage to the build plate) or to keep filament from "hanging" in the air. A.Too Low B.Too High C.Nomal NOTE: When printing the test model, please observe the first layer printing and compare against the figure on the above. In cases A and B, the compensation settings are not properly adjusted. You can make compensation adjustments during printing to adjust the distance between the nozzle and the heated bed. In case C, the nozzle and the platform are at the ideal printing distance and can continue printing without any further adjustments. 15 Touch Screen Operation Introduction IP Address Temperature Display Settings Option G-code File Display Left & Right Page Keys Motor Movement & Return to Home Control 100-point Leveling Display Compensation Settings Temperature Display Preset Filament Temp Note: Please be aware that the current interface is for reference purposes only.
