- Before using experimental filaments, calibrate and test with standard filaments like ABS or PLA.
- Use only the supplied power cable and a grounded three-prong power outlet.
- Do not touch the nozzle or printing surface during operation as they may be hot. Keep hands away from the machine to avoid burns or injury.
- Do not wear gloves or loose clothing while operating the printer, as they can get tangled in moving parts, leading to burns or injury.
- When cleaning debris from the hotend, use provided tools. Do not touch the heated nozzle directly.
- Clean the printer frequently. Turn off the power before cleaning. Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust, plastic residue, or other materials from the frame, guide rails, or wheels. Use glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on the print surface for consistent results.
- Children under 10 years of age should not use the printer without supervision.
- The machine has a security protection mechanism. Do not manually move the nozzle and printing platform during startup; the device will automatically power off for safety.
- Users must comply with all applicable national and regional laws, regulations, and ethical codes. Do not use the product to print any items that violate these laws.

Bed Leveling
Follow these steps for bed leveling: Set the Z-axis to move down 10mm, then remove the motor. Alternatively, press the printing platform to the bottom, move up 10mm in Z-axis, and return the motor to zero. Navigate to 'Settings' > 'Leveling' > 'Aux leveling'. Click the numbered points (1-5) to assist in leveling. The printer will prompt you to click the numbers. Use a piece of A4 paper (standard printer paper) to assist with the adjustment. Move the nozzle near the leveling screw. Twist the screw left or right to create a gap between the nozzle and the platform that is as thick as a piece of A4 paper (approx. 0.1mm). Lightly scratch the paper with the nozzle. Level all four corners in order. Repeat steps 1-2 times if necessary, adjusting until slight resistance is felt when pulling the A4 paper.Step 1: Initial Setup
Step 2: Auto Leveling
Step 3: Manual Adjustment
Preheating
Method 1: Navigate to 'Print' > 'Temp' > 'Settings'. Select 'Automatic' or 'Manual' for nozzle and bed temperature. Choose 'Cooling' or 'Fan' as needed.
Method 2: Navigate to 'Settings' > 'Temperature' > 'Manual Setup'. Set the desired nozzle and bed temperatures. For example, set nozzle preheat to 200-260°C and hot-bed preheat to 60-100°C.
The UI information is for reference; the actual UI may differ.
Filament Handling
Hanging Filament
When the temperature rises, hang the filament over the filament holder. For smoother printing, ensure the end of the filament is placed correctly as shown in the diagram (approx. 45-degree angle cut).
- Filament: x1
- Diagonal pliers: x1
Loading Filament
Put the filament into the filament detector, pass through the filament guide support wheels. When the target temperature is reached, press the extruder spring and insert the filament into the small hole until it reaches the nozzle. Successful loading is indicated when filament emerges from the nozzle.
Tips for Replacing Filament:
- Cut filament near the extruder and slowly feed the new filament into the material tube.
- After preheating the nozzle, push the filament forward slightly, quickly withdraw it, and then feed in the new filament.
If special circumstances require hoisting the filament, secure the filament tube to the corrugated pipe with a tie and pass the filament through the tube.
Start Printing
Using Creality Slicer Software:
- Double-click to install the software.
- Double-click to open the software.
- Select language, click 'Next', select your machine model, click 'Next', and then 'Finish' to complete the setup.

Printing Process:
- Generate G-code and save the gcode file to a storage card.
- Insert the storage card into the printer.
- Select 'Print' on the printer's display, then choose the file to be printed from the 'File List'.
Note: File names must be in Latin letters or numbers, not Chinese characters or special symbols. For detailed software instructions, refer to the slicing software manual on the memory card.
Troubleshooting
The printer includes a troubleshooting guide to help diagnose and resolve common issues. The workflow involves diagnosing the fault, identifying the cause, and performing the appropriate handling steps.
Common Faults and Handling:
- Storage Card Issues: Wipe, format, or replace the storage card.
- File Naming: Ensure file names use English letters or numbers.
- Slicer Issues: Move the model position and reslice, or use repair software.
- Shaft Motor/Limit Switch: Reconnect circuits, check by substitution, or verify wiring.
- Hot Bed/Nozzle Heating: Check circuits, thermistors, and heating tubes. Ensure temperature display is normal.
- Filament Issues: Check filament extrusion, motor rotation, and filament quality. Remove surface defects or replace filament.
- Other Issues: Reconnect circuits or check by substitution.
Result Feedback: If the problem is solved, it will be indicated. For component damage, replacement is needed. For unknown malfunctions, contact after-sales support.
