1.3 Equipment Parameters

2.1 Unlock Tool Box, Unlock Tool Head, Unlock Hot Bed, Shovel Knife Assembly

1. Shear off the fixing ribbon between the pearl wool and the hot bed, then pick out the tool box.
2. Shear off the ribbon, then remove the hard paperboard on the tool head.
3. Use the H2.0 hexagon spanner to twist off the four fixing screws of the hot bed, then remove the free marks glue which fixes the PEI panel.
4. Click on the screen: "SD card" / "Local File" and select "Shovel knife.gcode" to print the shovel knife model. Assemble the shovel knife using M3x6 screws and M3 nuts as shown in the figure. (Print after the machine is used normally)

2.2 Display Installation

1. Left hand holds the indicator (SD slot side rightward), right hand holds the winding wire outward, lightly drawn to a suitable distance.
2. Accurately align the winding wire and screen butt joint, then press it in evenly with index fingers.
3. According to the diagram sequence, insert the display into the slot of the printer, and push it tightly to the left.

2.3 Filament Spool Holder Installation

1. Use the H2.0 hexagon spanner and two M3x8 screws (from the screw pack) to install the filament spool holder to the side of the machine.

4.1 Printing Notices

• Regularly check the lubrication status of the guide rail and screw rod. Avoid running the machine with exhausted lubricating grease or accumulated dust/chips. Use the original special lubricating grease for cleaning and maintenance.
• Frequently replacing filament can cause wear and deactivation of the cutter, affecting cutting performance. Schedule regular checks and replacements for the cutter.

4.2 Daily Maintenance

Warmly Reminding: The PEI sheet is a consumable part. It is recommended to replace it periodically to ensure proper first-layer adhesion.

• 1. Model Removal: After the model has cooled, gently bend the PEI panel to separate the model from the panel. Avoid over-bending the panel to prevent deformation.
• 2. PEI Panel Cleaning: Use a shovel to clean residual material from the PEI panel surface. Operate carefully to avoid damaging the panel's coating layer.
• 3. Adhesion Enhancement: For small-scale models, apply a thin, even layer of solid gel on the PEI panel to reinforce first-layer adhesion.
• 4. Printer Cleaning: Regularly clean any residuals within the printer.
