How to use the nuts Build plate goes up Build plate goes down Rotate the nuts clockwise Rotate the nuts Anticlockwise Raise the build plate to reduce the distance between the nozzle and build plate. Lower the build plate to increase the distance between the nozzle and build plate. 1. Put a piece of A4 paper on the build plate, tap the touchscreen [Control] - [Level] and wait for the extruder moving to the rst leveling point. Click the arrow to adjust the platform so that it just touches the nozzle Z axis oset: 1.5 Next Back 2. Lightly pull the A4 paper and feel the friction. If the friction is too big to move, tap [] to increase the distance of nozzle and build plate; if the friction is too small, tap [] to reduce the distance of nozzle and build plate. It is better that pulling the paper and feel the signicant frictional resistance until the slight scratches appear without damage. Tap [Next] to do the second level point. 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 3. When the extruder move to the second point, pull the A4 paper to feel the friction resistance. If the friction is too big to move, rotate nut anticlockwise to increase the distance of nozzle and build plate; if the friction is too small, rotate nut clockwise to reduce the distance of nozzle and build plate. It is better that pulling the paper and feel the signicant frictional resistance until the slight scratches appear without damage. Tap [Next] to do the third level point. 4. The third leveling point repeats the second point leveling operation until the three-point leveling is completed. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 Loading Filament 1.

The adhesion of glass build plate may decrease after long time using. Please apply proper amount of glue to keep and improve the adhesion. 2. Warping issues may occur when print ABS lament in cold environment, you may use glue to enhance the adhesion. It's not recommended to print ABS lament at extreme-
ly low temperature environment, as print will fail when printed model getting away from the build plate. 3. There is a certain quivering on the build plate during the printing which may cause atness changed. Thus please pay attention to the adhesion of the rst layer when printing model; if the distance of build plate and nozzle is improper, please re-level it. 4. If printing eect is not accurate enough, check the tension of synchronous belt and make it neither too loose nor too tight. When synchronous belt working well, check the transmission ratio under Setting. Turn up the transmission ratio if the size gets smaller, or turns down the ratio if the size gets larger. 5. If X-axis assembly shakes, adjust the distance between the pulley and the structural section properly using an open-end wrench; the pulley is well adjusted when you cannot go on rotating it. 6. Optimal temperature for printing is 18~30. Too high or too low temperature is not good for printing results. 19 20 21 22 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 17 FAQ QHow to get the rmwares?
