1. Open the carton and take out lid on top of the

printer. On the lid, there is one quick start, one after-sales service, one SD card, one leveling card and two build tapes. 3. Lift the printer out of the carton. 5. Tear off tapes at the printer bottom, remove bubble bag outside the printer. 6. Take out the foam on the top of the printer. 4. You will find a tool bag and one USB cable. 2. Take the power cable out. Remove two top foam sheets. 01

10. Remove the foam from the back of the logo

board. 11. Hold both sides of the printer, lift up the printer slowly, thus removing filament under build plate easily. Do not make build plate collide with extruder. 8. Remove bubble bag outside the extruder, put extruder on the extruder mounting base. Notice: The extruder should be put as is shown (extruder fan should towards the front of the printer) 7. Open the paper box on the top of the printer, there is an extruder, two side panels and an extruder's accessory kit inside. Take the extruder and the paper box out, notice that the cable bunch connected with extruder is short, do not hang the extruder in the air. 02 9. Shear three ties off on both sides of X-axis guide rod.

12. Take out the paper board.

13. Take out filament first and then remove foam. 15. Finally press build plate slowly to printer bottom. 14. Notice: Do not miss either filament spool holder on two pieces of foam. 16. Inventor unboxing completed. Suggest keeping packing materials well for follow-up storage and shipping. 03

How to change language

3. After language setting completed, tap return arrow to go back. 2. Plug the other end of power cable into socket, turn on the power switch. Follow steps above if you need to do language setting. Leveling 1. Take power cable out and plug it into power input on the right side of the printer. 11 02 03 01 04

Please adjust the front thumb screw under

Platform when stop. Next 4. Tap [Level]. 5. Extruder starts to move to the first leveling point. When moving stops, level the first leveling point. Filament Level Home Setting Status About Manual Rotate thumb screw clockwise Rotate thumb screw anticlockwise How to use the thumb screw Build plate goes up Build plate goes down 12 Berfore leveling, let's learn the funciton of thumb screw.

Start the adjustment process

with the right nozzle, then use the distance between the right nozzle and build plate as a reference. Attention: Leveling would affect print effect directly, if print result is unsatisfactory, please do leveling again. 6. Take leveling card out, on the basis of right side extruder, put leveling card between right nozzle and build plate. Slide leveling card back and forth and adjust thumb screw in the meantime. If you can move leveling card easily, please rotate thumb screw clockwise to reduce the distance between build plate and nozzle. Otherwise, rotate thumb screw anticlockwise to increase the distance between build plate and nozzle. If you feel slight friction sensitivity when moving leveling card, the distance between extruder and leveling card is proper, thus adjustment compeleted. 7. After the first leveling point completed, tap [Next]. The extruder will move to the second leveling point. Adopt same method to adjust. After three leveling points (above knobs of three leveling points) completed all, leveling completed. Tap [Finish] to end leveling process, tap return arrow to go back to home screen. 8. Press build plate slowly to printer bottom. 13
