The extruder made by special materials,
and also uses a more advanced design
technology, the extrusion have more
stable and longer life.
No Blocked
The new generation nozzle has formed a
perfect solution that can prevent block the
nozzle.
Accu. Feed Exclusively design filament feeder, the use
of professional precision gear motor can
ensure feedrate filament accurately.

Unpacking and Installation
1. Carefully unpack boxes, take out the printer carefully, and do not
touch the axis. Plug in the power cable and turn on the power
switch.
2. Observe the LCD screen, press the knob switch, select “Prepare”
and press the knob to confirm.
3. Select “Auto Home”, and press the knob to confirm.
4. Wait two corbel table rises more than half then turn off the switch.
5. Take out the table panel, filament, feeder and other items.
6. Fix the feeder to the back of chassis with the screw, pay attention to
the order of the feeder, there is label on the both side, for
dual-nozzle, mainly feeder is on the left side, the feed tube is at the
Mainly

corresponding position as well.
7. Fix the table panel to the prop arm, note two corbel is inserted
between the work surface and the tray, as shown below:
8. Screw 6 screws below the table panel, be sure to tighten.
9. Repeat step 3, waiting table panel back to zero position, and turn
off the power switch.
10.Push the slider on both side of the cross, so that the extruders are
move to the four corners of the table panel, check the distance
between the table panel and the nozzle.
11.The distance from the nozzle to the table panel is about 0.1mm, the
distance too close will affect the wire spit out, if too far, the spit out
wire is hard to stick to the table panel.
12.Stick the
double-sided
adhesive tape
(Kapton) to the
table panel; it
can be used
repeatedly until
the stick so far.
To repeatedly adjust
gradually narrowing
then distance
between the nozzle
and the workbench

Software and Driver installation
1. From then CD or here download the installation package, follow the
prompts to install the software, please try to use the default
installation path, the path must not contain Chinese character.
2. Plug the power cable, connect the USB cable to the computer, open
the printer switch, the computer will prompt the discovery of new
hardware, follow the steps below to install the printer driver:
Open Device Manager, locate the newly installed hardware, right
click "unknown device" and select "Update Driver Software".
At then pop-up window, select “Browse my computer for driver
software”, click “Browse” button locates the driver folder at
your software installation path at step 1.
The system will automatically search for the appropriate driver,
and you will select
“Always install some
driver software”.
Finally, remember your
printer COM port, for
example “COM3”.

Installing and Replacing Filament
1. Important notes: “Installing and replacing filament must heat
extruder firstly”, heating method reference later.
2. Install the axletree to the chassis at the corresponding screw hole.
3. Put filament reel on the axletree, ensure filament without wrapping,
knotting and other anomalies.
4. Heated nozzle up to 200 degrees.
5. Sharpen filament head, easy to cross through tube:
6. Feed the filament through the feeder, until reach the extruder, as
show as below:
7. Tighten the clamping screw
of the feeder.
* Important Note: Any
pluggable filament must
have heated nozzles, or will
damage your printer.

Brief Slice and Printing Procedure
1. Open“CreatBot 3D Printer V4.x”software:
2. Click “File”-> “Load model file”load model file.
3. Click “File”-> “Save GCode”.
4. Copy the GCode file to SD card, use SD card printing the model,
and you can also printer the model at mentioned below:
5. Connect printer with USB cable, click “File”->“Print”following
printing screen, wait till connected to the printer, it will
automatica
lly start
heating;
while the
temperatur
e reaches it
will start
printing.

Usage of Cura Software
The software's main role is to slice model into a series of
two-dimensional plane pieces, each piece according to the shape
dimension generate different paths to generate three-dimensional
model GCode entire code, also called slices code, the exported file
called slice files, extensions named ".GCode". Most of the software
parameters have been optimized, and have helped prompt function.
Parameters at left column,
there are basic settings,
advanced settings and plug-ins,
a three-dimensional view at the
right column, you can view the
model from different angles,
the model can also resize, rotate,
mirror and other operations.
1、Preferences。click“file”->“Preferences”, as shown below:

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE
“Extruder count” Please choose according to your situation,
change the number of nozzles only take effect after you
reboot the software.
“Extruder2” You can fine-tune the position of Vice-nozzle,
which according to the actual situation stud print calibration,
3DCPI-03 printer defaults to using X-20, Y0 configuration, if
your printer to print double-color model has a misalignment
occurs, appropriate modifications X , Y offset value.
Keep in mind the "main nozzle model color" to help you
identify which part of the model will printed by main nozzles.
Other parameters please use the default value.
2、Basic setting. As shown:
Layer height in millimeters.
This is the most important
setting to determent the
quality of your print. Normal
quality prints are 0.25mm,
max value is 80% of the
nozzle diameter.
Thickness of the walls,
generally set this value to an
integer multiple of the
diameter of the nozzle. Wall
thickness=outer wall + inner
wall.
Enable retraction means that
when nozzle across the
non-printing area

3DCPI-03 START-UP GUIDE
withdrawing a certain amount of filament in order to eliminate
the phenomenon of draglines.
Top / bottom thickness is the thickness of the upper and lower
models, usually a multiple of layer height.
Fill density controls how density filled the insides of your print
will be, a value around 20% is usually enough.
Speed at which printing happens. Print speed is affected by
many factors, it is recommended to use low speed for complex
model, high speed will cause the feed shortage, need improve
