Enter the Menu from “position” to
“home all” . Back to the beginning ,
unlock the motor from “quick
settings” to “ Disable stepper”
2. Move X axis to the first
position of the Hotbed .
Put the card between the
nozzle and the hotbed gap.
Tight the screws.
3. Clamp the card and
move to the next point.( 4
points as the picture
showed)

Installation of filament
1.First preheat the nozzle:
Enter the menu from Quick settings”
to “Preheat PLA(ABS)
2. Insert the filament to
the extruder( or push the
filament into it by hand)
and control the rotation
of the extruder. Make the
filament get to the nozzle.
3. Keep feeding the
filament till the nozzle
spin. Warning:
1.Make sure the clipper is not too loose or tight, otherwise the
filament feeding will cause printing trouble.
2. Check if the filament twists or knots after the filament is
installed. Make sure the filament feeding smoothly.
3.Lubricate X,Y axis and sliding block to avoid being stuck.

File printing
1. Open slice software, choose STl
file to slice. Put the sliced file into TF
card
2. Insert TF into the
machine.
3. Enter the menu and
choose “SD card” or “print
file”, choose your print file.
4. Z axis will move up when
print completed. Heating the
