LEVELING THE BUILD PLATE
To print good parts, the build plate needs to be leveled, and the
nozzle needs to be about 0.1mm from the build plate in all locations.
This is about the thickness of a single piece of A4 paper. You want
to adjust the height of the build plate so that you can barely slide
the paper between the nozzle and the build plate with only a little
resistance.
1. Select Temperature -> Preheat PLA -> Preheat PLA. This will heat
up the bed and the nozzle t actual printing conditions, making the
leveling more accurate. Wait for 1 minute after the machine reached
the target temperature.
2. Select Motion -> Level Corners. This will home the machine rst,
then move the nozzle to the rst corner.
3. Slide a piece of A4 paper between the nozzle and the build plate.
4. Turn the leveling knob under the bed closest to the nozzle until the
piece of paper slides, with just a bit of drag.
5. Choose Next to move to the Next Point, and repeat step 4.
6. Leveling is completed after all 4 points are leveled.
7. You may want to repeat steps 5-6 for 2-3 times for better results,
since adjusting one corner will aect other corners.
8. You may need to make ne adjustments to the bed level when
you start printing. The rst layer of the print will show whether the
distance between the nozzle and the build plate is correct. You want
it to be pushed into the build surface slightly to maximize surface
area contact while still allowing good extrusion ow.
• You can try to carefully adjust the leveling knob during the rst
layer of the print while the plate is moving until the distance
between the nozzle and the build plate is producing smooth
extruded lines.
• After you have ne-tuned the bed level during the rst layer, you
may want to stop the print, clear the build plate, and restart the
print.

PREPARING SLICING SOFTWARE
This printer works with most slicing software like Slic3r, Cura,
Simplify3D, etc. But we will go in detail for Cura software and tell
you how to set it up so that you can make your rst print. First,
we recommend you to install the software on the memory card
included, for other operating systems, please download from their
ocial site.
After installation and start the software, you should see the
following screen, continue until you see Add a printer page:
