Auto-Leveling
Before your rst print, and anytime you remove the build plate,
you’ll want to run an auto-level to ensure that your parts adhere
well to the glass. Follow the procedure below to run an auto-
level
1. Make sure the nozzle temperature is in room temperature
2. After connecting the automatic calibration sensor to the
green line of the mobile platform cable set, properly cover
the nozzle with the white sponge ring.
Please gently put the sensor
on the nozzle. If the nozzle
touches the plastic lm, it
will cause calibration errors.
Do not touch
the running fan
to avoid injury!
Connect the platform

and oil from the surface of the glass. DO NOT use colored paper
towels or white board cleaners.
3. Click [ Control ] > [ HOME ] > [ Bed Calibration ] on the
LCD screen to auto-leveling.
4. After the automatic calibration is completed, the automatic
calibration sensor will be removed

6. Touch the LCD screen to preheat the nozzle to the
working temperature of the material, for example,
PLA is 200° C.
1. Place the filament spool
on the holder so that
the working end of the
filament hangs down to
the right.
2. Cut the end of the
filament at an angle as
illustrated.
3. Gently straighten a
segment about 5 cm
(2”) from the end with
your ngertips to make it
easier to feed the lament
through the sensor and
the extruder.
4. Remove the filament
sensor from its holder
and feed the end of the
filament through the
sensor in the direction as
indicated by the arrow,
then into the tube on the
right side of the extruder.
5. Pinch the extruder idler
lever and push the
filament past the gear
and into the bowden tube
just past the pneumatic
connector.
Pass the coil to the beginning of the
circle shown in the gure
Place the Sensor Module
back when it is not in use.
Do not touch the heated nozzle
and the heated build plate to
avoid burn scald !

2. When the nozzle reaches the specified temperature,
click [ Macros ] > [ Unload Filament ]
3. Hold the lament sensor and carefully rotate the spool while
the lament is unloading to avoid tangles.
4. IMPORTANT: When removing the end of the lament from the
sensor, carefully string the end through the hole in the spool
to avoid overlapping and tangles. These WILL cause lament
jams and failed prints.

Swapping Hotends
Atom 3’s hotend is easily swappable so you can print with
dierent materials at dierent temperatures. While we always
recommend using the default, PTFE-lined hotend for use with
PLA and many other low-temperature materials, the included
all- metal hotend allows you to print with materials which
require temperatures hotter than what PTFE can handle. As
always, please remember to use your printer in a well ventilated
area.
1. Preheat the hotend and unload the lament.
2. Cool down the hotend, then turn o the machine.
3. Remove the Bowden tube from the eector by removing the
plastic pneumatic connector clips and depressing the top of
the connector while pulling the tube.
4. Disconnect the heater and thermistor connectors from the
cable harness.
5. While holding the hotend, use a 1.5 mm hex wrench (included)
to loosen the two headless hex screws on the side of the
heat sink below the eector, and the hotend should be easily
removable.
6. Replace the hotend in the same orientation and tighten the
screws.
7. Reconnect the heater, thermistor, and Bowden tube, ensuring
that the tube is pushed all the way in.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and Maintenance
• Regular care and maintenance will keep your Atom 3
looking and working like new for years. Please follow these
care and maintenance guidelines for each component of
your machine.
• Clean the machine’s frame with a damp, lint-free cloth.
• Clean the glass build plate with rubbing alcohol or another
ammonia-free solvent and a soft, lint-free cloth such as
microber.
• Lubricate the magnetic control arms with PTFE or lithium
grease on at least a monthly basis. This can be done by
applying a small amount of grease onto the magnets of
the control arms which function as a lubricant reservoir.
After a few prints, wipe away any excess grease from the
ball joints with a lint-free cloth.
• The carriages have been factory calibrated to ensure many
thousands of hours of consistent, precision movement. If
after an extended period of time they seem loose or noisy,
they may require adjustment or lubrication.
• To adjust the wheel spacing,
• USE ONLY silicone lubricant on the wheels when
they seem noisy
• Use a dry brush to clean the extruder gear’s teeth when
they become clogged or when the gear starts to slip.
• Clean the LCD touchscreen display while the machine is
powered o using a soft cloth. DO NOT use any solvents
or cleaning uids on the display.
