1 Instructions for Use
Do not use this printer by methods or operations not described in this manual, otherwise it may result in accidental
injury or property damage.
Do not place this printer near flammable materials, explosive materials or high heat sources. Please place this
printer in a ventilated, cool and low-dust environment.
Do not place this printer in a vibrating or any other unstable environment, as the printing quality will be
compromised when the printer shakes.
Please use the filament recommended by the manufacturer, otherwise the nozzle may be clogged or the printer
may be damaged.
Do not touch the nozzle or hotbed while the printer is in operation, otherwise you may get burned.
After the printing process is complete, please use tools to clean up the filament on the nozzle while the nozzle is
still hot. Do not touch the nozzle with your hands when cleaning, otherwise your hands may get burned.
Please regularly clean the printer body with a dry cloth while the power is off, and wipe off dust, sticky printing
materials, and foreign objects on the guide rails.
This printer has a safety protection mechanism. Please do not manually move the nozzle or printing platform
quickly while the printer is on, otherwise the printer will automatically power off for protection.
Users should abide by the laws and regulations of the corresponding country and region where the equipment is

5 Install the Printer
5.1 Install the nozzle module and wire clamp
5.2 Install the gantry
A.Move the right profile of the bottom module 35 mm out of the desktop to reveal the installation hole.
B.Place the gantry in the slot of the chassis, and pre-lock it with two M5x45 hexagon socket round screws with
spring washers from the bottom to the top.
C. Rotate the base module 180° to ensure that the profiles on both sides are level up and down. Use two M5x45
hexagon socket round screws with spring washers to align the holes on the left side of the hole to pre-lock, and
then tighten to fix.
D. Rotate the base module 180° and tighten the screws on the right side.
A.Place the nozzle module on the back of the extruder, pre-lock the nozzle with 4 M3x6 hexagon socket head cap
screw, and then tighten it.
B.Clamp the wire clamp onto the X motor black plate.
Use the short side of the wrench when tightening the screws.

1.Connect the nozzle to the 24-pin port as shown in the figure. 2.Follow the yellow label on the 6-pin (4 wires)
port to connect the X-axis and Z-axis stepper motors. 3.Connect the X-axis limit motor according to the yellow
label on the 3pin (2 wires) port. 4.Connect the 3-pin (3 wires) 2.0 port to the pinboard, and connect the 3-pin (3
wires) 2.54 port to the filament detector. 5.The LED light 3pin (2 wires) 2.54 port is connected to the expansion
port of the adapter board.
Caution:
● Please ensure the correct position for the power supply switch and mains before
supply connection, in order to avoid damage to the device.
●
If the mains between 200V and 240V, please select the 230V for the power supply
switch (default is 230V).
● If the mains between 100V and 120V, please select the 115V for the power supply switch.
6 Auto Leveling
1.Go to "settings" and tap "leveling" to enter the CR Touch leveling interface.
Tap "start" and wait for the automatic leveling to complete.
(Please use the CR Touch for automatic leveling first. If the CR Touch lights up in
red and it cannot be leveled, please use the auxiliary leveling again.)

7 Assisted Leveling
Go to Settings → Leveling → Assisted Leveling. Tap numbers ①/②/③/④/⑤ respectively.
2.Return to the previous menu. Enter the assisted leveling interface. Adjust the Z-axis compensation value so
that the height from the nozzle to the printing platform is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper. Return
to the previous menu, and the Z-axis compensation value will be configured.
(The CR Touch leveling will fail when the platform inclination is greater
than 2 mm. In this case, please use assisted leveling instead.)
The gap is about the thickness of
a piece of A4 paper, and there is
a slight resistance when pulling
the paper.

2.Turn the knob at the bottom of the hotbed and move the nozzle to the four corners of the printing
platform so that the gap between the nozzle and the printing platform is almost the thickness of a piece
of A4 paper (0.08 to 0.1 mm). Ensure that all the four corners are leveled.
The nozzle is too far away from the platform,
and the filaments cannot stick to the platform.
The nozzle is too close to the platform,
and the filament is not extruded enough,
which may damage the platform.
The filament is evenly extruded and sticks
to the platform just right.
A. In order to successfully load the filament, please trim the end of the filament at an angle of 45 degrees.
B. Press the filament until it passes through the filament detection hole. Then press and hold the extruder
handle to insert the filament into the extruder hole until it reaches the nozzle.
C.Warm up the nozzle. If the filament flows out of the nozzle when the temperature reaches the target value,
the filament is properly loaded.
8 Loading the Filament
Replacing the filament:
1.When the printer is not printing:
A. Heat the nozzle to 185℃ or higher, wait for the filament in the nozzle to soften. Then press and
hold the extrusion handle to quickly extract the filament to prevent it from clogging in the heat break.
B. Place the new filament onto the rack and repeat the steps in Section 8: Loading the Filament.
2. When the printer is printing:
A. Pause the printing. After the printer stops, press and hold the extrusion handle and quickly extract
the filament to prevent it from clogging in the heat break.
B. Place the new filament onto the rack and press it through the filament detector. Press and hold the
extrusion handle to insert the filament into the nozzle. Then push the filament to squeeze out the
residual filament in the nozzle and clean up the nozzle before resuming printing.

it to the memory card.
Before printing, please check the printer again following these steps:
When the printer is powered off:
1. The nozzle is tightly connected and moves smoothly to the left and right.
2. The X axis is horizontal and stable (not wobbling up or down), and it moves run smoothly up and down.
3. The Y axis is tightly connected. The platform does not shake and moves back and forth smoothly.
4. The filament rack does not shake. The rollers are smooth. The filament extrusion is smooth.
When the printer is powered on:
1. The screen display and touch work properly. The movements of the X, Y, and Z axes are smooth.
2. The nozzle and hotbed heat up properly.
3. The feed and return of the filament works properly.
