How to levelling the bed for the first time?
The entire platform consists of beams, brackets and four glass
platforms.
Ⅰ Leveling platform manually
1. Turn on the printer.
2. On touch screen, press “Move axis” -> “All home” to return the axis XYZ to zero.
3. Then press “-Z” until the “ Z ” value become 0 and the nozzle go near to the
platform.
4. Adjust the 4 nuts under the beam so that the bracket is in a horizontal
position parallel to the beam.
5. Move the extruder by hand to 4 corners and center of bed. During this
movement, tighten or loosen 4 black nuts below the bed to make sure the
distance between nozzle and bed is 0.05mm -0.1mm around. (Approximately the
thickness of one piece of paper)
6. Repeat above movement process several times and finally adjust the
platform so that each platform is positioned horizontally relative to the
X/Y plane. Leveling the 4 glass platform in return.
Ⅱ Auto leveling
1Go to "Settings "--" auto leveling "— " Probe on the screen. Wait for the Probe to complete.
2.Enter "setting" -- "Z home" on the screen, confirm the height of Z
platform is 0 on the status page, and Observe the distance between the
nozzle and the platform.
3.Z offset (Servo Z offset) is in the automatic leveling menu option. If
the nozzle is too far away from the platform, increase the Z offset value
(0.1mm each time); If the nozzle is too close to the platform or even
touches the platform, reduce the Z offset value (decrease by 0.1mm each
time).
4. Probe need to be redone once you increased or decreased the Z offset.

Load Filament
Preheat head Straightened filament
1.Preheat the hotend before loading filament.
2.Straightened filament and check the filament do not self-winding.
3.load filament,and fix it on the filament shelf.
4.load the filament until filament beyond quick fitting. Insert
filament to extruder hole manually and through it until melted and flowing
naturally.(Or choose extrude filament on touch screen).
5.Tighten the compression nut, tightness appropriately. Do same like the photo in
red area. (Do not overtight, otherwise filament will be cut off. )
Notice: Pressed filament too tight or too loose will affect normal wire feeding.
