Leveling Platform
Printer Operation
Ⅰ Leveling platform manually
1. Turn on the printer.
2. On touch screen, press “Move axis” -> “All home”
3. Then “-Z” -> 100mm.
4. Move the extruder by hand to 4 corners of bed. Tighten or loosen 4
black nuts below the bed to make sure the distance between nozzle and bed
is 0.2mm around. (Approximately the thickness of one piece of name card)
5. All home secondly.
6. "-Z"-->100mm secondly. Focus on the distance between the nozzle and
bed. It needs to be 0.1mm around. If the distance too far, increase Servo Z
offset value (+0.1mm each time). If too close or touch the bed, decrease
Servo Z offset value. (-0.1mm each time).
Ⅱ Auto leveling
1: Enter "Setting"->"Auto leveling" ->"Probe". Machine will start to detect
25 points.
Note: Servo Z offset means vertical height between nozzle and detector
when probe needle outstretch. It is a fixed value if you don't change hotend
or detector.

Hardware Installation
1. Ensure the packing is not broken.
2. Need two people at the same time.
3. Lift it out by grasping the frame, not the belt or rails.
4. Turn on the printer, enter "Move axis" menu, select "All home", the bracket
will rise, now you can takeout filament.

Unload Filament
Printer Operation
1. Enter "Filament" menu ->"Unload filament", and select the head you want
unload.
2. Wait for the nozzle heated to a suitable temperature.
3. After reching temperature, feeder will send a certain number of filament,
and then automatically withdraw filament.
4. To manually unload filament, same as above mentioned.

Pull out filament
Warning: It is strictly prohibited without heating nozzle.
Tip: If filament stuck in the guide tube, continue printing several lengths and retry.

Sharpen and straighten filament head
1.Preheat nozzle first.
2.Twist the printed parts,and load filament
roll. Get filament through guide tube until extruder.
Sharpen and straighten filament head,and check
filament if they wind themself.
3. Loosen pressure nut (no need to
remove),put filament into extruder hold and press
filament to nozzle,until filament are extruded well.
(Using skills see page 34)
4.Tighten pressure nut. (twist pressure nut
8~12 times after nut touch spring. Neither too
loose,nor too tight)
Notice: Pressed filament too tight or too loose will affect normal wire feeding.
