Operation steps:
5. Friction status of the three points should be as uniform as possible. Pay attention when traveling the head downward, especially when the nozzle is getting too close to the bed.
Even though the height detect protection will take effect and force the machine to go 0.06mm each press, the heated bed may also get burnt if you continuously move it
downward without testing the height with a piece of paper.
4. The recorded points will not be lost after power-off. But, once entering 3-point leveling mode, previously recorded points will be cleared automatically.
3. Only Z coordinates will be recorded, so all you need to do is adjusting the height with a piece of paper.
2. 3-point leveling mode can only be entered with 3D printing head connected.
6. A re-assembled machine should be re-levelled.
Note: 1. Please access to www.dobot.cc to check for upgraded firmwares!

Fine tuning:
This function allows users to fine tune the zero of Z-axis according to bonding status of the first layer, in case the zero point is not satisfactory
after standard setting procedures. For instance, if the zero point is too high and causing bonding failure of the first layer:
Note:
1. For the 3D printing function, only the zero of Z-axis need to be set and recorded. Zeros of X-axis
and Y-axis are system default values and will not and cannot be changed.
5. If your printer prints in the mid air, the zero point must be wrongly set. After correct zeroing and
homing, the coordinate of Z should be about 190.
6. Please be prudent with the “ ” button, pressing it will change zero point of the
machine. If the fine tuning value remains 0, the operation will record current height of the nozzle
as zero point. If the fine tuning value is not 0, the operation will update zero point of Z-axis using
fine tuning value you set.
4. The zero point will not be lost after power-off, so there’s no need to reset it. However, the zero
point may be deviated and needs to be reset after the machine is reassembled or the functional
module is switched.
2. Too high Z-axis zero position will lead to loose bonding at the bottom, causing the model falling
off, and too low position will make it difficult to take off the model or even scratch the heated bed.
Dedicated fine tuning is always required to obtain satisfactory first several layers. If the zero
point is too high, please use a negative fine tuning value and use a positive fine tuning value if
the zero point is too low.
3. Pay attention when moving the head downward, especially when the nozzle is getting too close
to the bed. Even though the height detect protection will take effect and force the machine to go
0.06mm each press, the heated bed may also get burnt if you continuously move it downward
without testing the height with a piece of paper.
Press the “ ” button to fine tune the
zero point with the value you set. The machine
will home again after successful updating
Press “ - ” button to set a
negative fine tuning value

Description of key profile settings:
Layer Height: For the height of each layer of printing, smaller value will produce finer
surface, but cost more printing time. Suggested range is 0.05 to 0.3, not exceeding
3/4 of the diameter of the nozzle. MOOZ used 0.4mm nozzle, means not exceeding 0.3.
Wall Thickness: For the printing thickness of the outer surface of the model, the
setting of 1.2 indicates that the outer surface will go three rounds, since the width of
each round equals to the diameter of the nozzle, namely 0.4.
Top/Bottom Thickness: Determine the bottom/top thickness of the model.
Infill Density: Determine the filling density of the internal grid of the model, generally set
at 15% or less.
Printing Temperature: Need to be set according to filament type. Suggested value
for PLA is 190~220℃, and for TPU is 210~230℃.
Build Plate Temperature: Need to be set according to filament type. Suggested
value for PLA is 60℃~80℃, and for TPU is 60℃~80℃, and for PETG is 75℃~80℃, and for
Wood is 30℃~50℃。
Diameter: Set filament diameter to 1.75.
Travel Speed: Travel speed should be set no greater than 40mm/s, otherwise the
Z linear actuators may lose some steps when traveling downward from home position
too fast and cause zero point deviation.
Support Placement:If the model has any hovering part, the option must be
switched on. Generally, "Everywhere" indicates that support can be added on the model
itself. If you select "Touching build plate", it indicates that support can be added only
between the print platform and the model hovering position, not on the model.
Build Plate Adhesion:Brim: A few layers of outer ring should be added on the bottom
edge of the model so as to prevent warping.
Raft: Get the whole model raised by adding a raft-like base on the bottom when the
heated bed leveling status is small or not satisfying.
Note:
1. Hover the mouse over the option, and the corresponding hint will appear.
2. Right-click anywhere within the parameter setting area, you can “Configure setting visibility”.

1. Compared to PLA, soft filament like TPU requires higher printing temperature to reduce feeding resistance, recommended value for
TPU is 210℃~230℃.
1. The filament runout detection must be turned off to preheat the nozzle, and the preheating process will be interrupt if the filament
runout detection is turned on during the process.
2.8 Filament Runout Detection
2.9 Notes for Printing with Soft Filament
The 3D print functional module is designed with build-in filament detection sensor.
3. The filament detection sensor module has adopted modular design. If you do not need the function, or if the sensor is not working,
you can unplug the temperature sensor cable (white) from the module, remove the module connecting cable (black) from the PCB
board on the bottom of plastic cap, and plug the temperature sensor to the PCB board directly. Refer to Section 6.4.4
③ Wait for new filament
to be installed
① Pause and save current
printing process
② Retract the filament residue to
avoid clogging issue, beeper on
④ Continue the
process
2. If the filament runs out during printing, state of the sensor will change from “runout detection turned off” to “runout detection
turned on”, and the filament runout detection function will work as follows:
2. You must reduce extrusion force when printing with soft filament, please refer to step 4 in Section 6.4. Different kinds of soft
filament may vary in required extrusion force. Since extrusion force is proportional to the spring force, inadequate or
intermittentoff feeding issue will occur if the spring force is set too small.On the other hand, if the spring force is set too big, the
filament may curl inside the extruder under high feeding resistance condition. You need to test it according to the soft filament.
3.Recommended heated bed temperature for TPU is 60℃~80℃

Warning : Heated bed (including the glass and magnets) is a fragile component, please operate with care! Do not mount and dismount it regularly during daily use.
Gently separate the heated bed glass and workbench. Changing CNC Tool
Put the dust washer on the
workbench and align the holes. Install the length adjustment
screw into the clamp.
Put the MDF plate on the dust washer and
align the holes. Adjust the position of the
fixture according to the size of the workpiece,
and tighten the four screws to fix the fixture.
CNC dustproof gasket
Note: Please be sure to tighten the screws to fix the platform. Check them regularly in case of looseness after long time use.

4.2 Install the CNC Bit
4.3 Set the Zero Point
Zero point
Operation steps: ①Rotate counterclockwise to expand
the chuck with the wrench
②Insert the CNC bit into
the chuck as far as you can ③Rotate clockwise to clamp the CNC bit
Operation steps: Similar to laser engraving (Refer to Section 3.2 for details on setting the zero point)
Warning: When setting the zero point, use a small step distance in the end (0.1 / 1mm) so that the CNC bit does not accidentally hit the workpiece.
Note: 1. Keep the tool tip just or about to touch the upper surface of the workpiece in case of setting Z-axis zero point.
2. The current fixing method may damage the surface of the workpiece, and the user may place a block between the hex screws and the workpiece as needed
to compress the workpiece, provided that the block shall not interfere movement of the tool.
3. CNC chuck is easy to get rusty for long-time exposure to moisture. Please regularly apply anti-rust oil. In case of not in use for a long time, please remove
the entire module and wrap it with plastic bag!
4. The linear actuators contain precision components, please be sure to install the dustproof gasket to prevent intrusion of flying chips.
5. The machine may produce disturbing noise during working, you may leave it somewhere away from people and wait the work to be done.
6. Always use vacuum cleaner to remove the produced sawdust, blowing it away will contaminate the linear actuators and affect service life of the machine!
7. Please decide whether there is collision risk between the tool and CNC clamps according to the size of workpiece and pattern you about to carve, elevate the
workpiece with block, or put plastic spacer between the workpiece and clamp if necessary.
