Assembly Steps
Step 1
Mount the thermistor to the heatblock through the
threaded hole of M4.
Step 2

Step 3
Put the heatbreak fixing seat into the threaded end of the heatbreak
through the middle hole, the V slot of the heatbreak fixing seat faces
the screw, and the side plane of the heatbreak fixing seat faces the
thermistor direction. Then screw the heatsink into the thread of the
heatbreak M4 and lock it.

Step 8
Install the nozzle: Heat the heating Hotend to 285 °C without
filaments, use the H6 open spanner to tighten the nozzle with a
torque of about 2.5 NM (see nozzle hot tightening assembly process
for more details).

Step 1
Hot - tightening is the last mechanical step before XG Hotend is ready!
It is essential for the sealing of the nozzle and heatbreak to ensure that
molten filaments do not leak out of the hotend during use.
Step 2
Using the printer’s control software (or LCD screen) to set the hotend’s
temperature to 285°C. Wait one minute after its temperature reaches
285°C to equalize the temperature of all components.
Step 3
Gently tighten the nozzle while fixing the heatblock with a
wrench, and tighten the nozzle . This will keep the nozzle close
to the heatbreak and ensure that the hotend does not leak.

Hot - Tightening
Step 4
The tightening torque of the hot nozzle is about 2.5NM, which is
about the pressure applied by one finger on the small wrench.
