hang up the filament(photo 2).
2. ,Insert the filament tube into the extruder gear connector bottom ,at the back
for the printer.（photo3）
3. Make the beginning of the 10 cm filament straight , then Press the extrude as per
below photo to ensure there is a gap beside the gear for filament to go through , insert the
filament to go through extruder to the nozzle bottom, then loose hand.(be sure the
filament is straight before feeding )（photo 4）
4.click home page“preheat”，come to preheat page，and click the "+" to increase
the target temperature value on the right side of the diagonal bar to about 200
degrees (the thermometer icon below can change the value added with each click),
The nozzle starts to heat up. When the left side value rises to the temperature value
set on the right, click "Back"（photo5,photo6）
5.Click the "Extrude" to enter the feeding and retract interface. The value E1 in the middle
is the length of the feeding. Each time you click the "In", the length of the feeding will
increase (click the icon of the left and right arrow below to change the size of the value
change). When the nozzle spits out the filament and spits out the set length, the feeding
is completed（photo 7）
6. If you want to change filament or take out filament from the printer, Click "extrude" to
enter the operation interface of Feeding and Retract, click "Out" to increase the length of
retract filament, until the filament come out from the printer head, the retract is
completed, and click "Back" to return.(photo 7)
(Note：feeding or retract need to be“preheat”, set the required target
temperature. Different materials may require different temperatures.

4:Platform leveling
If you find the the platform is not level properly, you need to adjust the leveling. Pls adjust these 4 screws,
rotating screw clockwise platform will go down , rotating screw counterclockwise platform will rise.
Notice: Online printing(For experienced user):
5.1:Install the USB driver(in TF card or download from easythreed.com)to computer.
5.2:Install Cura-15.04.6 slicing software(in TF card or download from easythreed.com)
5.3:The above software installation and how to print online,please refer to the electronic version of
“Nano online printing user manual”(in TF card or download from easythreed.com)
Burning , keep your fingers away from the NOZZLE and BLACK INSULATOR when the printer is
working as temperature in this area reaches over 200 Celsius degree . Always be sure to keep your hands away
from moving parts when Dora is working .
The platform was well leveled before delivery from factory,if re-level needs for
transportation or other reasons , please adjust as below steps ：
Click the home page“Leveling”，come to Leveling page(photo 12)
1，Click“Point 1”or other Point, print head will move to the relative position.
2，The standard distance between the nozzle and printing bed is the
thickness of a piece of A4 paper, move the nozzle to the lower right corner , put
a piece of A4 paper between the nozzle and printing bed , pull the paper gently
and slowly ,you will feel a little scratch on the paper , but there should be no real
scratch marks on the paper.
3，If there is a gap between the nozzle and paper ,or you do not have a gentle
feeling of scratch when pull the paper , means the distance between the nozzle
and printing bed is too far , use the screwdriver to loose the screw anticlockwise
, the bed will go up a bit
4，If there is a scratch mark on the paper , means the distance between the
nozzle and printing bed is too close , use the screwdriver to tight the screw
clockwise , the bed will come down a bit
5,Check the distance between nozzle and bed at the 4 corners one by one with
a piece of A4 paper to make sure bed leveling is finished successfully before
printing.

7.0 FAQ
Q1, Why the filament do not come out from the nozzle or the thread is too small
A1, Check temperature , Nozzle temperature needs to be higher
A2, Check if nozzle is too close to the printing bed , if so, the filament wont come out ,so adjust the distance
between nozzle and platform .
A3,Check if the nozzle is blocked
A4, The motor did not drag in the filament successfully , or the filament may be hooked by motor teeth.
Q2,The problem of print model misplaced.
A1, The model did not slice properly, need to re-slice the model or change the model position to generate
new Gcode file.
A2, The model file problem, if the model is still misplaced after re-slicing ,it’s the original file problem .

A3, The nozzle is forced to change printing path.
Do not touch the nozzle or any other parts of the machine when it’s printing for safety.
A4, Power supply is not stable
Please check if the machine is connected to power supply successfully, and make sure power supply is
stable.
Q3 , Why the printing accuracy is quite different from the real model.
A1, There is a lot of filament piled up on the model surface
A1.1, Nozzle temperature is too high, filament melt too fast and caused overflowing.
A1.2, The filament flow is too large, there is filament flow setting in slice software , change the default
value 100% to be 80%.
A1.3, Filament diameter setting problem , it’s in slice software, the default settings are different , there are
both 1.75mm and 3mm filament on the market, only 1.75mm filament can be used on Dora.
A2 , Poor surface after removing the support for FDM technology.
A2.1, The support density should be as lower as possible, 10% is proper, then it’s easy to remove.
A2.2, Trim the model with a grinding tool, rub gently with a towel which dipped a little acetone.
8.0 Printing setting
What’s printing quality ?
Printing quality is layer height , if you want better printing quality , the layer height need to be smaller and
print speed need to be slower.
What’s fill density ?
Fill density is the total filament inside the model ( the parts can not be seen). For an empty part , the fill density
is 0%, nothing inside the model, it’s light ,but weak and easy to be broken ; If the fill density is larger , much
more filament will need, also it cost much more time to print, the model will be more stronger.
Can i change the model position, scale and direction ?
Yes you can, when to adjust the model, choose it when slicing, there is a menu on the left, then you can rotate ,
scale, and mirror it , you can also input numbers to adjust.
What support ? when should i use support ?
Support need when the model is hang in the air, if you want print a ball , which just contacted the printing bed
by a point and a large area are in the air, then you need to add support for better printing quality.
If i want the fastest printing , what should i do ?
Printing quality choose “ the lowest “, set layer thickness 0.3mm, 0% fill density and shell lower thickness ,
these setting are for rapid modeling .
What’s bed leveling?
Bed leveling is the distance between bed and nozzle, the machine need to know where is the printing bed ,
otherwise , it may print in the air or scratch the bed , then you need to stop and re-print , good bed leveling

ensure good printing quality .
