Cautions
•Do not place the printer in vibrating or other unstable environments, as the
shaking of the machine will affect the print quality.
•Do not touch the nozzle and heat bed when the printer is working to prevent
high-temperature scaled and personal injury.
•After printing, please take advantage of the residual temperature of the nozzle
and clean the filaments on the nozzle with the help of tools. Do not touch the
nozzle directly with your hands during cleaning to avoid scald.
•Please do product maintenance frequently, and regularly clean the printer body
with a dry cloth to wipe away dust and sticky print material under the situation of
power off.
•3D printers contain high-speed moving parts, so be careful not to get your hands
caught.
•Children must be supervised by adults when using the machine to avoid personal
injury.
•In case of emergency, please cut off the power directly.

Supplementary Introduction
Special Case:
The bottom slide block has been adjusted before leaving the factory, but the pulley of
the machine may become loose due to the transportation. If the build platform of the
machine is shaky and loose, an open spanner can be used to slowly twist the eccentric
isolation column under the platform until the slide block slides smoothly and does not
shake.
Similarly, if the print head is shaky is loose, the corresponding eccentric isolation column
can also be adjusted until the print head slides smoothly without shaking, and the
pulleys on both sides of the gantry also have corresponding eccentric isolation columns
that can be adjusted.

Level Interface
Auto Leveling
When first running the machine, the distance between the platform the nozzle needs to
be calibrated in the levelling mode, which is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper.
•When the printer is powered on, select [Level]
•Each axis of the printer automatically returns to the origin. After entering the
levelling interface, place a piece of A4 paper between the nozzle and the printing
platform, and click the compensation value to adjust the distance between the
nozzle and the printing platform. (See picture 2), by pushing and pulling the
paper with the friction generated to complete the center point calibration. Then
click the auxiliary levelling [ ] and use A4 paper to calibrate the remaining six
points of the platform by hand-tightened knobs, and each point can be
completed by generating friction on the A4 paper.
•After completing the auxiliary levelling, enter the automatic levelling for
automatic celebration.
•The machine will enter the heating state: the nozzle is heated 140°C, the hot bed
is 60°C. (Please preset the hot bed temperature according to the temperature of
the consumables to achieve a more accurate levelling value).
•After reaching the preset temperature: start the 63-point automatic calibration.
•After the levelling is completed, se the Z-axis compensation: place a piece of A4
paper between the nozzle and the printing platform.
Click the compensation value and push and pull the A4 paper to complete the
compensation and levelling when friction is generated.

Note that the levelling sensor only detects the metal platform plate, for example,
replacing the glass platform for levelling will not produce detection effect, which will
cause the nozzle to squeeze the platform.
Similarly, you can directly click the automatic levelling [ ] to calibrate the printing
platform (See picture 4). After levelling is completed, set the Z-axis compensation: place
a piece of A4 paper between the nozzle and the printing platform, click the
compensation value and push and pull the A4 paper to complete the compensation and
levelling when friction is generated. (The front auxiliary levelling is to improve the
evenness of the platform and make the compensation effect of automatic levelling
better.)

Model Test
Print Head Feeding Check
1. First push the filaments to the bottom of the print head.
2. Click [Prepare] - [Extrudert], click [Load], the temperature of the nozzle will be
automatically heated to 200°C.
3. After the nozzle is preheated to 200°C, click the feed to extrude the filaments
from the nozzle.
4. Clean the melted filament of the nozzle before printing.
Notice: Consumables with different hardness have different requirements for the spring
strength. The spring strength of the extruder can be adjusted with an Allen wrench.
When turning counter clockwise, the spring strength is increased, and the spring
strength is decreased clockwise.
Start Printing
•Insert the TF card into the card slot of the printer.
•Click [Print] on the main menu and select the model file.
•When the nozzle and the heat bed reach the preset temperature, the X, Y, Z axis
will return to zero, and then start printing.
Notice: When printing the test mode, please observe the first layer printing. In cases A
and C, the compensation settings are not properly adjusted. Compensation adjustments
can be made during printing to adjust the distance between the nozzle and the
platform. In case B, the nozzle and the platform have reached a proper printing distance
and can continue printing.

18
As shown in the picture:
When fine-turning, please switch the moving distance to 0.01mm or 0.1mm to prevent
the nozzle from extruding the platform excessively or filament hanging in the air.
The nozzle i stoo
close to the
platform, resulting in
insufficient
extrusion.
The extrusion volume
and distance between
the nozzle and the
platform is proper with
uniform adhesion.
The nozzle is too far from
the platform and the
adhesion is insufficient, the
model may fall of the
platform during printing

19
Resume Printing Description
Power Loss Recovery:
If you want to continue printing because of sudden power outage or accidentally turn off
the power of the machine, this function does not need to be set manually. When the
printer is reconnected to the power supply and turned on, just click resume to continue.
(Please note that the PEI platform has a better adhesion effect when it is heated, but it
will cool down if the power is turned off for too long, causing the model fall of easily, and
the resume printing cannot be completed).
Filaments Detection:
This function is to remind the user to replace the filaments before continuing printing
when the mode is half-printed, which effectively prevents the model from being
scrapped due to insufficient consumables.
Software Installation
Tips: You can use a card reader to copy the data in the TF card to the computer storage.
Our slice software is modified from Cura open source slice software, in order to better
match wit our company’s machines for printing and meet the needs of our customers.
The software installation steps are as follows:
Open the TF card of the machine to select the path \ Software and Software Drivers
folder \ ELEGOO Software folder \ Double-click the ELEGOO-Cura application to install it.
Follow the prompts in the installation process to the next step.
Finally, select the corresponding model of our company as shown below to complete the
settings.
