1. Open the carton and take out lid on top of the
printer. On the lid, there is one quick start, one
after-sales service, one SD card, one leveling
card and two build tapes.
3. Lift the printer out of the carton.
5. Tear off tapes at the printer bottom, remove
bubble bag outside the printer.
6. Take out the foam on the top of the printer.
4. You will find a tool bag and one USB cable.
2. Take the power cable out. Remove two top foam
sheets.

10. Remove the foam from the back of the logo
board.
11. Hold both sides of the printer, lift up the printer
slowly, thus removing filament under build
plate easily. Do not make build plate collide
with extruder.
8. Remove bubble bag outside the extruder, put
extruder on the extruder mounting base.
Notice: The extruder should be put as is shown
(extruder fan should towards the front of the
printer)
7. Open the paper box on the top of the printer,
there is an extruder, two side panels and an
extruder's accessory kit inside. Take the
extruder and the paper box out, notice that
the cable bunch connected with extruder is
short, do not hang the extruder in the air.

9. Shear three ties off on both sides of X-axis guide rod.

12. Take out the paper board. 13. Take out filament first and then remove foam.
15. Finally press build plate slowly to printer
bottom.
14. Notice: Do not miss either filament spool
holder on two pieces of foam.
16. Inventor unboxing completed.
Suggest keeping packing materials well for
follow-up storage and shipping.

Berfore leveling, let's learn the funciton of thumb screw.

Start the adjustment process
with the right nozzle, then use
the distance between the right
nozzle and build plate as a
reference.
Attention: Leveling would affect print effect directly, if print result is unsatisfactory,
please do leveling again.
6. Take leveling card out, on the basis of right side extruder, put leveling card between right
nozzle and build plate. Slide leveling card back and forth and adjust thumb screw in the
meantime.
If you can move leveling card easily, please rotate thumb screw clockwise to reduce the
distance between build plate and nozzle. Otherwise, rotate thumb screw anticlockwise to
increase the distance between build plate and nozzle.
If you feel slight friction sensitivity when moving leveling card, the distance between extruder
and leveling card is proper, thus adjustment compeleted.
7. After the first leveling point completed, tap [Next]. The extruder will move to the second leveling
point. Adopt same method to adjust. After three leveling points (above knobs of three leveling
points) completed all, leveling completed. Tap [Finish] to end leveling process, tap return
arrow to go back to home screen.
8. Press build plate slowly to printer bottom.

1. Ensure that the build plate has been leveled
before printing.
2. Ensure that the filament has been loaded in
an appropriate approach.
3. Load the filament for a while to extrude all
the melted filament you printed last time out
of the extruder.
4. Print with ABS filament, install top cover, close
the front door. Print with PLA filament, remove
top cover, open the front door.
5. Please clean extruder before printing.
6. Do not leave the printer unattended during
operation.
