Getting to Know Your Thor

07
1. As is shown, take out the upper holder on the
table and remove protective foam.
2. As is shown, take out two T-type fixed seats,
and put one of the T-type fixed seats with
sensor on the left side.
3. Slightly unfasten the screw on the T-type
fixed seat, thus the T-type screws at the
back of the fixed seat is movable.
4. As is shown, adjust the direction of T-type
screws, and insert the T-type fixed seat with
sensor into the left side of the upper holder.
5. Slightly fasten the screw on the T-type fixed
seat that has been unfastened before.
But do not fasten with too much force.
6. Insert the T-type fixed seat into the right side
of the upper holder in the same way.

positions on both sides to align the screw hole that the arrow points.
8. Insert upper holder into L-type block on both
sides.
9. Use 4 M5*25 screws to tighten the bottom,
two on each side.
10. Use 8 M4*5 set screws to fix L-type block,
four on each side.
11. As is shown, adjust 4 T-type screws (two on
each side) to screws holes of T-type fasteners
for subsequent fixing of T-type fixed seats on
both sides. (Find T-type screws in the sliding
slot on both sides).

09
12. Use 4 M4*8 screws to fix T-type fixed seats
on both sides, two on each side.
13. Tighten screws on the T-type fixed seats.
14. As is shown, clip the square clip into the groove at the bottom of extruder base, thus making the
back of extruder be close to extruder fixed seat.
15. Use 3 M4*6 screws to fix extruder. 16. Take out filament fixed seat, and get ready
for installing it on the top of the upper holder.
Attention please, make sure the side of spool
holder with the filament detector switch is
facing the front of the printer.

10
17. Use 2 M4*8 screws to fix filament fixed seat
in the back.
18. Clip extruder wiring hardness into clips on
the filament fixed seats.
19. Find [Z-axis motor cable] on both sides marked with [Z-Steeper], insert them into Z-axis motor
on both sides. Attention, the side of the plug with 2 protuberances should upwards.
20. Find [X-axis motor cable] marked with [X-Steeper], insert it into X-axis motor. Attention: X-axis
motor cable socket is under the motor, the side of the plug with 2 protuberances should upwards.

11
21. As is shown, find a shorter [Z-axis sensor
cable] on the left of the printer.
22. Insert Z-axis sensor cable into Z-axis sensor,
and sensor is inside the left T-type fixed seat.
Attention: The side of the plug with two
protuberances should be oriented to the right
of the printer.
23. As is shown, find [X-axis sensor cable]
marked with [X-Max], insert it into the X-axis
sensor socket at the back of X-axis motor.
Attention: The side of the plug with two
protuberances should be oriented to the back
of the printer.
24. Find a longer [filament detector sensor cable]
on the right of the printer, insert it into the
filament detector of the filament fixed seat.
25. Attention: The side of the plug with two
protuberances should be oriented to the
back of the printer.
26. As is shown, fix [Filament detector sensor
cable] with ribbons, hardware installation
completed.

Base line
1. Tighten the four nuts of the build plate
counterclockwise
2. Measure the height from the left side of the
X-axis to the bottom section with a ruler.
Base the height on the left, the height shall
not be lower than 120mm.
3. Then measure the height from the right side
of the X-axis to the bottom section. Both sides
must be of the same height.
4. Manually rotate the coupling under the screw
rod, adjust it and make sure both sides be at
the same height.
5. Insert power cable into supply socket on the
left of the printer.
6. Insert the power plug into supply socket, and
open the power switch.
Leveling Build Plate

Raise the build plate to reduce the distance
between nozzle and the build plate.
Rotate nut clockwise Rotate nut anticlockwise
Lower the build plate to increase the distance
between nozzle and the build plate.
Print Preheat Tools
Let us know the function of leveling nuts before leveling
There are four leveling nuts under the build plate of Thor series printer, adjust the distance
between build plate and nozzle by rotating leveling nuts.
How to use leveling nuts
7. Tap [Tools] on the touch screen, then tap [Home], the printer starts to do homing.
Tap [Yes] when zero returning finished and go back.

14
8. Put a A4 paper between nozzle and the build plate. Adjust the nut with one hand and feel the
friction by sliding A4 paper back and forth with the other hand.
[1]. If the paper slides through easily, the nozzle and the build plate are too far apart.Rotate the
nut clockwise to increase the distance between them.
[2]. If the paper cannot slide through, rotate the nut anticlockwise to decrease the distance
between them.
[3]. The distance between nozzle and the build plate is suitable when feeling sight friction when
sliding the paper. Move the extruder to the top of the second leveling point, and do leveling in
the same way. And so on, when finishing four leveling points, leveling completed.
The extruder of Thor series printer can be moved left and right, the build plate can be moved back
and forth. Please slide the extruder and the build plate manually to adjust the extruder on the top
of the leveling nut.
