2. Safety Instructions
Always follow the safety instructions during assembly and usage, to avoid any
unnecessary damage to the 3d printer or individual injury.
●After receiving the printer, please check the packing accessories first. If any accessories
are missing or damaged (non-human), please contact after-sales service within 3 days to
reissue. (If you do not contact after-sales service within the specified time, the possible costs
will be borne by the customer.)
●Wear gloves and mask to avoid direct skin contact when using. If resin splashes into the
eyes or mouth accidentally, rinse with plenty of water.
●Always use the LCD 3D printer in an open and well ventilated area. It is recommended t
o use the printer indoors and avoid direct sunlight and dusty environment.
●Recommended ambient temperature is 15-40 degrees, and the ambient humidity is 20%-
80%. Use outside of this range may bring poor printing results.
●In case of emergency, please immediately shut down the power of the 3D printer and co-
ntact the technical support.
●It is recommended to use protection glasses when cleaning/sanding the printed models
to avoid small particles contacting eyes.
●Please keep the 3D Printer and its accessories out of the reach of children.
●Please don't disassemble the 3D Printer by yourself, which will cause your warranty to ex-
pire. Please contact the after-sales service if you have any questions.
●If you do not use the machine for a long time, please pay attention to rain and moisture
protection for the 3D printer.

6.5 After the Z-axis descends and stops, gently press on top of the platform with your
hand, to let it fit evenly on the 2K LCD screen and ensure that the printing platform is
parallel to the LCD screen. Then fix the set screw as tight as possible; as shown in
picture (6.6)
6.6 The platform rises about 120mm, click on the operation screen <Return>-<Next>-
<Exposure>-<Next> to check whether the light source is working normally, as shown
in picture (6.7); The 2K screen should display the same as the picture below the image
indicates that the UV lights work perfectly; as shown in picture (6.8)
6.7 Before putting it in the resin vat, please make sure the release film is tight. If the
release film is not tight, please tighten the screw on the bottom of the resin vat to fix
the release film; then follow the steps in the figure below to install it. Put the resin vat
back and fasten the press buckles on both sides to complete the leveling. (as shown in

7.Use of Slicing Software
The 3D printer reads the slice file and cascades out three-dimensional objects.There-
fore,users need to convert 3D format files (such as stl format or obj format) into
machinereadable slice files (such as ZIP format). This process is commonly known as
"slicing", that is, "cutting" the 3D model into many Floor.Software that can convert 3D
format files into slice files is called slice software.
7.1 Installation of CHITUBOX
Open the slicing software installation package in the included U disk, select the
installation program (such as 32-bit or 64-bit) suitable for the current co- mputer
operating system type, and then start the installation; as shown in figure (7.1)

set again when logging in later. (The software has no corresponding parameters for this mac-
hine, please choose other-default and set the parameters yourself.)

3.6.2 Slice setting; as shown in figure (7.16)
You can add your own machine type, and then set the relevant data;
<Import>: Import the saved machine configuration parameters; (The attached U disk has the
recommended parameter configuration file of the machine. When slicing, directly click "Import
Configuration File" in "Slice Settings" to import the parameters.)
<Export>: Export the configured machine parameters;
(1) Machine setting interface; as shown in figure (7.17)
<Name>: machine name, you can directly enter text for custom naming;
<Resolution>: the resolution of the projector or LCD screen, this parameter directly affects the
dimensional accuracy of printing;
<Locking ratio>: Under normal circumstances, the ratio of the forming size XY = resolution ratio, that is,
the locking ratio; in some cases, such as DLP projectors, due to accuracy or machine design reasons,
the XY size is slightly different, and it may not be maintained Proportion, fill in the actual projection
size;
<Size>: The maximum forming size of the machine;

(2) Resin setting interface; as shown in figure (7.18)
<Resin type>: Different resin types have different parameters, some resins recommended by integrated
companies and corresponding parameters;
<Resin density>: Density of resin, used to calculate mass;
<Resin price>: The cost of resin, used to calculate the cost;
(3) Print setting interface; as shown in figure (7.19)
<layer thickness>: The thickness of each layer of the model is generally 0.025/0.05/0.1mm;
<Number of bottom layers>: The number of layers to be solidified at the bottom of the model.
In order to better stick to the platform, the parameters of the bottom layer need to be set
separately;
<exposure time>: exposure time of normal layer;
<Bottom layer exposure time>: the exposure time of the bottom layers, the general time will
be longer than the normal layer exposure time, let the resin cure as completely as possible, to
ensure that it sticks to the molding platform;
<Light-off delay>: Calculated from the end of the exposure of the previous layer, the final
light-off time = maximum (the total time of the Z axis moving up and down, the configured
light-off delay)
Figure (7.18)
Figure (7.19)
16

For example, the period of the Z axis moving up and down is 6 seconds:
If the "light-off delay" is set to 10 seconds, the final turn-off time is 10 seconds;
If the "light-off delay" is set to 1 second, the final light-off time is 6 seconds;
<Bottom light-off delay>: The light-off delay time of the bottom layers is calculated in
the same way as above;
<Bottom layer lifting distance>: the distance the molding platform is lifted when
printing the bottom layers;
<Lifting distance>: the distance the forming platform is lifted during normal layer
printing;
<Bottom lifting speed>: the speed at which the forming platform lifts when printing
the bottom layers;
<Lifting speed>: the speed at which the forming platform is raised during normal layer
printing;
<Return speed>: the speed at which the forming platform descends;
(4) Fill the setting interface; as shown in figure (7.20)
<Filling structure>: Selection of filling type inside the model, such as mesh structure, etc.;

(5) Gcode setting interface; as shown in figure (7.21)
<Start>: preprocessing command executed at the start of printing (can be customized);
<Interlayer>: Processing commands executed by each layer during printing (can be customized);
{image} The name of the exposure image generated;
{raise_pos} corresponds to the lifted position, it is an absolute coordinate value, value = exposure
position + lifted height;
{raise_speed} is the lifting speed, lifting speed = bottom lifting speed or lifting speed;
{fall_pos} corresponds to the position of fall, it is an absolute coordinate, value = exposure position;
{fall_speed} is the falling speed, the falling speed = the bottom falling speed or the falling speed;
{exposure_time} corresponds to the bottom exposure time or exposure time, the unit is ms;
<End>: Processing command executed at the end of printing (can be customized);
{machine_height} corresponds to the height of the machine size;
