www.longer3d.com [email protected]
Printer Model: the model number of the printer.
Temperature: the temperature of LED.
Serial Number: the ID of the printer.
Firmware Version: the version of printer’s firmware.
5.6 Leveling
1) Turn on the printer, move up the Z axis, take out the building plate,
install it as the picture as shown below.
2) Loosen the four leveling fixed screws with hexagon wrench 4mm to
make the building plate can move along Z axis freely.

3) Loosen the “vat fixed screw”, take down the resin vat, and put a
pieces of A4 paper on the LCD screen. Move down the building
platform to home position, press and hold it, then fasten the leveling
fixed screws diagonally.
4) Drag the A4 paper and feel the force of dragging the paper. The
leveling is suitable when it needs some force to drag the paper.
However, the home position is high when it can drag the paper easily.
On the contrary, the home position is low when it needs large force to
drag the paper. Then it needs to level the platform again.

position is finished. Then, install the resin vat, tighten the vat fixed
screw, pour into the resin. It needs to add resin manually if the volume
of model is bigger than resin left in the vat during printing.

Click Open icon to load stl model. It needs to open files separately to
load different models. Select the model, three submenus appear
under the open icon, such as translate, rotate, scale, and an edit dialog
shows in the left bottom (The model presents blue when selected,
otherwise presents grey).
A popup window “model is out of range, please scale it” will show if
the size of the model exceeds building volume in some dimensions. It
needs to scale model when the size is out of range.
6.7 Edit
There are three edit submenus: translate, rotate, scale. The frame of
submenu appears red if it is selected.
Translate: select the model and translate icon, one way to adjust the
position is to click up and down arrow or input the desired number
directly, the other way is holding down the left mouse and drag.
Rotate: select the model and rotate icon, input rotation angle in the
blank, or hold down the left mouse and drag it by 15° intervals.
Scale: select the model and scale icon, input scaling factor or size
number in the blank. Or hold down the mouse wheel and scroll up and
down. The size of model will change along XYZ axis by equal scale.
Clone: make a copy of the selected model.

Reset: recover to the original status.
Maximize: the model change to maximum size within building volume.
6.8 Fix
Fix: check out the error(s) of the selected model, such as holes,
non-manifold, inverted normal, and click Fix to auto-repair the error(s).
If there are some errors that cannot be repaired by software, it needs
to use other professional software to fix, such as Netfabb, Magics,
otherwise model cannot be printed
