Thanks
For choosing our product
PRISMA Series Desktop 3D Printers inheriting the design concept of the simple to the extreme.
Use it can build parts quickly and easily, even if you’ve never used a 3D Printer.
The printer use the ABS or PLA to produce the model, so the parts are strong and durable. ABS or
PLA material also ensures that you can model for drilling, tapping, grinding and painting. PRISMA
Series Desktop 3D Printers creatively proprietary hardware, software and materials technology
together. Welcome to a new realm of 3D modeling!

2. important safety notices and regulatory information
3. information about supported printing supplies
4. detailed Description
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions ensure the proper use of the printer and prevent the printer from being damaged. Always follow these pre-
cautions.
1. use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. Avoid printer overload caused by the multiple devices attached to your power
outlet.
2. make sure that the printer is properly grounded. Otherwise, it may result in electrical shock, fire, and prone to electromagnetic inter-
ference.
3. Before to remove or repair a printer, please contact the local service representative. Please see the “support” part of the user guide.
4. only use the power cord that came with the printer. Do not damage, cut or repair the power cord. A damaged power cord has risk of fire
or electric shock. Please use approved power cord replace damaged power cords. Do not allow metal or liquids to touch the internal parts
of the printer. Otherwise, it may result in fire, electric shock or other serious injury.
5. in any of the following cases, please turn off the printer, and then unplug the power cord from the power outlet:
• Printer smoking or abnormal smell
• The printer makes strange noises that never produced during normal operation
• Metal or a liquid (not part of cleaning and maintenance routines) touches internal parts of the printer
• Thunderstorm weather
• Power off
This guide uses the following categories.
Note: potentially dangerous situation, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Warning: potentially dangerous situation, if not avoided, may result in serious injury.
High temperature surface: the hot surface symbol indicates a high-temperature equipment. When working close to the hot parts,
make sure to be careful and wear safety gloves.
Gloves: When performing some maintenance procedures, the machine may be hot, so need to use gloves to avoid burns.
Safety glasses: Please wear safety glasses to avoid eye injury.
Lifting hazard: when lifting the printer, there are need two or more persons co-operate, in order to avoid causing serious injury.
Recovery: Use the correct method for recovering materials and packaging materials.
ESD: When using electronic components or work around these parts, please use standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.

CHAPTER2
INSTALLATION
2.1 Install Machinery
Take Out the Machine，can not pull the optical axis inside the machine, otherwise it will cause deformation of the optical axis.
2.2 Install the Material Shelf
Step 1: Use the M3 screw, which attached in the accessory box
Step 2: Plugged in.
Step 3: Turn on the power switch.
2.3 Dismantle the Model
1. Click “Application” on display panel, Enter the “Manual” control, Choose “Z” (which means Heating bed move up and Down ), click
on the to let hot bed fell to a suitable height.
2. Click BACK to return, then click on the hot bed pattern to BED PREHEAT interface, input 80 and turn “on” hotbed temperature
is automatically heated to 80°C.
3. About 2 minutes heating, Gently off the model with the scraper knife.

7
2.4 Paste the Masking Tape
Tear the broken tape and paste a new one, pay attention not to overlap and too large clearance.(If the tape
is not broken, it can be reused).
2.5 Install the Material (for example, PLA materials)
1. Click Control Panel from “Unload” to “ head preheat”, adjust the extrusion nozzle temperature to 205°C. Turn “ON” ( left), extrusion
nozzle temperature is automatically heated to 205°C.
2. Insert the material
3. When the temperature rises to 205°C, press the material at the entrance of shrapnel, insert the material, the material squeezing
down, if the material is melted and flow out from nozzle, and the material is inserted successfully.

2.6 Manual Calibration
NOTE. BEFORE CALIBRATION, YOU NEED TO DISMANTLE THE MODEL AND PUT A NEW TAPE.
2.6.1 Preparation for Calibrating
1. Click “Application” on the display panel, Enter the Manual control.
2. Click on the Z axis reset icon, the hot bed will rose to the maximum height.
3. Click on the red icon，the motors will be unlocked.
2.6.2 Adjusting the overall height of the Printing Platform
Observe the distance/Gap between the printing nozzle and printing platform.
If it is greater than 0.5 mm, you can rotate height regulation nut up or down, and reset Z Axis Home until the gap about 0.1 mm (about
one A4 paper thickness). Before shipment, factory has adjusted height of platform, you can get into the fine tuning steps directly.
2.6.3 Fine Tune the Printing Platform
1. Let the hot bed rose to maximum height and Cancel the motor lock, then the printing head can be lightly pushed to everywhere by
hand. It can be moved by Manual Control.
2. Observe the distance/Gap between the printing nozzle and printing platform, it should be about 0.1 mm (about one A4 paper thick-
ness). You can check the gap by inserting a sheet of A4 into it, then move the extruder head to the plate 4corners in order, under this
way. If the gap is too large or too small, adjust the fine tuning nut (as following picture).

2.7 Printing the Test Files
Click on the SD card icon, chose a gcode file which you want to print. Click on print icon, the machine will automatically start to print.
，When printing bottom layer, Observe the print nozzle. If the material can not pasted on the hotbed, you need to Adjusting nut coun-
ter clockwise. If the tape was broken, you need to Adjust the nut clockwise.

CHAPTER7
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
7.1 Daily Preventive Maintenance
1. After the completion of each production, cleaning the printing plate and all of accumulated materials with lead screw. If not, can
cause the printing platform is not in a horizontal position, or stuck at the printing platform in its upper limit.
2. Check the printing nozzle. After the completion of each production, you should examine the nozzle to ensure without accumulated
materials. if there is, please clean the nozzle parts. Because it will cause parts quality problems.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the print production Chamber in order to absorb all residual material and extrusion materials.
4. Clean the door, do not use ammonia-based glass cleaner on the door, otherwise it will damage the window. Use only ethanol
cleaner
5. Periodically lubricate the axes X,Y and Z
7.2 Maintenance
7.2.1 About every 500 hours should clean up the nozzle parts
1. Cut off the printer power completely.
2. Loosen the screw on the heating blocks
3. Use sleeve to twist down the nozzle, take out feeding tube.
4. Take out the new feeding tube from kit, cut 52 mm then install in original
7.2.2 2000 Hours Maintenance
After running more than 2000 hours, printing nozzle would impair. May be there are have a negative impact with the surface flatness
and details of the model. The steps of maintenance as same as the “ 500 hours maintenance” to change new feeding tube, and replace
with a new printing nozzle in the kit.

14
CHAPTER8
TROUBLE REMOVAL
Without power 1. Verify whether the power cord is firmly inserted.
2. Turn on the power switch, whether the power switch is on or not.
3. Verify whether the AC wall socket is provided or not.
Not extruded material Materials may be stuck in the nozzle, please refer to 500 hours maintenance.
Belt Movement Caton Please check the lubricating condition, wipe oil on the optical axis and evenly lubricate
again. Another possibly reason is rack affected by external force during transport
SD card read abnormally SD card damaged; SD card slot damaged; SD card inserted deep insufficient; the slots
line is loose.
Nozzle can not heat Heating tube is not connected; heating tube damage; temperature control tube damaged;
power tube damaged;
