All instructions assume you are looking at the front of the printer during
assembly.
1. Use the packaging material to lay the printer on its side so that you can
see the holes on the bottom. Position the vertical portion of the frame
opposite the holes in the bottom, align the holes on the bottom of the
vertical frame with those on the horizontal frame, then use the included
2.5mm hex wrench and 4x M5x20 screws to secure the vertical frame
to the horizontal frame (2 screws on each side).
2. Place the printer on its feet so that you have access to both sides.
The Z Axis Lead Screw is stored inside the Left Y Axis Carriage Bar
and is secured in place using two plastic brackets. Use the 2.5mm hex
wrench to remove the plastic brackets. You will need to move the bed
backward to access the rear most bracket. Remove the Z Axis Lead

Screw from the Left Y Axis Carriage Bar, then replace the plastic
brackets and tighten the screws to secure them in place.
Using the included 3mm hex wrench, loosen the screw in the top of
the motor coupling, so that the Z Axis Lead Screw can be inserted.
Insert the Z Axis Lead Screw through the hole in the top of the frame,
then thread the it through the hole on the extruder housing until the
unthreaded portion of the screw is fully inserted into the motor coupling.
When it is properly inserted, the top will be ush with the frame. Tighten
the screw loosened in the previous step to secure the Z Axis Lead Screw
to the motor.
Using the 2.5mm hex wrench and 2x M4x6 screws, x the LCD Display
Module to the the printer frame. Insert the plug into the back of the module.
Align the t-nuts in the frame with the holes on the lament holder, then
using the 2.5mm hex wrench and 2x M4x6 screws, secure the lament
holder to the frame.
Mount the extruder hotend to the bracket on the X Axis Gantry by aligning
the positioning rods and magnets. Ensure that the cables are on top.
Plug the three cable connectors into the appropriate connections on the
front left side of the Left Y Axis Carriage, beneath the Z Axis Lead Screw
storage location referenced in step 3 above.
SETUP

OPTIONAL WI-FI SETUP
You can connect the printer wirelessly to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi® network to print
models from your Android™phone or tablet. Perform the following steps to
setup the Wi-Fi connection for your device.
1. Open Notepad on your PC to create a new le.
2. Copy the below block of gcode into the empty text le.
3. Replace the SSID in the gcode with your network SSID and the
PASSWORD in the gcode with your network's password. Your password
cannot contain any semicolons.
4. Save the le using the lename WiFi.gcode onto a microSD™card.
5. Insert the microSD card into the card slot on the printer.
6. Select Print from the printer's Main Menu. The printer will read the
contents of the microSD card.
7. Locate and select the WiFi.gcode le. Once the printer centers the print
head, the process has been completed and your printer should connected
to your Wi-Fi® network.

Notes:
1. You may have diculty connecting to the Wi-Fi® network if you have a
2.4GHz and 5GHz network with the same SSID. Try changing the SSID of
the 5GHz network if this occurs. For best results, move the printer to a
location closer to the Wi-Fi router or access point.
2. The printer cannot use both a Wi-Fi and USB connection.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
INSTALLING Cura
As you've seen, you can print a model directly from a gcode le on a
microSD™card and this is the preferred method, as it does not require
a continuous connection to your computer. You can download gcode les
to the microSD card and print them without having to build any model les.
However, you can create your own gcode les using an open source
program, such as Cura or Repetier-Host, which are pre-installed on the
microSD card that comes with the printer. These programs use 3D models
(typically .STL or .OBJ les) and, using machine specic information,
generate a gcode le with detailed instructions for the printer to create the
selected model. We recommend you start with Cura, since it includes a
Slicing Engine.
1. Use a card reader to read the contents on the included microSD™card.
Locate and double-click the Cura_4.0.0.exe le to start the setup program.
13
Note that in the above gcode block, there are four lines that start with a semicolon.
The 1st, 3rd, and 4th lines have a single space after the semicolon and the 2nd line has
two spaces after the semicolon. These spaces must be present, so do not use a text
Teditor that strips trailing spaces.

2. Click the Next button on the Welcome screen, then click the I Agree
button on the License Agreement screen.
3. Use the le browser to select an install directory or accept the default
directory (recommended). Click the Install button to continue.
14

4. The program will start installing.
5. Click Close to complete the installation and launch the Cura program.
6. Click Settings > Printer > Add Printer...
15

7. Click the Other option, then choose the MALYAN MA10 Mini entry.
Click the Add Printer button to continue.
8. The Machine Settings screen will be displayed. Click the Close button to
nish the Cura installation.

Repetier-Host
You can also install Repetier-Host from the le on the included microSD™
card. The screenshots below show the proper Repetier-Host settings to
use for this printer.
