Note: Please put the high-temperature filaments in a dry box for printing, otherwise humidity
will affect the print quality.
Precautions for the Use of High Temperature Filament
If the high-temperature filament is not used up, put it in an aluminum foil bag in time. If
the filament is wet or the surface of the print has obvious drawing, it means that the
filament is damp, and it needs to be dried in an industrial oven before use.

1. Brief Introduction
MD Series Industrial 3D Printers adhere to the design concept of the simple to the extreme. It can print
product quickly and easily, even if you've never used a 3D Printer.
The printer prints the model with PLA, so the products will be strong and durable. You can make drilling,
tapping, grinding and painting on the PLA models. MD Series 3D Printers combine proprietary hardware,
software and filament technologies creatively.
Welcome to a new world of 3D printing!

2. Overview
The printing process of the MD series 3D printer is as follows: the slicing software CURA convert the .stl
document into a .gcode document, and 3D printer read the .gcode document and print the raw material into a 3D
product.
Cura is a slicing software that runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.
The product size and print size of MD series 3D printer are as follows. Each filament holder can hold at least
1kg of printed filament, 1 kg filament can continue to print for about 120 hours, you can also add a second roll of
filament for continuous printing.

MD Series Industrial 3D Printers have Resume Printing Function and Filament sensor, which can greatly
save the client's losses.
Resume Printing Function: During the printing process, if the power is off, the machine will save the data.
After powering on, follow the on-screen prompts to continue unfinished print jobs.
Filament sensor: If the filament is not detected when printing, the machine will automatically pause
printing, install new filament, and click the Continue button on the screen to continue printing.
Below we will take MD-600 Pro as an example to introduce the function and use of the printer:

In this 3D printer, the print head moves in the X-axis (left and right) and Y-axis (forward and backward) directions on the panel,
and the entire panel moves in the Z-axis (up and down) direction. The printing platform is fixed when the printer is working.

3. Installation
Take out the tool box Plugged in Turn on the power switch
Note: Tool boxes and other accessories
are in the cabinet storage room

Install the filament (Take PLA filament as an example )
1. Hung filament on the shelf, and insert the filament through the filament sensor.Then through
the auxiliary feeding gear and bearing, through the adjustment wrench with hand (red circle position),
and then through the square hole at the micro switch and the round hole on the middle baffle
2. Pull away the shrapnel at the filament inlet and insert the filament into the extruder inlet.

3.Click the heating button , select the nozzle, set the temperature to 200°C , and the nozzle will
automatically heat up to 200°C.
4. When the temperature rises to 200°C, insert the filament into the extruder, click "Menu" ,
"Extrude" , and click the extrude button to feed the filament.

4. Auto Bed Leveling
Click the leveling button , Click the Start button , and the printer will automatically start
to run the leveling program.
(Note that if there is a collision during the leveling process, please press the emergency stop switch
immediately; During the reset and leveling process, please do not put your hand into the chassis to avoid
pinching)

Printing the Test Files
Click on the Print icon, choose a gcode file which you want to print.
Tip: You can adjust the babystep according to the adhesion of the first layer of filament. After the
adjustment is completed, click Save, then you can print directly next time without any adjustments.
If the distance between the nozzle and the platform is too high, the
filament will not easy to stick to the platform. Should click "Decrease"
until the distance is proper.
Keep a proper distance between the nozzle and the hot bed, so that
the filament stick to the hot bed evenly.
If the distance between the nozzle and the platform is too low, the
filament will be not easy to feed out smoothly . Should click
"Increase" until the distance is proper.

6. General Maintenance
Daily Preventive Maintenance
500 Hours Maintenance
About every 500 hours you should clean up the printer.
1.Clean the door and do not use ammonia-containing cleaners to avoid damaging the window. An
ethanol cleaner can be used.
2. To clean the guide rails, first wipe the sides of the guide rails with anti-rust paint and re-add
lubricant.
3. Check the screws, check if the mounting screws such as the synchronous wheel, optical axis and
motor are loose. If it is loose, it should be tightened in time.
1. Before printing, reset the Z-axis to check the distance between the nozzle and the platform to prevent
the nozzle from scratching the platform.
2. Before printing, check the smoothness of the guide rails. Regular lubrication can ensure the printer
runs efficiently and stably.
3. Before printing, preheat the nozzle to check feeding. If it is not smooth, clean or replace the print
nozzle assembly.
4. After printing is completed, clean all the accumulated filament and stains on the printing platform, the
guide screw and the inside of the printer.
5. Filament that are not used for a long time should be sealed and stored. Excessive absorption of
moisture from the air can make the filament brittle.

Dismantle the Model
Warm prompt : The MD series 3D printer display is a full touch resistance screen, click to enter the content
item. We recommend to use your fingernails and do not press hard on the screen.
1. Move the print head up: Select "Menu" , "Move" , "Z+" to raise the print head to a
suitable height.
2. Take the model: After the platform has cooled, the model can be removed directly. If it cannot be
removed, the PEI platform can be removed and bent to take the model out.
