1.7 Load Filament
1. Open left lament holder cover
and top lid, insert lament
through the right hole on top
of the lament holder.
3. Insert lament through Tef lon
tube.
2. Place lament roll into
the holder and close the
lament holder cover.
4. Insert lament into the hole
on top of the extruder, and
close top lid.

11
5. Click the “Adjust” button on the main menu on the touch screen, then click
“Load lament” button.
6. The extruder heats up the lament and extrudes the lament out of the print head.
7. If the lament doesn’t come out, click the “Extrude” button.
8. Click the “Finish” button after lament is extruded from the print head.
1.8 Print 3D Models
1. Click the “Print” button on the main menu on the touch screen. You should
see a list of pre-installed les.

12
2. Choose any le you want to print.
3. Conrm the information on the screen, check the lament roll to make sure
you have enough for the print.
4. Apply two thin layers of glue to the print bed with the supplied glue stick
before continuing. Then, click the “Continue” button.
5. Your model will start to print at this stage.
1.9 Post-Process for Printed Objects
After printing has nished, use the supplied scraper to remove the printed object
from the print bed.
Remove excess lament and 3D model support carefully.
Tips: Use small tweezers or pliers (not included) and wear gloves and eye protection (not included) to remove
excess filament.

II. Learning To Use The Touch Screen
On the touch screen, you can install / uninstall lament, and print a few pre-
installed models.
2.1 Preheat
This is useful for preparation for demonstration or cleaning the print head.
Click the “Preheat” button on the main menu on the touch screen. Toggle the
button to heat up / cool down the print head. The goal temperature can be set
up on the settings page.
2.2 Print 3D Models
See section 1.8
2.3 Load Filament
See section 1.7
2.4 Unload Filament
1. Click the “Adjust” button on the main menu on the touch screen, then click

14
the “Unload lament” button.
2. The extruder heats up the lament and soon pulls the lament out of the print
head.
3. If the lament doesn’t come back from the top of the extruder, click the
“Retract” button.
4. Take out the lament and click the “Finish” button.
Note: When not in use, please insert the filament end into the hole on the edge of the filament roll, to prevent
tangling.
2.5 Adjust Level of Print Bed
Note: With our special printing algorithm, this operation is not necessary for most cases, unless the print bed or
the extruder has changed.
1. Click the “Adjust” button on the main menu on the touch screen, then click
the “Adjust level” button.
2. The print bed will move up and position itself to point A.
3. Click arrow buttons to adjust the gap between the print bed and the print
head. Fold a piece of print paper twice (about 0.4 mm thick), and insert into the
gap. Find out a proper gap that the paper right not able to move any longer.

15
4. From the slot on the back of the print bed, loosen the fastening screw under
point C with a M2.5 Allen wrench.
5. Click the “Go to C” button to point C.
6. Use the supplied adjustment tool to rotate the gear under the point C until
the gap is 0.4 mm. Then go back to the point A and fasten the fastening
screw.
7. Test the gap at the point A. If the gap changed, re-adjust step 3 to step 6.
8. Click the “Go to B” button and adjust the gap of point B, which is similar to the
steps of adjusting the point C.
9. Check the gaps under all three points. If gaps differ too much, redo above steps.

16

to continue. Please see details in the next section.
2.6 Adjust Gap
1. Click the “Adjust” button on the main menu on the touch screen, then click
the “Adjust gap” button.
2. The print bed will move up and the extruder moves to the center.
3. Click arrow buttons to adjust the gap between the print bed and the print
head. Fold a piece of print paper twice (about 0.4 mm thick), and insert it into the
gap. Find the proper gap where the paper will not be able to move any longer.
4. Click the “Save” button to nish.
2.7 Settings
Preheat TMP: Setting up the preheat goal temperature. When you load

17
or unload the lament on the touch screen, the print head heats up to this
