D.Gettingstarted: LevelingtheBuildPlateandFilamentLoading
D1. Leveling the Printing Bed
Leveling before 3D printing is so crucial that it can inuence the quality of the print-out. If the
printing bed is too far from the extruder’s nozzles, or if one part of the bed is farther away from the
nozzles than another part, your 3D prints might not stick to the bed.
Meanwhile, if the printing bed is too close to the extruder’s nozzles, the bed can block the lament
from extruding from the nozzles. This can also scratch the printing bed and tear the PET tape on it.
When using Standard Leveling (manually adjusting)
2. Select Utilities > Standard Leveling on the
display menu.
3. Level the printing bed by adjusting the round
knobs each time when the extruder reaches to
the front, rear, left, right and center in sequence.
(Press the OK button so that the extruder move to
another point.)
NOTE:
● At this time, it is important that you should turn the
round knobs as same degree as possible at the
same time using both hands.
● If knobs are turned to the left, the gap between the
nozzle and the printing bed will increase. If knobs
are turned to the right, the gap between the nozzle
and the printing bed will decrease.
4. Upon completion of adjusting the round knobs each time when the nozzle reaches to
the printing bed in sequence, pull forward the A4 size paper and if the A4 size paper touch-
es the nozzle and slides with feeling of a little bit scratching, leveling has been completed.
Press OK button to nish the leveling.
NOTE: In CreatorK, uncheck the mark in the Auto-leveling item when generating Gcode.
1. Press the power button to start to adjust the
horizontality of the printing bed. Open the front
door and put a sheet of A4 paper onto the printing
bed before manual leveling.
NOTE: The thickness of A4 size paper is about
0.1mm and this paper is used in leveling the bed
to keep 0.1mm space between the nozzle and the
printing bed.

14
3DISON PRO User Manual V.1
D2. Leveling the Printing Bed
When using Auto-Leveling
D.Gettingstarted: LevelingthePrintingBedandFilamentLoading
1. Place the A4 size paper rst before using
Auto-leveling functions. Select Utilities > Auto-
Leveling in the display menu.
NOTE: The thickness of A4 size paper is about
0.1mm and this paper is used in leveling the bed
to keep 0.1mm space between the nozzle and the
printing bed.
3. Insert the SD Card on the top of the printer and
select the le on LCD panel. It starts to print with
auto leveling function.
NOTE: In CreatorK, check the mark in the
Auto-leveling item when generating Gcode.
2. When the extruder comes to the center, adjust
4 round knobs while trying to pull forward the A4
paper to verify the space as the same manner as
Standard Leveling (See item 4 in page 13).
NOTE:
● In case of using Auto-Leveling, it is okay to level
the center of the printing bed only before use unlike
Standard Leveling.
● It is recommendable to use Standard Leveling one
time in 10 times of Auto-leveling, or when physical
shock occurs to the printing bed.

1. Select File > Open and choose STL le you want to 3D print. Otherwise you can just drag
and drop the 3D image le into CreatorK 8.
2. When the le appears, you can adjust the size and the position of the object using the
icons below on the menu bar.
Tip. If you push “Ctrl Z” it will undo the last function. The opposite of Ctrl Z is “Ctrl Y”
which commands reverses the undo.
Mirror function
If you want to change x, y, z’s mirror, click and put the mouse pointer on the
box. Click right mouse button, and you can adjust x, y, z mirrors.
Rescale
You can adjust the size using this magnifying glass icon. By dragging up and
down mouse, you can rescale the object. And when you click on the platform,
you can rescale the object to the maximum size. If you enter one, the others
will change in proportion.
Rotation change
Using this circle arrow icon, you can rotate the object as you wish to print
out. When clicking the right mouse button, you can see the screen below.
You can rotate the object by X, Y, Z axis or by dragging it with the left mouse
button.
※ NOTE : Depending on the rotation, the quality of objects may vary. The support is created
automatically if the tilting degree of the angle is at least 45°. So this process is very important.
Position change
Using the 4 arrow icon, you can move the object. After clicking this button,
you can adjust the position using direction keyboards.(It moves 1mm per
click) And you can also move the position of the object using right button
of the mouse. When clicking right mouse button, you can see x, y, z and
center of the platform. You should choose center of platform every time
you print out.
※ NOTE : Since 3DISON is based on a FFF(Fused Filament Fabrication) method in the 3D printer,
the object piles up in layers on the plate. Therefore, if it is not fixed upon the surface, you may not
get the result you expected.
