Due to transportation reasons, the Z axis wire rod may not move smoothly or get stuck, the belt is
loose, and so on. The following steps can be used to fine-tune the product.
1. Z-axis screw debugging:
When the machine is not moving smoothly in the direction of the Z axis or is stuck, please loosen 2
M3 fixing screws of the motor components of the right and left Z axis or 4 M3*8 fixing screws of
the screw nut. Manually rotate the X-axis assembly to the highest point, then lock the 4 M3*8
screws in the screw nut. Also, manually turn the X axis component to the minimum, and then lock
the power unit 2 M3*8 screws (4 M3*8 screws of proper screw rod screws can be unscrewed if
there is any problem. The power will not be switched until the X-axis component is returned
smoothly.
X axis assembly
2. Belt adjustment:
If the belt is too loose or too tight, loosen the M4*8 screw slightly, and then drag it back or move
it forward. The elastic degree of the belt can be adjusted, and the screw can be locked after
being adjusted

3.Unload filaments：
Click on the red

The temperature
reaches the target
temperature
Click preheating
Straightening the front end
of the filaments, press the
extruder clip with your
hand, insert the filaments
into the hole of the
extruder until the nozzle is
in position. When the
filaments flow out of the
nozzle, the filaments have
been loaded
select “Z offset”. put one A4 paper between
the nozzle and platform, pulling the paper
backwards and forwards, if it happens to have
a little bit of resistance, that is well
spaced.Then click "Set Z to 0". (Observe distance)
4.Unload filaments：

Step 1: move the printing head to the nearest boundary point of the platform by
hand, as shown in FIG. (1). Then place an A4 paper between the nozzle and the
platform (2).Then move the printing head to another boundary point of the
platform, and repeat the above operation to adjust the leveling, until the four
points around the platform and the middle of the platform have been leveling
completed (if leveling nut adjustment fails to meet leveling, it can be adjusted via
upper and lower adjustment of z-axis adjusting block, and then fine-tuning with
leveling nut until the platform leveling).

Attention!!!If the platform is uneven, the first layer of printing may be as follows :(1)
too high (partial/integral) (2) too low (partial/integral) (3) moderate ; As shown in the
following figure
AB
C
4. Verify platform flatness and print test：
too high
Filament
A phenomenon: the gap
between extruded
consumables is too large to
even touch the platform

Step 2: click "tool"→ "manual" →"return to zero”, then the three axis will automatically
return to the origin, and then click" emergency stop "to close the motor.
Finally, plug in the SD card and click “print”.（attention direction ）The model has
been sliced and attached to the card. Choose one of them to print, such as "Cat (mobile
phone stand)“, After waiting for the temperature to reach the target temperature, it will
automatically start printing.

B phenomenon:
inadequate extrusion

The on-line printing signal is transmitted by the computer through the data
line, and the unstable factors such as signal interference are very easy to
exist. Therefore, it is recommended that customers use offline printing as
much as possible
Install

Connect the computer with data cable, it is not possible to install the driver
automatically when you first connect to the computer, so to check
whether the driver is installed successfully, right-click on the computer and
select "my computer", click properties and select "equipment manager". If
the exclamation mark as shown in the figure below, you need to manually
install the printer driver to the computer

Parameter
setting
Thickness：Important parameters that determine the print quality, typically
0.4 nozzle is set to 0.2
Print temperature：PLA 200 ℃，ABS 240 ℃，Other filaments can be
consulted
Platform temperature：PLA:45 ℃; ABS:80 ℃，Other filaments can be
consulted
Adhere type：Increase the adhesion of the first layer of the platform model
and reduce the edge sticking or peeling when the model is printed
Filament diameter: filament diameter is 1.75mm
