Notes
Do not make any modifications to the device. To avoid personal injury or property
damage please ensure your operation as followed as the Guide.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keeping your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Do not directly touch the nozzle and build plate to avoid high-temperature burn.
Do not operate the printer in flammable liquid, gas or dust environment (The high
temperature generated by printer operation may react with dust, liquid, and flamma-
ble gas in the air to cause a fire.)
Do not put the printer into the situation in which an unstable environment. The
printer quality will be affected.
Children and untrained personnel are not allowed to operate the printer alone.
Operate the device in a well-ventilated environment. Some materials may produce
odors during the printing process.
Do not manually move the nozzle and printing platform mechanism while booting
up, otherwise the device will be damaged.
Never use the device for illegal activities.
Never use the device to make any food storage vessels.
Never put the model into your mouth.
To lower the build plate before loading/unloading filament. The distance between
the nozzle and build plate should be kept for at least 50mm.
Keep the device with regular maintenance, to wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust
and adhered printing items.

Hardware Assembly
2. Install the material rack on the back of printer.
1.
Glass Build Plate
Unlocked
Rotate 180° to the outside
Put the glass build plate on the heating platform and insert it into the limit postion
assembly, then locked by snaps. The four edges of glass build plate need to be aligned
with the platform.
Locked

Strictly follow the filament loading direct (as showed) and Insert the filament into the
intake. It needs to press the handle to push filament into filament feeding roller until
certain resistance is sensed.
Note：Please ensure the filament direct is the same as the picture showed, or it will
cause the print failure.
Power On
Plug in the power cord and toggle the switch to turn on the power. Do not disconnect
the cables when Aries is powered on.
Attention
· Damage might occur if voltage setting is
incorrect. Make sure the current input
voltage matches to your local power
supply (115/230V).
· Plug in power cord and turn power
switch to 1 to turn it on.

How to use the nuts
Rotate the nuts clockwise
Raise the build plate to reduce the distance
between the nozzle and build plate.
Lower the build plate to increase the distance
between the nozzle and build plate.
Rotate the nuts Anticlockwise
Build plate goes up Build plate goes down
Leveling Build Plate
1. Put a piece of A4 paper on the build plate, tap the touchscreen [Control] and [Level] and
wait for the extruder moving to the first leveling point.
Berfore leveling, let's learn the funciton of nuts.

Lightly pull the A4 paper and feel the friction. If the friction is too big to move, tap[↓] to increase
the distance of nozzle and build plate; if the friction is too small, tap[↑] to reduce the distance of
nozzle and build plate. It is better that pulling the paper and feel the significant frictional
resistance until the slight scratches appear without damage. Tap 【Next】to do the second level
point.

When the extruder move to the second point, pull the A4 paper to feel the friction resistance. If the
friction is too big to move, rotate nut anticlockwis to increase the distance of nozzle and build
plate; if the friction is too small, rotate nut clockwis to reduce the distance of nozzle and build
plate. It is better that pulling the paper and feel the significant frictional resistance until the slight
scratches appear without damage. Tap 【Next】to do the third level point.
The third leveling point repeats the second point leveling operation until the three-point leveling is
completed.

The auto-load is start to load the filament when
the targeted temperature reached. Do not stop
loading when the nozzle extrudes the filament.
It is suggested that load the filament evenly
then tap 【OK】.

First Print
1. Tap [Build].
2. Tap [Disk].
4. Tap [Build] icon.
3. Select model.
1. Ensure that the build plate has been leveled
before printing.
2. Ensure that the filament has been loaded in an
appropriate approach.
3. Load the filament for a while to extrude all the
melted filament you printed last time out of the
extruder.
4. Please clean extruder before printing.
5. Do not leave the printer unattended during
operation.
