Note: Because of change in tightness by tighten screws on the build plate, it have
to adjust the height of Z-axis. If twitch a piece of A4 paper and feel little
resistance or no resistance, tap [0.1mm] and the height of Z-axis decline 0.1mm.
If twitch a piece of A4 paper and feel large resistance, tap [0.1mm] and height of
Z-axis rise 0.1mm. Over and over. The perfect state is pulling out the paper and
you still feel some resistance.

Tap [Back] to come back and tap [Set Z=0] to set the height of the current
build plate to zero. Then tap [Manual] to lift the build plate upper.
Expect for the first time print, it also need leveling after replacement of build
plate and new screen；if there are some printing issues, like printed model can
not stick build plate, leveling operation may required to slove it.
If twitch a piece of A4 paper and feel the large resistance, press (not heavy) the tap
of the build plate with one hand to let four corners of build plate to touch the LCD
screen evenly. And just tighten lightly the screws in the front and right side of
cradle head first. Then tighten again. If twitch a piece of A4 paper and don’t feel
the large resistance, tap [0.1mm] in the touched screen and twitch paper and feel
the resistance again. Repeat it, until feel the large resistance from paper. Then
tighten all screws.

5. If you do not print within a period of time, it suggest that pour the residual resin
into the resin bottle. The residual resin must be filtered by using filter paper first.
At last, close the power and clean the printer, especially build plate and resin
box, by using non-dust cloth and anhydrous alcohol.

Remove the printed model carefully by metal scraper and put the model into the
cleaning box with anhydrous alcohol to clean excess resin.
Note: Do not damage the FEP film in the resin box or the LCD screen in the process
of removing model.
After cleaning finished, remove the alcohol in the model by non-dust cloth or air gun.
It is better to solidify the model again by using curing box.

Replace the FEP film in the resin box
1. Loose the screws at the bottom of the
resin box to remove the FEP film fixing
frame and remove the overused FEP
film.
2. Align the FEP film with the screw holes
and clamp it between the two fixing
frames; then tighten the screws.
Note: There are upper and lower sides
of the frame; please verify the correct
side through the screw holes.
Please refer to the following steps when install or replace the FEP film.
3. Re-install the film fixing frame to the bottom of the resin box and tighten the
screws to make the FEP film tense. Then pour the water or resin into the resin
box to check if there is leakage. Replace the FEP film and re-install it if there is.
Note: please take care of the FEP film in the above steps to avoid damage and dirt.
Note
During installation and removal of the build plate, please be extra careful to
prevent the LCD screen from damage by build plate falling down.
Please observe the priting process regularly to avoid printing failure, especailly
for long printing time.
Please make sure the printing environment to keep clean with less dust.
Please confirm the installation and leveling gaps for several times when do the
leveling if you are new to 3D printing.

Do not pour the residual resin back into the resin bottle with unused resin.
The waste resin can be poured into the hermetic bag to encapsulate and
exposure to the sun until solidify all resin.
If stop print within a period of time, pour the residual resin back into the resin
bottle and save it to avoid light. If there are some thin solidified pieces in the
resin, it must to be filtered before storage.
Do not clear the solidified pieces in the resin box by using sharp mental scraper
or other sharp tools to avoid the damage of FEP film.
If there is some resin dropped in the touched screen, it must to clear by
non-woven fabrics; or the resin have been solidified, please clear it by
non-woven fabrics and anhydrous alcohol.
Please keep two places showed in the picture clear. No dust and fingerprint.
