C1 Install Power Supply
Now the next step is to give the Duplicator 5 power.
This is done by attaching the external power supply.
Detaching the power supply
1. If the power supply has to be detached, the first
step is to make sure the Duplicator 5 turned off. This
is done by pressing the power switch to 0.
First make sure the power switch is in the OFF
position, this is when the button at the back is
pressed to [0].
2. The corresponding power cable (for your country)
has to be inserted in the power brick of the power
supply.
3. The connector has to be inserted at the back of
the Duplicator 5, in the round hole next to the on/off
switch and USB slot. The at side of the power plug
has to face towards the top of the Duplicator 5.
4. Now plug the external power supply into the wall
socket.
2. Next take the power plug out of the wall
socket.
3. The plug has a sliding collar. When
removing the plug from the machine, gently
slide the collar outwards which will release
the plug and allow it to come out with ease.
CAUTION: Please make sure not to pull
the cable. Excessive force may result in
breaking this component.
4. The main cable in the power brick can be
detached by pulling it out gently.

D2. How to level the building plate
1. Navigate the Rotate button and
Push the button
2. Navigate the Rotate button to
Utility and Push the button
7. Navigate to Step2, 3 and 4
6. Insert one name card between
the nozzle and plate(0.1mm thick)
5. Push the button and adjust nut
below the plate
4. Prepare a name card, Wait until
auto-homing nished
3. Navigate to Calibrate plate and
push the button
8. Adjust the rest 2 nuts and ensure
name card can go through

D3. Loading filament material
1. Now that we have completed the initial leveling
tasks we [CONTINUE] and go to the step where
we are going to insert filament material in the
material feeder.
Navigate the control button to ---Utility---Load
2. Wait the extruder to heat up to 220'C. Warning,
never touch the nozzle while printer power on.
You are only allowed to touch the nozzle when
the printer is power off.
3. Please make sure you have a filament spool
positioned over the spool holder,
guided along the lament guide, with the lament
in counter clockwise direction.
4. This step needs some extra focus.
The wheel in the material feeder will start rotating
slowly. Take the material and put it in the hole at
the bottom of the material feeder. There is a hole
where it should go into right above the sticker.
Follow the display instruction with the supporting
images below but WAIT! before pushing and
check the next page for more instructions.
