1. Application Notices
1.1. About the User Guide
This User Guide contains important information on the installation, use, maintenance and other questions
frequently raised up about the 3D printer. Please read this user guide carefully before using this 3D printer. For
damages to the 3D printer and other losses caused by the violation of safety precautions and operational
processes given in this User Guide, the user should take all the responsibilities.
1.2. Safety Precautions
1) The temperature of the nozzle would be up to 200 ℃during printing and after printing; therefore, it is
prohibited to directly touch the printing nozzle during these time.
2) The temperature of the printing platform would be up to 100 ℃during the printing of ABS consumables or
after printing; therefore, it is prohibited to directly touch the printing platform during these time.
3) The 3D printer is equipped with active air filtration system which can handle most of the irritant gases exuding
from the heated filaments during printing. For continuous printing of a long time, it is better to place the printer in
a well-ventilated environment.
4) The structure of this 3D printer is very complex; please refer to this user guide for troubleshooting. If the
problem still cannot be solved, please contact our after-sale service. Our company will not offer warranty for
printers with unauthorized repair by the user.
5) There is high voltage within the 3D printer and it is prohibited for non-professionals to disassemble the printer.
All the consequences for violation of this precaution should be the responsibility of the user.
6) Please use the power cord and the USB data cable supplied by our company. For printer failure and other
consequences because of using the third-party power cable or USB data cable, the user should take all the
responsibilities.
7) When the 3D printer is connected to the power, please plug the power cord into three-hole flat socket
complying with the international standard. The power cord cannot be forced into a two-hole socket. The ground
wire must be connected to the ground and shall not be suspended. Our company will not be responsible for
mechanical failure or other accidents caused by the disconnection of the ground wire.
8) The input voltage of the 3D printer is 100-220V. Please feel free to use it in or outside the mainland China.
9) If unexpected power outages are frequent in your area, please equip the 3D printer with UPS power.
1.3. Printing Consumables
Please use the printing consumables provided by our company for this printer. Printing consumables sold at the
retail market are different in specifications and varying in quality; As a result, it is easy to block the printer extruder,
damage the extruder and motor. Our company will not offer warranty for printer failure for using third-party
printer consumables.
1.4. Environment requirements
This 3D printer uses a fully enclosed structure, which means that it has strong adaptability to the ambient
temperature. It can work properly in an environment from 5 ℃to 40 ℃. If the ambient temperature is beyond
this range, the quality of the printing products will decline.
If the filaments will not be used for a long time, please store them in a sealed package, and it is especially true for
PLA consumables which will absorb moisture in prolonged exposure to air and affect the quality of finished
printing products.

2. Introduction of the Printer
The printer applies the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) principle, slice and convert the STL three-dimensional
model, then print out the physical object layer by layer. This printer has a series of innovative design such as a
metal frame, a fully enclosed structure, an electric heating platform with the characteristic of high printing speed,
good printing quality, easy to use, easy maintenance and supporting USB cable print.

3. Install the Slicing Software of the Printer
Software
Wiibuilder
Wiibuilder is a host computer software for 3D printers, which can be sliced to
generate files for offline printing, online printing, 3D model editing, and
management of 3D printers. Wiibuilder uses a multithreading slicing engine,
including user interface and professional interface.
3.1 Install Wiibuilder software
Run the software installation package, Wiibuilder in the installation wizard window, click "next"-"next"-"Install"-
"finish". In the selection installation path window, use the default path of the program.

7
When you first time use Wiibuilder, you can set it up according to the software interface reminder.
When the software is started, parameters can be set up through the "configuration" menu in the
upper left corner of the software, choose “GUI choices" , “Easy GUI” is user interface, “Expert GUI"
is professional interface.
3.2 Wiibuilder Instructions for advanced settings
Open the Wiibuilder software, load the file that need to be printed, and click the "slicing" button in
the function bar on the top right side of the software.

8
Click the "advanced configure" , you will see the following interface:
There are nine settings in the settings box above the advanced settings menu, which are "speed",
"infill", "support", "build plate adhesion", "retraction", "material", "empty walk", "machine" and
“line width”.

9
In the settings box below the advanced settings menu, there are four settings, namely "dual
extrusion", "warping prevention", "seam" and "others".
3.2.1、"Speed" interface:
Top/bottom speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the upper and bottom surfaces of the model.
Outer shell speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the model shell.
Inner shell speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the shell in the model.
Infill speed (mm/s): the speed of infilling inside the printing model.
Support infill speed (mm/s): the printing speed of model support infilling;
Supporting interface speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the upper and lower surfaces of the
model support.
Initial layer speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the first layer of the model.
Travel speed (mm/s): the movement speed of the nozzle without entering the printing state.
The above parameter will be changed automatically when users change the speed in the basic
interface, so it is generally not necessary to change these parameter; If the speed of some parts is
specified, it can be set separately according to the demand.
3.2.2、"Infill"interface:
Infill pattern: the filling mode inside the model, the user can change the filling mode according to
the requirements of the intensity and beauty of the model to be printed, that is, to change the
filling shape inside the print model.
Click the "infill pattern" drop-down menu to select the filling mode, including lines, grid, triangle, zig

10
zag, concentric, cross and octet as follows:
The shape of each filling method is as follows:
Lines— ；Grid— ；Triangles— ；
Zig Zag— ；
Concentric— ；Cross— ；Octet— 。
Infill before walls: that is to choose whether to print the model after filling and print the outline.
Outer before inner: that is to choose whether to print the outline of the model before printing the
internal walls.
Gradual infill steps: that is, for the model that needs to gradually change the fill rate of the model,
determine how many layers change the fill rate once.
Generally, the above items do not need to be changed.
3.2.3、"Support" interface:
