We are so excited to welcome you to the Winbo 3D printer community. 3D printers are precision
manufacturing equipment. Therefore, this User Manual is designed to start your journey with the Winbo
Dragon Style desktop 3D printers in the right direction. Your Winbo Dragon is optimized for PLA and PETG. It
is so crucial to take the time to learn about this User Manual as well as your new machine!
Due to long distance of transportation, please kindly unpack the machine box and check all the accessories
and tool sets before using your new machine, to make sure everything is OK: bolts fastened. Also please
remove those fixtures or padding used for the transportation. If there are questions or exceptions, please feel
free to contact us any time!
Before the first print, you need to know the following:
1. This is machine have been strictly tested before delivery. If it refuses to work when you receive it, please
kindly contact us as soon as possible.
2. Please save all packing materials for the machine in case of transportation and future repair (in factory). If
the machine will go through long distance transportation or be sent back to the factory for repair work,
please make sure that the machine has been well packed as the original packing. For repair issue, it is
unnecessary to send back the related accessories, such as the glass.
3. If you encounter any malfunctions for unknown reason, please turn off the machine and contact us as
soon as possible.
4. The materials for this machine are PLA and PETG.
5. Since it is a kind of plastic modeling machine, it may give out certain unpleasant smell during printing.

6. The machine’s working environment should be between 15 to 35℃.
7. Protect the machine from humidity and dust.
8. Both the build plate and the extruder are heating parts. Please keep away from these two parts during
heating or printing process. Before repair, please cool down these two parts first.
9. The glass is fragile. During maintenance or repair work, please take away the glass first.
10. A 3D printer is a machine instead of a toy. Therefore, please don’t leave the kids along with the
machine.
11. This User Manual is updated all the time. You may contact us for the latest version if we fail to notify you.
WINBO will reserve the final interpretation on the User Manual.
12. Unpack the machine. Take out the machine as well as the accessories.
13. Install CURA, the software on the computer.
14. Power on the machine and level the build plate.
15. Load the material: PLA or PETG.
16. Transfer STL file into “.gcode”by CURA.
17. Save the “.gcode”file to the SD card and insert it to the machine. Find out the “.gcode” file that you need
to print.
18. Wait for the printing.
19. Make sure the machine is well working and material is enough.

C.3 FULL SETTINGS PRINTING
Choose “Tools” under the menu”Switch to full settings” as below:
BASIC SETTINGS ARE AS BELOW:
（1）Layer height: thickness for each layer. Normally it is 0.15mm. If you need high resolution, you may
choose smaller one.
（2）Shell thickness: the amount should bea multiple of 0.4. You may need to adjust this amount to get the
best printing quality.
（3）Enable retraction: Retract the filament while it is not printing. Enable recommended, otherwise, it will
create fine lines during printing.
（4）Bottom/Top thickness: it is related to the printing speed.
（5）Fill Density: normally it is 10-30%.
（6）Print Speed: the faster the print speed, the faster the feeding speed. And the result is burrs created
during printing.
（7）Printing Temperature: 230℃for ABS, PETG and PLA.
（8）Bed Temperature: 0℃for PLA and 70℃for ABS.
（9）Support Type: to choose where to print the support.
（10）Platform adhesion type: a setting to help the printed object stick to the printer bed.
（11）Diameter: you may put the actual diameter.
（12）Flow (%):100% for PLA and 85% for ABS.

Advanced settings:
（1）Nozzle size: 0.4mm (fixed).
（2）Speed（retraction）: the speed for retraction. Retraction is pulling the filament back when moving over a
gap in the print.
（3）Distance（retraction）: if it is 0, it mean no retraction made at all.
（4）Initial layer thickness: a thicker layer gives a thicker bottom layer which is easy to stick to the platform. If
it is 0, it means the same bottom layer as the printing layer.
（5）Cut off object bottom: Cut the bottom of the model, this effectively sinks the object into the printer bed. If
your object does not have a lot of contact area with the printer bed then this feature could help you.
（6）Travel speed: the speed at which the printhead moves when it is not printing.
（7）Bottom layer speed: the speed at which the printhead moves while it is laying down the first layer. This is
done to make the print stick easier.
（8）Minimal layer time: the minimal time spent on printing a single layer. If a layer takes less time to print than
this configured time, then the layer is cooled down. This ensures that a layer is cooled down and solid
enough before the next one is put on top.
（9）Enable cooling fan: the cooling fan is usually enabled and greatly improves print quality for PLA.
Note: for the Advanced setting, normally, they are default and require little adjustment.
