Note: Please follow these steps and ensure that the guide tube is properly installed before
starting the "LOAD FILAMENT" function. Failure to install the guide tube may disrupt filament feed.
Reminder: If you are not too sure where the feed module tube port is,
you may open the casing of the machine to see the indication label.
Ensure that the guide tube has been tightly
inserted into the port to complete the guide tube
installation process.
Direct the guide tube from the tube movement area
out of the machine and then insert the other end of
the filament tube into the feed module tube port.
Installing the Accessories

Before installing the guide tube, turn off the printer
and move the extruder to the far left-end of the
X-axis. If not done otherwise, the print quality will
be affected.
After the extruder has been adjusted, insert the guide
tube into the extruder.

First retrieve filament spool to install the filament
spool axle ring.
Place the assembled filament spool (with the spool axle
rings) on the filament holder on the left side of the printer. Pull out a section of the filament and insert it into the
feed port.
Caution: Pay attention to the direction the
filament is being pulled out and ensure that the
filament spool axle is being rotated in the correct
manner.
Open the release arm and push the filament all the way
to the bottom so that the front end of the filament is
completely inserted into the feed module.
Take out and separate the filament spool
axle ring into its two components.
Install the sensor chip. Please pay special attention to
the position of the installation holes on the chip.
Insert the filament spool axle ring components
to either side of the filament spool, and use a
cruciform screwdriver to tighten and secure the
rings to the axle to complete the installation of
the filament spool axle rings.

CLEAN NOZZLE
Z OFFSET (adjust the printer module)
Z OFFSET settings adjustment
The user may use the Z OFFSET function to adjust the gap between the printing nozzle and the printing bed.
Caution: This printer has already been tested and adjusted to the optimal gap between the printing nozzle and printing bed before
shipping. We recommend recording the original settings before carrying out any adjustments.
UTILITIES
Over time, carbon deposits or filament dust buildup in the nozzle may decrease its performance. It is advised to clean the nozzle
after every 25 hours of printing.
Also, if the print bed calibration shows “ERR” or if there is any residue on your prints, you may try to clean the nozzle.
To clean the nozzle:
3.Hold the cleaning wire with the
pliers, and carefully pass the wire
through the nozzle openning.
1.Select "YES" to begin. 4.Select "OK" to return.2.Wait until the extruder heats up and
moves to the front, and the screen
shows “READY FOR CLEAN”
1.The recommended distance between the nozzle and print bed(with bed tape securely fastened) is 0.3mm. This should allow
two sheets of copy paper to be drawn out smoothly but six sheets of copy paper cannot be passed.
2.Increase/decrease the value based on a scale of 0.1mm.
Increasing the value will increase the gap between the print module and print bed by 0.1mm
Decreasing the value will also decrease the gap between the print module and print bed by 0.1 mm

[OK] TO SAVE
If the cleaning cycle does not unclog the extruder, try cleaning the feeding path by following the steps below.
1.Unload filament correctly (refer to “UNLOAD FILAMENT”).
2.Move the extruder and the print bed to the home position by using the HOME AXES function.
3.Activate “UNLOAD FILAMENT” again and wait until the extruder is heat up to 150℃ . (Care should be taken during the
operation to avoid potential burn injuries.)

filament guide tube (do not
disconnect the white flat cable)
7.After cleaning the feeding
path, reinstall the guide tube
to the top of the extruder
and install the extruder to the
bracket.
6.Insert the thick cleaning wire into
the feeding path all the way down and
“floss” the inside of the nozzle to pull
the residue out.
