Feed module adjustment
Before loading the filament, please set the middle value of the temperature on the operation
panel according to the recommended printing temperature range of the filament you are using,
as the temperature of the loaded filament, and then observe the feeding condition to make
adjustments.
The tightness of the gear in the feed module can be adjusted according to the material of the
filament being used.
The gear tightness of the feed module can be adjusted with the material used.
Please make sure to tighten or loosen the gear of the filament feeding module correctly. It must
be tight enough to grab the filament and push them into the extruder hole, but must not be
tightened excessively, If the gear screw of the feed module is too tightly, the gear will not be
able to push the filament correctly.
Filament Properties
1. Check the properties of the filament
Cut off 15~20cm of filament. Grasp both ends with both hands respectively and then loosen
either end horizontally and vertically. If the filament is sagging, it belongs to soft material;
otherwise, it is hard material.
Soft material (per the schematic diagram)
Hard material (per the schematic diagram)
2. Identify the touching effect of the filament surface
A. Take out the filament and then lightly press the surface of the filament with a fingernail. If a
trace remains, then it means the filament is not made of rigid-base material.
B. Take out the filament and then lightly scrape the surface of the filament with a fingernail. If a
trace or debris remains, the filament is not made of abrasion-resistant material.
Non-rigid material
Not hard wearing

15
When loading the filament, the material used for presetting the printer will be located at
the center position of the nut in the feed module. You may adjust the gear tightness
according to the clamping force indicated in the following filament characteristics.
During the printing process, you may also execute fine-tuning of the gear for the feed
module in order to achieve the desired tightness.
