1. Platform Leveling，The first time to use this printer, you need to level the platform
Please adjust the distance between the nozzle and the platform in 1,2,3,4points, the distance should be just the thickness of a sheet of paper.( Please do this leveling with the help of adults.)
a), Click the button
, Z axis will go home position. After Z-axis come to the home position, please turn off the power, after turn off the power , then you can move the X-axis and Y-axis by hand （Attention: when the hotbed is heating up, the home function will not react until the temperature of the hotbed reaches the set temperature）
b), Move the nozzle to 1 point And put a sheet of paper between the nozzle and the platform, if the distance is too far, turn the hand-twisted nut counter-clockwise to make the printing platform rise to the standard distance. If the distance between the nozzle and the platform is too close, turn the hand-twisted nut clockwise to make the printing platform fall to the standard distance, (check the distance is right or not .that is, when drawing A4 sheet, the nozzle should be attached to the A4 sheet without scratching it).
c), do the same way to adjust another 2,3,4, three points。
d), When the distance between the nozzle and the platform all is right distance in 1,2,3,4, four points, leveling is finished and succeed.
Please turn on the power again after platform leveling.

FAQ
Q1: why the printing head can not move after pressing the printing button in initial printing?
A: Please remove the clips in the front left and right corner before using the machine. The clips are or transportation protection
Q2:How to feed the filament and how to judge filament feed successfully?
A: First, straighten the filament and gently push it into the feeding hole, at the same time, use the other hand to operate the screen to “in filament” choose it and confirm. Then wait about 1 minute(the machine is warming up), release the material when feeling the filament is caught by the machine. Then wait another 10 seconds to observe if there has “silk” coming from the machine. There is about 10cm filament come out. Till this time, filament feed successfully.If you operate based on the above steps, but no silks come out from the nozzle after waiting for more than 5 minutes, please re-power the machine and try again.
Q3: How to retract filament? How to solve when the filament can not be retracted
A: slide the back gear to ‘retract’ gear, normally this way will retract successfully, if failed pls try to feed first, then retract again. Please Pay special attention that, gently pull up the material to help till the filament completely get out of the printer head.
Q4: What’s the reason that the model can not stick to the printing bed in the initial, printing or in the process of printing?
A: The gap between the bed and the nozzle is too far, you need to level the bed, use the method we mentioned above( 4.4 article)
Q5: What needs to pay attention to when adjusting the printing bed? Need to check a bed Before each print?
A: adjust the printing bed, need to use the screwdriver in the accessories box to rotate the bed screws when rotating clockwise the bed goes down when rotating counterclockwise the bed go up.
No need to always adjust the leveling with every printing.
How to leveling pls refer to above mentioned(4.4 article)
Q6:How to judge what’s the best distance between nozzle and printing bed? What is the difference when its too close and too far?
A: The standard distance between the nozzle and printing bed is the thickness of a piece of A4 paper, Insert a piece of paper between the bed and the nozzle, with normal pull and with resistance as the standard; in the condition that does not scratch bed. The closer it is, the firmer the model will be.
- The right distance between nozzle and bed: the” silks” are flat, spread on the bed very smooth, and no burrs.
- The distance is too far: the “silks” are round, spread on the bed unevenly, with gaps and tilt. Filament
comes down to the bed is by gravity force. The rounded strips’ adhesion effect is not good, they are easily moved. The printing effect is very unsatisfactory. - The distance is too close: the “silks” are irregular protrusion(with burrs)on both sides, but thin in the middle. Or there are no silks coming down. Or the bed is scratched with a deep trace.
Q7:Why do there twist lots of filament nearby the nozzle in the process of printing? Does the model become a mess of silks?
A: there are several situations:
- When it happens in the initial printing, the distance between nozzle and bed is too far, the silks can not stick to the bed, so it would become messy filament. Please twist the 4-bed screws 90 degrees anti-clockwise. If still not ok, then please twist 90 degrees anti-clockwise again till normal printing.
- The bed is with oil, please use a dry towel to tidy the bed, do not use your hand to touch the bed directly.
Q8:How can i move the printing head X, Y?
A: Please unplug the power, then use your hand to move the printing head to where you want. Please do
not try to move the head up and down, Z-axis can not be moved by hand.
Q9:How can i move the printing head up?
A: Only in the condition that the printer is power on but is not printing, press the printing bed for 3 seconds then release, it will go up 1 cm.
Q10:Does the printer need warming up before each printing?
A: There needs to warm-up when feed and retract operation, In normal printing, you only need to choose the model and wait about 1 minute, then the printer will start work.
Q11:Can the model continue printing if electricity is cut off?
A: If there is no electricity in the process of printing, the models can not continue printing.
Q12:Can pause printing in the process of printing?
A: Yes, press the printing button, it will pause. Then press again,it will continue printing.
Q13:How to stop printing?
A: Please press the printing button for 3 seconds then release, then it will stop printing(precaution:can not continue printing after a stop).
Q14:Filament will run out soon in the process of printing, What should do?
A: Please pause the printing, then slide the switch to retract gear, use your hand to pull up the filament.(precaution: please do this before all the filament goes into the feeding hole, or there will be no filament hand can pull up). Then put the new filament into the hole and use another hand to slide the switch to feed gear, wait about 10 seconds till the filament come down. Then slide switch to the middle gear and press the printing button shortly to resume printing. Please pay special attention that, after feeding 10 seconds, timely slide switch to the middle gear in avoid that the filament pimple appears in the model.
Q15:When print the first layer, there is no filament on the bed, why?
A: Please check if the distance between nozzle and bed is to close cause no space for the filament to come out.
Q16:Can the_machine print online?
A: Yes, it needs to use third-party slicing software CURA. Please refer to the above step of point 5.0 Online printing(For experts)
