Safety Instructions

Please carefully read the safety instructions before get started.

ANYcUBIC 3D printer generates high temperature. Do not reach inside of the

printer during operation. Allow time for the printer to cool down after printing.
Contact with extruded materials may cause burns. Wait for printed objects to cool
before removing them from the build platform.

ANYcUBIC 3D printer includes moving parts that can cause injury.

Vapors or fumes may be irritating at operating temperature. Always use the

ANYcUBIC 3D printer in an open, well ventilated area.

Be cautious when using the scraper. Never direct the scraper towards your hand.

ANYcUBIC 3D printer MUST NOT be exposed to water or rain.

ANYcUBIC 3D printer is designed to be used within ambient temperature ranging

8ºC-40ºC, and humidity ranging 20%-50%. Working outside those limits may
result in low quality printing.

It is recommended to use protection glasses when cleaning/sanding the printed
models to avoid small particles contacting eyes.

In case of emergency, immediately turn off the ANYcUBIC 3D printer and contact
us or consult for professional advice.

Never leave the ANYcUBIC 3D printer unattended during operation.。

Step 1. Unpack and take out the printer and accessories.

Wear gloves because the smooth rods and lead screw may be greased in factory.

Step 2. Follow ① ② ③ in Fig. 1. Carefully lift the base to fit into the frame and fix them by

8 pieces of M5*8mm hex cap screws. The screw locations are indicated by red

squares in ③. The screws can be installed in diagonal order and can be tightened

after all screws installed in place.

Step 3. Wiring

(Figure 3)

(Figure 2)

(1) Fig.2, select the correct voltage mode according to your local voltage ratings

(110V/220V). The switch is inside the bottom left of the base and 220V is default.

Allan keys can be used to move the switch inside.

(2) There are 3 ports with different color (Red/Green/Black) at the bottom right side of

the base, and there are 3 different color cable connectors respectively. Accordingly,

insert those connectors to the ports by the same color, as shown in Fig. 3.

> Make sure the connectors are well inserted, and no pins are bent inside.

> Wrong or loose connection would lead to malfunction of the machine.
