GETTING STARTED GUIDE

1 2

1. Turn on the 3D Printer with the Power Switch located at the back of the Printer

2. On the Main Screen, select Quick Menu -> Change Filament -> Add Filament

3. Select the desired type of Filament to be added. The Extruder will automatically be raised and your

Printer will begin heating the Extruder to the correct temperature. When the temperatures are within a
few degrees of the target, you are ready to insert the lament

4. Place the included lament onto the Spool holder. Carefully insert the end of the lament into the hole

on the Extruder. The Extruder will begin to slowly pull the lament in. Once lament begins extruding,

press ‘Back’ to stop

5. Carefully remove the extruded lament from the Nozzle Head and ensure the Print Bed is clean

6. Insert the included SD card into the slot on the right side of the Printer. Select ‘Print’ from Main Screen and choose your desired

le from the list. You can now select one of our pre-loaded les below by navigating to, and selecting the le name

7. Once selected, your le will begin to load and your le status can be viewed on the touch screen. Your printer will

automatically commence heating the Extruder and Print Bed to the correct printing range before commencing the print

8. Once your Printer has completed printing the le, the nozzle and Heated Print Bed will automatically commence cooling

down. Once cooled, turn off your 3D printer and carefully remove the 3D printed object using the supplied Scraper and
gently lifting the object with your hand

NOTE: Always take care when using the Scraper. Never use excessive force or scrape towards your hand.

NOTE: Always keep the Scraper as level as possible. Scraper can damage the print mat if not used correctly

NOTE: If your le is not printing correctly, press the ‘Stop’ Button to discontinue the print. Ensure the extruder is raised prior to removing

the print off the Bed

NOTE: Immediately turn off the machine if any of the motors are jamming or forcing against the chassis

IMPORTANT NOTE: Levelling the bed is an extremely important step and if it is not done correctly every time, your

prints will fail or be of poor quality

Before you begin to level the Heated Print Bed:

Ensure the springs on all 4 corners of the Heated Print Bed are tightened all the way to the bottom by turning each
thumbwheel anti-clockwise until you can no longer turn them. This reduces the distance between the 2 plates of the print
bed to a minimum. Wipe the top of the Heated Print Bed with a clean, lint-free cloth to ensure no dust particles or other
objects are on the Heated Print Bed

Check the Z axis alignment. The X rail (holding the Extruder) should be parallel to the Heated Print Bed. If it is not, manually
rotate individual z-axis stepper motors on the bottom of both shafts to adjust. Place a Hex Wrench on the z-axis rod and
run it across the Heated Print Bed to check the z-axis is aligned horizontally

Press ‘Level Wizard’ on the touch screen panel and follow the steps as indicated

NOTE: The distance between the Heated Print Bed and nozzle should be approximately 0.1mm
