2.Installing the Filament spool ring
21 3 4 5 6
(please refer to this step if the axle ring is not installed on the spool)
Use a phillips screwdriver to loosen the
securing screws of the
filament spool ring.
Separate the spool ring
from both sides of the
spool.
Retrieve the filament
spool and chip.
3.Installing the filament
Remove the side cover by pressing down
1 3
firmly at the center on the left side of the
cover and pushing aside the cover. (pay
attention to where you apply your force to
ensure proper dismantling) Keep the side
cover securely for future use.
Lower the filament spool
2
holder on the left side of
the printer until horizontal.
Install the sensor chip.
Note the orientation of
the sensor chip on the
spool ring.
Place the assembled
filament spool (with
the spool ring) on
the spool holder.
Feed both parts of the
spool ring through the
center hole of the
spool and assemble
them together.
Take the tip of the
4 5
filament and
insert it into the
feeding hole.
Use a phillips screwdriver to tighten and
secure the spool ring
to complete the
installation.
Press 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 extruder
module.
Handy tips
• The filament will load better when the tip of the filament is cut at a 45° angle.
• When the printer is not in use, raise the filament spool holder and close the side cover.

XYZware operation
After completing the hardware installation, download XYZware from the XYZprinting official website and install it
on your computer.
Before launching XYZware, connect the printer to your computer using the supplied USB cable and turn it on. For
an optimal user experience, we recommend following the instructions below:
Print
Handy tips
Registration via XYZware before your
first print is strongly recommended.
When registered with XYZprinting, you
will receive latest technical supports
and updates. To register, simply click
"Register Now".
Before you start printing, please attach
the bed tape to the print bed. The print
bed tape is reusable, and can be
replaced worn.
If the room you are printing in is below
25 ℃/ 77 ℉, for greater adhesion,
apply glue to the bed tape.
After printing has started, check if the
first layer is stuck to the print bed.
Good base layer is one of the keys to
successful printing.

●Pre-setup
1. The network printing function is only available when the printer and the
computer are both connected to the same wireless network.
2. Before connecting the printer, your wireless network settings need to be
adjusted. For more information, refer to the instruction manual of your
wireless router.
3. The wireless network's channel width needs to be set to 20 MHz for the
printer to connect to it wirelessly. Refer to the vendor instruction manual for
more information.
4. The Mini supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security encryption standards.
Wireless pass word information will be requested when setting up the
printer connection.
• WEP • WPA • WPA2

When using the software to operate the printer, one must first place filament spool ring
pre-loaded with the filament at the axis to activate XYZware.
Click on the Printer Monitoring function at the lower right corner to activate the operating
function.
Then select the Printer Monitoring function icon to activate the USB connection (this step
would be similar to Wi-Fi setup steps 1 to 5).
The USB cable can be removed once the printing file
has been transferred. To monitor printing status,
please re-connect the printer and computer with the
USB cable and re-activate the Printer Monitoring
(function).
If information shown

Manually adjust the movement of X/Y/Z Axis for printer maintenance.
First click on [Home Axes]. The printing device will be returned
to the initial axis position at the lower left corner of the printing
area. Then adjust the positions of the printing module (X-AXIS),
printing platform (Y-AXIS), and printing axes (Z-AXIS).
Select “X-AXIS” to move extruder rightwards and leftwards.
Select “Y-AXIS” to move print bed forwards and backwards.
Select “Z-AXIS” to move the print axis (Z-AXIS) upwards and

2. Calibrate
Platform calibration may be implemented before
the printing process.
The printing device may move to the lower left
corner of the printing area. Please refer to the
platform calibration instructions provided in the
software.
Before calibration, press Button A of the printing
module. After calibration, press Button B on the
printing module in order to retract the sensor
device.
If calibration was faild, please make sure that
Button A (detector) has been pressed before
restarting the calibration process.

3. Z-Offset
Upwards and downwards to adjust the printing distance between the
bed and printing module.
Each adjust has a step of 0.05 mm.
If the first layer distance is too high (too large) or too low (too close), we
recommend you using z-offset to adjust the printing distance.

●Automatic horizontal calibration
Automatic horizontal calibration may either be ON or OFF. Default: ON.
The software would automatically implement horizontal calibration and
compensation accordingly.
Printing speed may be improved if automatic horizontal calibration has
been switched OFF. However, this may affect printing quality.
●Buzzer
Buzzer is turned on by default, you can select "OFF" to change the
setting.
When the buzzer is turned on, the printer will output an audible signal
when a button is pressed, receiving data, print job is finished, or issue is
detected.

miliar situations in order to avoid
danger.
Filament should be unloaded from the extruder before cleaning the feeding path.
Care should be taken during the operation to avoid potential burn injuries.
Taken off the
printing object
Keep your hands
away from the
printing and
operations area
when the machine
is printing.
After print is finished, the printing object may be taken off with Scraper.
Once the PET protective casing has been assembled, apply double sided tape at the
specified locations. Check that the adhesion areas on the printer are clean. Peel away
the carrier film and apply slight pressure to attach the PET casing to the front of the
printer.
Instructions for re-using the double-sided tape of the PET shielding:
Pieces of tape can be re-used if they were kept clean and properly maintained. However,
multiple use or dirt on the tape may reduce the strength of adhesion. Please gently
remove the PET shielding from the printer and then slowly peel away the double-sided
tape from the PET shielding. Do not pull at the tape directly. Stickiness may be restored
by cleaning it with soap water and then drying it.
