Position the printer on a flat and stable horizontal surface making sure that a power socket is available. The
room temperature should be between 20°C and 30°C. Position the circular glass plate on his aluminum coun-
terpart at the center of the printing area.
The glass plate should be covered with paper tape or sprayed with hairspray before printing to allow optimal
adherence of the first print layers.
Plug the AC adapter to the back of the printer and then to the power socket.
Power on the printer with the dedicated switch on the power cable.
Wait until the boot process is finished and the screen is showing the "manual move" function.
Click Home
Change to the Extruder icon.
Enable Extr 1 that will become orange
Click on Heater ON and bring the temperature to 230°C
When the temperature close to the Temp read label is showing the same temperature set, it will be possible to
Extrude or Retract the filament.
If you click multiple times on “Retract” you can completely pull away the filament.
To choose a first test print, click on the Print tab, select a test file and then on the Print button.
At the end of the job, detach the object from the plate with a flat stick.

On the icon tab labeled “Extruder”, enable Extr 1 which will become orange, click on “Heater ON” and, with the
cursor, set the temperature on 230°C.
When the “Temp. Read” equals to the temperature set (230°C), it will be possible to retract the test filament
clicking on the “Retract” button.
If you click multiple times on Retract you can completely pull away the filament.
Pull some filament from the new spool making sure that there are no signs of a previous extrustion (i.e. parts
ruined by the feeder or partially melt)
Insert the end of the filament in the feeder pushing the spring lever. Continue the insertion until the ferrule is
reached.
On the “Extruder” menu, click on “Extrude” until you see the nozzle extruding the filament.
Plug the spool in its housing in the top part of the printer, following the natural unrolling direction of the
filament.
The print plate may not be perfectly levelled. In this case, it is possible to proceed with a manual calibration or a
display calibration.
Manual Calibration:
If you open the left door of the printer, you get access to 3 knobs located in the top part of the box. Turning the
knobs slowly, you can level up or down the print plate.
In order to calibrate, from the “MOVE” menu, move the nozzle to its lowest position. To verify that the height is
correct, a business card (as an example) should pass between the nozzle and the print plate with some friction.
This action needs to be repeated in all positions close to the towers and at the center of the plate.
Display Calibration:
Use the “Calibration” Tab and move the nozzle to the lowest position possible.
To verify that the height is correct, a business card (as an example) should pass between the nozzle and the
print plate with some friction.
