1.Open box and remove bag containing the lid,
Quick start guide, After-sales service card,
levelling card, and two build taps.

2.Take the power cable and two foam sheets
out from the top.

3.Firmly grasp the two sides handles of Inventor.
Lift it out from the carton and place it on a
stable surface. Then you will see the Toolbox
and USB cable in the shipping box.

4.Remove the packing bag.(Tip:Save your
packaging for future transportation and
storage.)

5.Take foam out of the Inventor.

6.Open the box inside the printer. It should
contain: dual extruder, two side panels,
and extruder's accessory kit. Remove dual
extruder and place it on a clean surface.
Note: the extruder cable is short; please do
not leave the extruder hanging by the cable.

04

8.Remove the bubble wrap from extruder and
slide the x-axis rod to the middle of the printer.

10.Elevate the build plate to its limit.
Notes: Do not let build plate touch extruder.

11.Remove both filament rolls and foam pieces
from printer. Note: Take both spool holders
out of the foam.

9.Place the dual extruder on the extruder seat
as show.

7.Remove the foam from the back of the logo
board.

12.Lower the build plate fully. Congratulations!
You've unpacked your printer.
(Tip: Save packaging for future transportation
and storage)

How to level the build plate

1. Tighten the three leveling knobs under the build platform until you cannot tighten them any more.

2. Tap [Tools], [Leveling] to start leveling.

3. The build plate and nozzle will start to move. Wait for them to stop, then adjust the corresponding knob
under the right nozzle first using the leveling card.

4. The leveling card should slide between the nozzle and build plate with some friction/resistance.
If the card slides through easily, the nozzle and build plate are too far apart. Rotate the knob clockwise to
decrease the distance between them. If the card cannot slide through, rotate the knob anticlockwise.

5. After leveling the first point, tap [OK] to continue to the next point.

6. Adjust all three knobs as outlined above. Then, check that the nozzle is also correctly placed when it is
at the center of the build plate, using the leveling card. That's it!

The distance should be that
between the right nozzle and
build plate.

Place Filament and Loading Filament

1. Remove PLA filament from packaging.

2. Place filament in spool slots located on both sides of the printer.

3. As shown below, insert spool holder into the center hole of the filament. Rotate 90 degrees to
lock. To remove spool holder, rotate in the opposite direction.

Ensure filament is placed in spool slots with correct orientation.

Fixed the filament by left spool holder Fixed the filament by right spool holder

1. Tap the right icon labeled [Tools] button, then tap [Filament].

2. Select [Load Left].

3. Wait for the extruder to reach operating temperature. An alert will indicate this.

4. Secure the filament with a flat cross-section and load it by inserting the filament into the
extruder at an upright angle, meanwhile press down the spring presser.

5. Filament will flow out of the nozzle. Continue loading until the filament is extruded in a
straight line.

1. After filament placement, thread the filament
through guide tube.

2. Insert the filament into the left extruder at a
perpendicular angle while pressing down the
spring presser. Ensure the end of the filament
has a flat surface before loading it.
