Important Note
A,when use switch power supply,If your country AC voltage is
220V,pls choose 220V;if it’s110V,pls choose 110V,there is one adjust
button on the switch power supply.
B, when heating the nozzle or printing,for the fan which cooling heat
sink,guarantee it working,if not,pls stop heating and printing.
C,the temperature is a important parameter, for PLA filament, the
working temperature is 200℃-210℃, you could adjust it,and the
temperature should not too high.too high temperature maybe lead to
Nozzle clogging.
D,Before printing, please pastehigh temperature tape on the hot bed
E,If you have installedthe touch screen ,pls choose PC or touch
screen to make a Single control
F,If you need to upload marlin ,when you upload ,pls disconnect the
touch screen with the motherboard

1 Connect and Software
1
Software Introduction
2
Connect printer to PC
Check Device Manager, will find the hardware
Need software as follows:
A:arduino,it’s the firmware working environment.
B:Marlin,it’s the firmware,it’s program to run printer working,need flash firmware to motherboard.
C:RepetierHost,it’s also PC software,can control the printer,can slice the model, when printing,it’s
good to use.
Install the driver. copy the file in the sd card to PC. open the file ” CH340G_USB toTTL
driver”–“CH340G_USB driver”-“DRVSETUP64”(64-bit system) or “SETUP”*(64-bit system).

If the PC can not find the hardware.pls check out the file “Solve streamline Version Windows 7,Can
About the more info about the Repetire, pls go the the link :
not install d river issue”.do as the file show.
The repetier is software to control the printer,so need install it first.
Install the “software,setupRepetierHost_1_0_6”, the software could be download on the
link:http://www.repetier.com/download/

6 some important command
Controling the printer by repetier,after opening repetier,choose right port and click connect. The
repetier interface is like this
open “command bar”where we can input command.Click Easy Mode open command bar,can
input command in command bar.
Then click Toggle Log,The information bar appears below the repetier interface.can read info
about printer in information bar.

(1)
g28----all axis go home
In the repetier letters are case-insensitive,G28 also can be used.but in simplify3D,only can use
(2)
m114----check the current coordinates of the nozzle
capital letters .The other command is the same
Send g28,in delta 3D printer all axis rise and hit limit switch ,G28 is same to this icon
input m114 and send ,can see the current coordinates of the nozzle in information bar.
Page 14

14
(3)
g1 x_ y_ z_----move nozzle to targeted coordinate
For example ,input g1 x20 y20 z20,the nozzle will go to coordinate x y z(20 20 20)
g1 z0—x and y keep previous coordinate,z coordinate arrive to x 0,this arrive the lowest bottom;
g1 x20—y and z keep previous coordinate,x coordinate will arrive to x 20;
g1 x20 y10—z keeps previous coordinate,x coordinate arrive to x 20;y coordinate arrive to y
10; g1 y15 z30—x keeps previous coordinate,y coordinate arrive to y15; z coordinate arrive to
y 30.
(4)
M119----check the status of the switch.
After we send this command ,we can view coordinate of nozzle now.
It’s ok to move only one or two axis
Eg:
The switch status is important directive,when meeting the motor moving problem,can check
the switch status to search problem.
When hit the switch,it shows TRIGGERED;if not touch, it shows open.
Page 15

15
When send g28,the nozzle will go home,then send m119 It show:
x_min TRIGGERED
y_min TRIGGERED
z_min TRIGGERED
Page 16
-
16
If the nozzle is at the middle air,not hit any limit switch,all four switch show open.
(5)
m302----manual control extruder motor
Important note:if use M302 code, must guarantee the nozzle temp reaach 175
℃。
If can not reach 175
℃,
the extruder can not run. !!!
It show:
x_minopen
y_minopen
z_minopen
Before manual control extruder motor ,need heat nozzle to targeted temperature and can melt
filament.this step is to prevent the extruder run at cold status, then input 302.
Page 17

When heating the nozzle ,first input m302 and send ,and then click extrude,we can see extrude
motor run ,and filament come out from nozzle(if you have installed filament)

2 preparation before leveling and automatic leveling

Before automatic leveling, the heated bed and the X axis aluminum should be
leveling
We can through①② two points, adjust the aluminum , through the A B C D four
points, adjust the hot bed
First enter the G28 command, so that the machine is in the
middle position.
Second in the command bar enter: g1 z10 (The purpose of
doing so is to prevent the scratches when the nozzle goes down
to the next coordinate)
Then enter: g1 x180 y90 ,The nozzle will go to ① coordinate

Then enter: g1 x180 y10 ,The nozzle will go to D coordinate
Repeat two to three times to ensure that the results are more
accurate.
Now the heated bed is leveling ,preparation before leveling is
complete.
G29 is autolevel command,after you load model and slice it ,the
regular succession is g28 go home,g29 autolevel ,then you can
click start print

file to g-code file.

If when print ,the distance between nozzle and bed
is big (filament can’t stick at bed),you can reduce
the offset ,E.g:change -1.4 to -1.5,-1.8,-2.0.
If when print ,the distance between nozzle and bed
is too small(nozzle hit bed),you can add the offset
in marlin ,eg:change -1.4 to -1.2,-1.0,-0.8.

3 Marlin
Sometimes we will encounter some problems that
need to be changed and uploaded marlin
1 Arduino
The marlin is the printer program which run the printer,it’s also named firmware.
Arduino is an working environment for firmware, only installing the arduino on PC,then can
open marlin and flash program to board, if you are not familiar with the software,pls don’t change
any parameters,thank you.
2 Marlin

1 Open marlin
open marlin, if it’s compressed file,must unzip it.
2 Upload Firmware
find the icon green color,this format is “ino”, click and open it in arduino.
2.settings
Firmware could only be upload succeed when the settings like the above Go to
tools > board >arduino mega 2560
Go to tools > port, select the COM port Go to tools
> programmers > USBtinyISP
Click the 上传(Upload) button to upload the Marlin Firmware Sketch to MKS Controller Board.
Once upload successful, message “Done”.

Heated bed
if use PLA filament,no need open heated bed.
If use ABS filament,need open heated bed, set the heated bed temp 85-100℃Must
6
Problem and advice
connect heat bed line to board heated bed sensor to board.
If use repetier to control the printer, can see heated bed choose,can set heated bed temp.
1. The computer can not install arduino and other software
this situation often occur in the windows10, you can download Arduino1.8.1 online, pay attention to
the correct version.
2. The computer cann’t installed the drive
first enter the device manager to find the port item, double-click the unknown device port (unplug
the motherboard, the port disappears, connect the motherboard, the port appears, the port is the
printer port), click the 'update driver' button, then click find the driver software the computer ', and
then in the' Browse 'to find your driver address, the next step, that’s ok.
If you connect the motherboard and computer, in the device manager port, nothing did appear,
there may be a problem with the motherboard, please contact us
3.marlin upload failed
Marlin toolbar configuration may be wrong, the board (2560), processor (2560), port (2560),
Page 49

55
programmer (USBtinyISP) need to select the right
Repetier connection is not disconnected
Arduino don’t be installed on right location ,don’t be installed in C drive
arduino version wrong, the correct version is 1.6.1
4.repetier interface nozzle temperature is 0, the display shows "MINTEMP"
Nozzle temperature sensor / white line in the motherboard slot inside the loose, another direction
to tighten
may be the nozzle temperature line / white line is broken, measured with a multimeter,the
resistance is 100K, you can also insert the hot bed temperature Sensor into the nozzle temperature
sensor slot to check.
5 if the motor steering is wrong(For example ,control it rises, it drops)
This is the standard motor steering setting, here you can change the
motor steering according to your need
7 if your auto-level senor is bad or not
working ,you can use the manual leveling
Page 50
-
56
First you should installed the Z limit switch instead of the
Auto-level senor(refer to the the Assembly instructions from
page 89 to page91)
1,Calibration
Select 4 points, the 4 points coordinate is (30 30) , (180 30),(180 180),(30 180). Ensure the
nozzle to bed distance,this distance could go through one paper.as the pic show.
