1 Attention
1.1Safety instructions
Please switch to the correct local voltage (110V-220V) before turning on the printer. Be sure
the switch is in the correct position or it will damage the power supply unit (PSU).
Be sure all wires are correctly connected before turning on the printer.
Don’t touch the extruder head or hot bed when printing as they generate high temperature
which may cause burn.
Don’t leave the printer unattended when printing.
1.2Factory test before delivery
In order to ensure the quality, each printer is tested in the factory before delivery. As a result,
there may be residue in the extruder head or on the hot bed, but it should not affect normal use.
We provide the spare nozzle in the accessory kit just in case.

5 Assembling
5.1Assembling the main frame
The main frame consists of the following components: Gantry kit, bottom kit, LCD display kit,
PSU kit, Spool holder component, and its associated screws.
See picture (5-1)
(Picture 5-1)
The gantry and bottom frames are assembled from the bottom of the machine with 4
M5x45 screws and 4 spring washers M5. See picture (5-2).
(Picture 5-2)
Fix the PSU to the gantry frame with 2 M4x20 screws. See picture (5-3).

(Picture5-3)
Fix the LCD to the correct holes on the right side of the base with 2 M5x10 screws. See
picture (5-4).
(Picture 5-4)
Assemble filament holder and attach to the top of the frame closing to the extruder
side, with 2pcs M3x6 screws and 2 T- nuts M3, as shown picture (5-5).

5.2Wire connection
Insert the Teflon tube into the quick-insert connector. Details see picture (5-6).
(Picture 5-6)
Insert the LCD cable into LCD socket behind the LCD screen. See picture (5-7).
(Picture 5-7)
Connect two sets of power cables (note: can be connected arbitrarily without order)
See picture (5-8).
(Picture 5-8)

Shenzhen Getech Technology Co.,Ltd
Plug the extruder cables into the socket of the extruder head adapter plate, and the buckle
must be fastened. See picture (5-9)
(Picture 5-9)
Connect the motor wires of E0. See picture (5-10).
(Picture 5-10)
Then the extruder wire and the motor extruder wire are fixed into the small hole on the backside
of the lead screw with the Cable tie to avoid the wire harness touching the model during printing.
In addition, the position the harness fixed needs to reserve the length of the Z-axis at the
maximum height. See picture (5-11).

5.3Check the power input mode
The factory default voltage is 230V. You need to choose the correct voltage according to your
local standard requirement. See picture (5-15)
Note: Be sure the voltage is switched to the correct one.
(Picture 5-15)
5.4Check the filament
Put the filament on the spool holder. Please pay attention to the feeding direction of the filament.
As shown by the arrow in (5-16).

Press down the lever handle of the extruder and insert the filament into the feeding tube until it
reaches the extruder head. Since the filament is bent, so you need to straighten the front of the
filament by hand and sharpen them with diagonal pliers or scissors to make it easier to insert it
into the head. See picture (5-17).
(Picture 5-17)
When print PLA, set the target nozzle temperature about 190-210℃ . When the temp is stable,
control the extruder filament feeding on LCD screen (“Move axis” ), feed until there is molten
material flowing from the nozzle.
Observe the nozzle, if there is no filament stuck and the filament is coming out smoothly, then
