HOW DOES IT WORK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WANHAO Duplicator 4/4x makes solid, three-dimensional objects out of melted
WANHAO PLA/ABS Filament. Your 3D design files are translated into instructions for
the WANHAO Duplicator 4/4X and sent to the machine via USB cable or SD Card.
Then the WANHAO Duplicator 4/4X heats the WANHAO PLA Filament and squeezes
it out through a nozzle to make a solid object layer by layer. This method is called
Fused Filament Fabrication [FFF].

When you set up your WANHAO Duplicator 4/4X Desktop 3D Printer,
remember that it was build and packaged very carefully at the
WANHAO factory. We hope you’ll take your time and be just
as careful unpacking it and getting it set up.
NOTE: Do not force or tear anything during unpacking
and set up.This may damage the WANHAO Duplicator 4/4X

INSTALLING BUILD PLATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Installing the Build Plate
Never tear off the yellow kapton
tape on the aluminium plate. You
can either put the silicon glass onto
the platform to make the build plate
perfect flat or without silicon glass
plate(for freshman recommended).
Please adjust the 4 knobs under HBP
to re-level the heating plate if you are
adding the silicon glass plate. Wanhao
masking tape is used for both ABS and
PLA printing which can make filament
stick to the platform easier.
5. Freeing the Extruder
A. Use strong scissors or a wire cutter
to cut the zip ties holding the gantry
system in place. Discard the zip ties
and the plastic pieces holding them
in place.
NOTE: Operate scissors with care.
B. A small plastic piece attached to the
X-axis belt and gantry rods prevents
the extruder form moving. Carefully
snap the piece off of the rods and
tilt it to slide if off of the belt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Installing the Filament Guide Tube
Locate the filament guide tube.
A.
Insert one end into the hole at
the top of the extruder and push
the tube in as far as it will go.
Insert the other end of the
B.
filament guide tube into the left
guide tube holder (when viewed
from the back) on the back of the
WANHAO Duplicator 4/4x. Make sure
that the end of the filament guide
tube is flush with the bottom of
the guide tube holder. The filament
guide tube should not hang down
past the bottom of the guide tube
holder.
7. Installing the Spool Holder
A. Locate the spool holder. Tilt the spool
holder and insert the round end
into the left side opening on the back
of the WANHAO Duplicator 4/4x (when
viewed from the back).
