Direct the bottom locking catches toward their slots then press the latch to rotate clockwise.

Attach the top cover to the machine.

The flat cable is bending for printing smoothly purpose, please do not adjust.

Follow the illustration to bend the flat cable.

Use the cramp ring to hold the filament guide tube and flat cable. (Place the cramp ring on the flat cable marker.)

NG Follow this method

Note

To load the filament, refer to the [Software Setup] section.

Install the sensor chip. Note the orientation of the sensor chip on the spool ring.

Feed both parts of the spool ring through the center hole of the spool and assemble them together.

Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the securing screws of the filament spool ring.

Lower the filament spool holder on the back side of the printer until horizontal.

Separate the spool ring from both sides of the spool.

Place the assembled filament spool (with the spool ring) on the spool holder.

Take out the filament spool and the sensor chip.

Use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten and secure the spool ring to complete the installation.

Click File > Open. Import your favorite 3D files. Click on the object to adjust the size you need.

When you're done adjusting the print parameters you need, click PREPARE.

When the object is adjusted, you can start printing. Click File > Print > da Vinci Printer.

• When the printer starts printing, you can monitor the status by

clicking DASHBOARD.

• The recommended operating temperature is 15℃ ~ 32℃ (59 ℉

~ 90 ℉). If the room temperature is above this, please open the front cover to maintain print quality.

• After the print is finished, the object may be removed with a

scraper.

• When using different types of filament, we recommend changing

the extruder module.

Note

After preparing, please check if the object is a complete model. After the confirmation, click PRINT.

＊ For better printing results, we recommend that you calibrate before

printing.

Setting

Interface Introduction

Please follow the on-screen instructions.

Print bed calibration may be implemented before the printing process.

Move the extruder module to the lower left corner of the printing area. Please refer to the calibrate instructions provided by the software.

Z-Offset function will help you to adjust the printing distance between the print bed and extruder module.

Each adjustment has a step of 0.05 mm.

Manually adjust the movement of X/Y/Z Axis for printer maintenance.

Automatic horizontal calibration Restore Default Buzzer

Info

FW upgrade

Automatic horizontal calibration may either be ON or OFF. Default: ON.

The software would automatically implement horizontal calibration and compensation accordingly.

Printing speed will be improved if automatic horizontal calibration has been switched to OFF. However, this may affect printing quality.

Buzzer may either be ON or OFF. Default: ON.

When the buzzer is turned on, the printer will output an audible signal when a button is pressed, receiving data, print job is finished, or issue is detected.

Click Restore Default to reset to default setting.

Please upgrade the latest firmware version for the best printing quality of the printer.

Information related to printer setting.

Note

1. First click on Home Axes.

The extruder module will be returned to the initial axis position.

2. You may manually enter the adjustment value: Range: 1 to 150; step: 1 mm

• This product is factory tested and adjusted,

we suggest you note the default value for z-offset before your adjustment.

• Suggested distance between nozzle and

print bed(including bed tape) is 0.3mm.

Tool

Z-offset

Clean the filament feed module

When the printing module has been moved, we recommend that you use z-offset. This function will help you to adjust the printing distance between the print bed and the extruder module.

In order to maintain a good printing quality, it is recommended that you clean the nozzle after every 25 hours of printing. Please use the Clean Nozzle function in the software.

After long periods of use, the automatic feed system may inconsistently extrude filament, due to a buildup of residual plastic in the feed module. The printer filament feed module should be cleaned if this happens or after cleaning the nozzle.

Please switch off the power before cleaning the filament feed module.

Print bed calibration

Print bed level will affect the 3D printing quality, XYZprinting's 3D Printer has been adjusted to the best condition before leaving the factory. After long periods of use, the print bed level may change. If you have print adhesion problems, you may need to re-level the print bed.

1. Open the feed module cover.

2. Clean the gears by using a gear cleaning brush.

Cleaning Brush

Clean the nozzle

1. Switch on the power and click

DASHBOARD > Extruder > Clean Nozzle.

2. Please clamp the nozzle cleaning wire with needle-nosed pliers to insert it into the head of the nozzle carefully for cleaning.

1. Please unload the filament and clean the nozzle before using z-offset.

2. Click DASHBOARD > SetUp > Z offset to start z-offset adjustment.

3. Adjust Z up or Z down to find the proper distance.

1. Switch on the power and activate the
