1.Place both the conveyor belt platform and the XY-axis frame sideways, and secure

them with two M5*14 cup head hexagon socket screws.

2.Then use M5*20 round head socket cap screws to install the fixed plate on one side

onto the aluminum profile.

3.After standing the machine upright, install the fixed plate on the other side.

4.After installation, measure the 45° angle. If the error is large, you need to loosen the

screws and recalibrate. Tighten the screws again after proper calibration.

5.Check if the XY-axis movement is smooth.

Check if the XY-axis movement is smooth.To enhance the stable operation of printers, it is recommended to regularly check the smoothness of XY-axis movement and apply an appropriate amount of lubricant, as well as promptly clean dust and impurities from the tracks, ensuring continued efficient and precise performance. Smooth movement not only significantly reduces the occurrence of layer shift and mis-touching but also effectively protects the steel belt from wear, thereby extending the service life of both the steel belt and the print head. For devices that are used frequently, regular lubrication is an indispensable maintenance measure.

Securing the Cable with Zip Ties

Securely tie the print head cable and Teflon tubing with ties and fasten them to the

bracket. Otherwise, there's a risk of them getting tangled with the motor, leading to layer

shifting during printing, and in severe cases, potentially damaging the printer.

After completing the assembly, Power on and wait for main interface.The process consists of five steps:

1.Autoleveling.

2.Preheat and load filament.

3.Connect to WiFi.

4.Install the software and upload the file.

5.Start printing and demoulding.

12

Autoleveling is a must! Skipping this step can damage your printer's steel belt. So, right

after you turn on your printer, make sure to start the autoleveling.

！

1.To start the auto-leveling process,  tap ①the 'Auto-Leveling' button on the screen.

2.The print head is now calibrating. It will touch six points on the heated bed for leveling.

Please wait patiently while the calibration finishes.

Usage Steps

1

Auto leveling

①

You don't need to perform auto leveling every time you turn on the printer. It's only

necessary when the model fails to adhere properly, or disassembled the printer.

13

3.Leveling is complete, Tap② Accept to finalize auto-leveling and save your settings.

！

5.If the difference in data between the leftmost and rightmost points is within ±0.2, then it

can be considered normal，and this step is generally verified during the printer's

manufacturing. If it is not within the normal range, you need to adjust the tightness of the motor belt according to the mesh bed data, because uneven tightness of the belt may lead to deviation in the left and right heights of the mesh bed.

②

③

④

4.Tap ③configuration,④Bed Mesh to check the bed data.

14

If the data difference between the leftmost and rightmost points exceeds ±0.2, loosen the two screws inside ① and adjust the tightness of the belt by turning the screw inside ②.

①

②

Normally, the belt tension has been adjusted before shipment, and you should not need to make any adjustments. However, if the belt becomes loose due to transportation, you may need to adjust it based on the bed mesh data. If you need assistance, please contact our technical professionals.

！

The purpose of this step is to load the filament, ensuring it is properly loaded in the

printer. A test extrusion will then be performed to check if the filament passes smoothly

through the nozzle, minimizing the risk of printing faults.

15

！

1.First,  preheating. ① Tap on the temperature number, ② enter the heating temperature based on the filament, ③ tap "√" to initiate heating.

2.To insert the filament, ④ insert the filament into the side-mounted filament sensor, pushing it all the way in until you feel resistance.

To successfully complete the loading, the end of the filament should be trimmed to the shape as shown in the figure.

3.After inserting it to the end, click on "extruder". The extruder will then pull the filament in (see step 4). If it fails to extrude smoothly, please open the lever on the side of the print head, manually insert the filament into the nozzle position, and try to extrude again.

4.Tap on "Extrude" ⑤ on the main screen, then tap "Extrude" ⑥  to see if the nozzle is extruding properly. If it extrudes normally, that means the filament installation is complete.

！

Please wait until the temperature reaches the target temperature. Once the filament is successfully extruded, make sure to reinsert the teflon tube, as failure to do so will affect normal printing.

Start Printing&Demoulding

1.After completing the above steps, you are ready to embark on your printing journey.

①

②

It's important not to use excessive force when removing the model as it may cause unnecessary damage to the steel belt.

！

2.After printing, wait for the heated bed to cool down before demoulding.It is recommended to use the Z-axis to move forward and push the model off the metal belt. Perform a homing, then follow these steps:

The filament motion sensor is designed to detect conditions such as filament exhaustion

or clogging, enabling the printer to pause operation when necessary to prevent print

failures.After pausing, please follow these steps.

Function Descriptions

1.Select Temperature Settings: Tap① the "temperature" .

2.To set the heating temperature, be sure to first ② select the extruder, and then ③ enter the corresponding heating temperature for preheating.

5.Insert the new filament, pushing it all the way to the end. Then, tap on "Extrude" ⑤ to attempt extruding the new filament to check if it flows smoothly.

6. ⑥ Return, and then ⑦ resume the printing process.

If the print job paused due to a clog rather than a depleted filament, please follow these steps:

Heat the nozzle by waiting for the extruder to reach the target temperature, as per the previous steps.

Once heating is complete, attempt to extrude the filament to check if it flows smoothly.

If the filament does not extrude smoothly, increase the extruder temperature by 10 degrees and retry extrusion.

If the filament still does not extrude smoothly after increasing the temperature, it may be necessary to replace the nozzle or check if the print head is clogged.

To remove the filament, heat it up and pull it out. Then, unscrew the nozzle carefully and use tweezers to handle the nozzle, taking care to avoid burns.
