SETUP Perform the following steps to prepare the printer for use. 1. Remove the printer from its packaging and place it on a flat, stable surface with plenty of ventilation and a nearby AC power outlet. 2. Open the Accessories box and remove the Filament Rack. Slide the tab at the flat end into the slot on the left side of the printer frame. 3. Ensure that the power switch on the rear panel is in the OFF position (O side depressed). Plug the AC Power Adapter into the power input jack on the printer.
10. While the printer is heating, open your filament. Using a pair of scissors or side cutters, diagonally snip the end of the filament to make a point, as shown in the images below. 11. Touch the Back button on the Preheat Menu to return to the Main Menu, then touch the Move button on the Main Menu to enter the Move Menu. Touch the button to raise the extruder above the build platform. 12. Place the filament reel on the filament rack on the left side of the printer. 13.
14. If the Main Menu is displayed, touch the Move button to enter the Move Menu. If already on the Move Menu, touch the button (enclosed in red in the image below) to start feeding filament into the extruder. Continue touching the button until several centimeters of filament have been extruded. 15. Using the included plastic scraper, clean the extruded filament from the nozzle and build platform. 16.
18. Compare the first layer with the images in the table below to determine whether the build platform needs to be leveled or not. If it does need adjustment, touch the Cancel button, then perform the steps in the AUTO LEVELING section. The nozzle is too far from the platform. This can result in the Wrong extruded material not sticking to the build platform. The nozzle is at the correct height Correct above the platform. The nozzle is too close to the Wrong platform.
AUTO LEVELING If the gap between the nozzle and the build platform is not correct, use the Auto Level function to adjust the gap. You will want to perform Auto Leveling after you unbox the printer or move it. 1. With the printer powered on and the Main Menu displayed, touch the Move button on the Main Menu, then touch the button to enter the Bed Level Correction Menu. 2. Touch the Auto leveling button.
LIVE LEVELING While printing the model, you can use this function to fine tune the gap between the nozzle and the bed. Touch the Tune button to enter the Bed Level Correction menu, then touch the FAR button to increase the gap between the nozzle and the bed or the CLOSE button to decrease the gap. Note that the Bed Level Correction value must be less than zero.
