Product Overview Model：A5S Dimensions：536*480*543mm Layer thickness： 0.05~0.3mm Net weight：Approx. 13.8kg Printing speed：10~150mm/s (Recommend 30~60mm/s） Shipping dimensions：640*600*255mm Nozzle Temperature：Room temperature~240℃ Shipping weight：Approx. 17kg Nozzle diameter：0.4mm Build size：305*305*320 mm Hot bed temperature：Room temperature~110℃ Build surface：Black diamond glass heated plate Supported materials：PLA/ABS/Wood, etc. LCD display: 2.8“ Touch screen Filament diameter：1.
Setup Before Assembly When dealing with the form beneath the hot bed: 1. Loosen all four bolts under the hot bed. 2. Push forward the hot bed and then take out the foam.
Setup Assembly-Printer 1. Take out all necessary parts and toolbox. 2. Guide the base through the gantry and make sure B points are inlaid in the slot of A points. * 3. Tip over the printer and place it on the table.* 4. Mount 3 M3*6 bolts on the back of gantry frame. *Followed by tightening all bolts.
Setup Before Assembly 1. Make sure H1 is as high as H2.* 2. If not, rotate the Z-axis coupler to adjust.
Operation Choose Compatible Power Supply Confirm that the input matches local voltage especially when you're traveling to a different country: Check the input voltage Press to toggle between 110V and 230V 230V indicates current input voltage is compatible 11

Operation Bed Leveling Tap“HOME”in main screen Press“ALL”to home point Note: Tightening up all four spring bolts before leveling. Note: You're highly recommended to watch video tutorials first or contact JGAURORA before leveling or if you have any problems in leveling.
Operation Bed Leveling 1. Remove the foam in top frame after 'Home point' process completes. 2. Adjust the Z-axis limit switch as follows If nozzle still touches hot bed after tightening up leveling bolts.* 2.1. Select “Move”and move Z-axis up a little bit. 2.2. Move Z-axis limit switch up by 1~2mm. * Only if necessary.
Operation Bed Leveling 1. Move the nozzle to below 4 points to level the platform. 2. Start in one corner and put the A4 paper underneath the nozzle. 3. Manually adjust the bed by tightening up or slackening relevant spring bolts until there is slight resistance on the paper from the nozzle. 4. Repeat this step in all the corners of your bed.
Operation Bed Leveling A SUCCESSFUL FIRST LAYER is VITAL to a successful print. After the printer is assembled and leveled, we suggest you WATCH CAREFULLY when you're printing the first layer. If the printer is perfectly leveled, you should get nice, flat lines of filament with no gaps between that strongly adheres to the bed. If not, you can try tightening or loosening the spring bolts below the hot bed while printing to adjust the distance and re-level the bed.
Operation Loading Filament Tap“HEAT”-“Preheat”-“Extruder 1 (E1)” Hit“ADD”to heat up Extruder 1 to 200℃ Note: Only PLA is used here as filament for demonstration.
Operation Loading Filament While preheating, load the filament into the spool holder and insert the filament into extruder. 1. Cut the tip of the filament straight across, and insert it into feeder as you press the spring clamp.
Operation Loading Filament 2. Select “Set” - “Change” , tap “IN” when temperature reaches 200℃. 3. Continue to push the filament into extruder until filament extrudes out of the nozzle.
Operation Mounting Toothed Belt Mounting toothed belt for cable protection.
Operation Ready for Printing Save the G-code file on SD card and make sure it's under the root directory. Insert the SD card and hit“PRINT”in main screen. Select the G-code file you like to print. Press“START”. Printing automatically starts when temperature raises up to preset value. Note: If first 1-2 layers fail to stick to the hot bed, STOP printing and try leveling again.
Operation Replacing Filament Reload the supplemental filament as follows if filament is about to run out during printing: Tap“OPTION”in printing interface and choose“PAUSE”, the X axis goes back to home point. Hit“MORE”- “CHANGE”, select“OUT”to eject the remaining filament. Put on a new spool of filament and hit“IN”to feed till the filament comes out of the nozzle. Tap“BACK”twice to enter printing mode, hit“RESUME”to resume printing. Note: 1.
Slicer Software Software Installation 1. Copy and paste the file from SD card to your computer. 2. Start JGcreate set-up wizard by double clicking the setup.exe icon. 3. Choose a folder path in which you save the file. 4. Click Finish to complete installation and run JGcreat.
Slicer Software Software Installation 1. Run JGcreat. 2. Select Settings-Printer-Add printer.

Maintenance The purpose of scheduled maintenance is to perform regular maintenance operations as required, in order to prevent possible failures from occurring and ensure good performance throughout the life of the 3D printer. • Take appropriate measures to minimize the risks to yourself and to others before printing. • Prior to printing, always make sure that: 1.Movement of every axis is smooth and without binding. 2.Nozzle is not clogged or damaged. 3.
Maintenance • Printer should be cleaned regularly so that there's no dust or other residues accumulated. • During printing, 1.Model should not exceed the actual build volume of the printer. 2.Printer should not be running overload. 3.If there's unusual noise or vibration, you're recommended to clean and lubricate the rails. 3.1.Wiping with a clean dry cloth. 3.2.Apply the lubricating oil on the rails. 3.3.Move the moving parts back and forth to ensure enough lubrication.
Troubleshooting S/N Symptom Diagnoses Filament is about to run out Filament breaks at the feeding port of extruder 1 30 Solutions Replace the filament Filament is damaged arising from damp Keep the filament under seal in cool and dry place Filament is clogged in tube Clean the tube Cut off the thin part 2 Filament slides from the extruder Filament is too thin 3 Abnormal temperature Temperature sensor failure Replace with a new temperature sensor 4 Model is not in the right position Loose
