Software Operation
Basic Setting

Layer height: This is the most important setting to determent the

quality of your print, maximum value not exceed 80% of the
nozzle diameter.
Shell thickness: Refers to the total thickness of the inner and
outer walls, the outer wall is only one, the inner wall can be
more, set this value to an integer multiple of the diameter of
the nozzle.
Flow: Refer to the amount of printing material, 100% standard
dosage, the more material the model prints more plump.
top/bottom thickness: Is the thickness of the upper and lower
models, usually a multiple of layer height.
Fill density: Control how density filled the insides of your print will
be, a value around 20% is usually enough, 0% for hollow.
Print speed: Speed at which printing happens. Print speed is
affected by many factors, it is recommended to use low
speed for complex model, high speed will cause the feed
shortage, need improve nozzle temperature to compensate.
Nozzle temperature: Is the melting temperature of filament,
general use 200 ℃ for PLA and 240 ℃ for ABS.
Bed Temperature: General use 45 ℃ for PLA and 70 ℃ for ABS.
Default main head: The default is the first nozzle, can also be set
to other nozzles, this can reduce the times of changing
filament.
Support type: The touching build plate support type is shown in
figure [A], everywhere support is shown in figure [B].
Support angle: The larger the angle, the more support generate.
Fill amount: The larger the fill, the more support generate.
Platform adhesion type: The model which is not easy adhesion
on the platform please use Brim, which easy to warped or ABS filament please use Raft.

Software Operation
Advanced Setting

Solid fill top: Refers to whether to print the top surface of the
model, uncheck will print it with infill method.
Solid fill bottom: Same as above, and so on.
Spiralis print: Refers to the method of spiral printing the outer
wall of the model (single layer), and this feature is very
suitable for print glass vase model.
Enable retraction: When the nozzle is moving over a none-
printed area, withdraw a certain length length filament to
prevent overflow.
Retract speed: The speed of retraction, too fast can lead
motor out of step, too slow increase printing time.
Retract distance: The length of the filament when enable
retraction.
First layer thickness: Height of the first layer of printing,
generally greater than 0.15mm.
First layer flow: When the set of the first layer is too high, it
can be appropriate to increase the extrusion.
Cut off object bottom: This can be used for objects that do
not have a flat bottom.
Continue print: Being "power outages continued" be
substituted.
Travel speed: The speed when moving over a non-printed
area.
First layer speed: Slightly slow speed can enhance adhesion
model on the platform.
Solid layer speed: The speed is a percentage here, which reference to the global print speed, a
combination of different speeds, you can both get a good print quality and a faster print
time.

Nozzle size: Set the nozzle

size.
Diameter: Accurate
measurement of your
filament gives better
quality prints.
Minimum travel: The
minimum distance
which can trigger
filament retract.
Minimum extrusion: The
minimal amount of
extrusion that needs to
be done before
retracting.
Enable combing: Combing
is the act of avoiding
holes in the print for the
head to travel over.
Wipe tower: Is a small
tower next to your
print where the nozzle
wipes itself clean when
switching nozzles.
Dual extrusion switch amount: Amount of retraction when switching nozzle with dual-
extrusion, a value of 15mm seems to generate good results.
Cooling fan: The extra cooling fan is essential while printing small model, but when print
ABS material, the max fan speed should not more than 50%.
Skirt: The skirt is a line drawn around the model at the first layer. This helps to prime your
extruder, and to see if the model fits on your platform.
Brim: The amount of lines used for a brim, more lines means a larger brim which sticks better.

1.Tighten quick connector. Other wise,

quick connector may separate from
extruders.
2. Installing filament sleeve can
prevent filament winding.
3. Heat nozzle before loading filament.
Sharpen Filament Head and Make
Filament Straight before loading
(Especial for 1.75mm filament)

eder and gently push it into the hot en
d until you see the silk from print head
. If have difficulty in pushing, please gently shake the foreend of feeder to make sure
the material can reach into the hot end. Then tighten pressure nut. Screw 5~8 labs f
rom the begining of spring in force. Neither too loose nor too tight. If filament is 1.7
5mm in diameter, then 8-10 labs is suitable.

Using skills
Software
1.If your machines are equipped with
1.75mm parts, you have to setting
below:
Expert-open expert setting... Filament
diameter (1.75mm).
Expert-open expert setting... Minimal
extrusion before retracting (0.06mm)
Advance-Retraction-Distance to 1.5mm
2.If your machines are equipped with
different diameter nozzle (default
0.4mm). You have to setting:
Expert-open expert setting... Nozzle size (same to yours)
Basic-Quality-Extrusion width (same to yours)
3.Small objects need lower hotend temperature around 190~200°C.
Large objects better to use Support-Raft. Easy to stick when start
printing.Easy to remove when finish printing.
4.Machine-machine setting. You can customize your machine size.

Adjust Z Limit

If the nozzle can't touch the platform even loosen all the leveling nut, you
can move Z stop limit a little up, as you can see from figure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hardware Troubleshoot

1. Display "MINTEMP" ?
The environment is too low, or temperature control tube is damaged, please
keep the room temperature above 0 ℃ .
2. Display "MAXTEMP" ?
Temperature of nozzle or bed too high, or temperature control tube is
damaged, please keep their temperature in a suitable range.
3. USB connection problems ?
Please specify the correct port and baud rate (250000), or change a shorter
USB cable.
4. Nozzle heats up too slowly ?
Temperature in door is too low, or use a fan duct, or turn up output voltage
(24.5v).
5. Print head stuck ?
Clean the guide rail and add lubricating oil.
6. Print head can not move ?
Stepper motor chipset burned, or belt damaged, or belt wheel screw loose.
7. Print head hit the framework ?
Corresponding axis stop limit or circuit fault.
8. Unable to power on ?
Power switch is damaged or fuse is burned, and please check whether the
power adapter is working properly.

Printing Troubleshoot

1. How to set the temperature of the nozzle ?

Different filament temperature is different, general as follows:
PLA temperature 190 ℃ ~210 ℃
ABS temperature 230 ℃ ~250 ℃
You must leave enough time for filament heating, so the faster printing speed
need the higher temperature, 60mm/s temperature need raise about 10℃. In
the same way, larger thickness need higher temperature.
2. How to set the temperature of the hot bed ?
The main purpose of the hot bed is to prevent model wrapped, PLA need
about 45℃ and 70℃ for ABS is enough, but due to the environment and
filament, we often need to increase the temperature, the highest temperature

Frequently Asked Questions
Printing Troubleshoot

not over 120℃, and you can close the bed above 100mm.
3. The model not stick on the platform ?
Please paste masking paper or Kapton on the platform, or the nozzle is too far
away from the platform, or the bottom of the model is not flat.
4. No or less silk coming on the first layer ?
The distance between nozzle and platform is too small, or the filament has not
been sent to the nozzle.
5. Why nozzle is not spit silk ?
The filament is not pressed or too tight, or print temperature is too low, or the
filament feeder not working.
6. How to prevent model become warped ?
Increase hot bed temperature or use Kapton, or change platform adhesion
type to Raft, or cover the baffle, or reduce indoor ventilation.
7. How far from nozzle to platform appropriate ?
Distance should be 0 in theory, but there is no absolute flat platform, so the
distance should +-0.1mm. Finally, with the actual printing effect as the
standard, too close will lead to a silk blocked, too far will cause the model not
stick on the platform.
8. How to determine whether the temperature is too high ?
PLA temperature is too high will appear liquefaction, ABS will be the carbide,
that will block the nozzle.
9. What reasons will causing nozzle blocked ?
Filament are impurities or print environment dust too much, bad of thermal
conductivity between the nozzle and the heating block.
10. Model surface is loose with crack ?
The layer is too high or the printing speed too fast, nozzle temperature too
low or filament press nut too loose, or filament is wrapped.
11. How to print a small model ?
Multiple the model, and print them at a time.
12. Dual color model not aligned ?
Adjust offset of second nozzle in machine settings.
13. Dual color model color interference ?
Align two nozzle in vertical direction
14. There is too much silk drag on the model ?
Please enable filament retraction, and specified proper retract speed, and
distance, the retract distance should not less than 4mm, and the speed not
less than 10mm/s.
