NOTES
1 Do not use the printer in any way other than described herein in order to avoid personal injury or property damage;2 Do not place the printer near any heat source or ﬂammable or explosive objects. We suggest placing it in a well-ventilated, cool and dustless environment;
3 Do not expose the printer to a violent vibration or any other unstable environment, as this may cause poor print quality;
4 Please use recommended ﬁlaments to avoid clogging of the extrusion head and causing damage to the machine;
5 Do not use the power cable of other products during installation. Always use a grounded three-prong power outlet, which accompanies the printer;6 Do not touch the nozzle and the heated bed during operation to avoid burns or personal injury;
7 Do not wear gloves or wraps while operating the machine to prevent entrapment of movable parts that could cause crushing and cutting injuries to bodily parts;
8 Use the provided tools to clean the ﬁlament from the extruder in time taking advantage of the residual temperature after printing. Do not touch the extruder
directly when cleaning, otherwise it may cause burns;
9 Clean the printer frequently. Clean the printer body with a dry cloth regularly after powering oﬀ the printer, wipe away dust, bonded print ﬁlament and foreign
objects on the guide rails;
10 Children under 10 years old should not use the printer without supervision, otherwise it may cause personal injury;
11 Users should comply with the laws and regulations of the corresponding countries and regions where the equipment is located (used), abide by professional

6.1 Maintenance Items
Maintenance instructions
Clean the debris inside the machine to ensure that its operation is not aﬀected.

Before each print

Solution to extruder blockage: After preheating and removing the ﬁlaments,
raise the temperature of the extruder and poke into the extruder from top
to bottom using an extruder cleaner until the blocked ﬁlaments are poked out.

After extruder blockage

Replace the nozzle.

Cumulative print time per 500 hours

Check if the wire output is normal, if not, please check if the extruder is blocked.

After each change of ﬁlaments

Check the nozzle for ﬁlament residue, if so, heat the nozzle and remove it with a tool.

Before each print

Printing platform

Check the surface of the platform for residual ﬁlaments and glue, if so,clean the surface of the platform.

Before each print

Motion mechanism

XYZ optic axis lubrication.

Cumulative print time per 500 hours

Machine cleanup

Hot end

Axis movement.
Equipment self-test

Cumulative print time per 300 hours

Optimization of vibration veins.
Auto Leveling.
Replacement of ﬁlaments of the same kind: follow the normal Retreat - Feed process.

Filament replacement

Replacement of diﬀerent ﬁlaments: Preheat the nozzle to reach the target temperatureof the current ﬁlament; then retreat it, replace with the target ﬁlament, and preheat thenozzle to the higher ﬁlament extrude temperature of the two ﬁlaments; feed for 30s
until the ﬁlament has been completely extruded, and ﬁnally set the nozzle temperature
to the temperature of current ﬁlament nozzle.

6. Tips and Routine Maintenance
6.3 Precautions for printing
6.3.2 Use and maintenance of ﬂexible platform① Together with the ﬂexible platform after the printed
model has been cooled down Remove from the device
and partially bend the platform slightly to separate themodel from the platform.(No excessive bending of theplatform to prevent it from being deformed and unusable)② The residue of the platform ﬁlaments canbe scraped oﬀ with a blade. Be cautious ofsafety when using.

③ When the ﬁrst layer of the model is notglued, it is recommended to apply glue stickevenly on the surface of the platform.

6.3.3 Cleaning of debris inside the chassis

Reminder: Since the printing platform is quick-wear, it is recommended to replace theprinting platform regularly to ensure that the ﬁrst layer of the model is adhered.
