Basic information
When printing process do not touch: the model, head of the
working table; failure to comply with this warning may cause burns
and / or deformation of the print,
After completion of the printing wait until the printer
components cool down,
When printing, do not place other objects in the area of
printer as this may damage the printer,

Calibration of the platform
Calibrating the working platform is recommended when
you first start the printer. Calibration of the table consists
of leveling it with respect to the print head by means of
three nuts located underneath the table’s platform. Tighte-
ning them (turning them to the right) lowers the table, while
loosening them (turning them to the left) raises the table.
NOTICE!
During the calibration process the print head heats up to 235°C. Be careful and do not touch the head components.

Calibration of the platform
From the main menu, select
Calibration
. The print head will travel to the front of the chamber and heat up to
235
o
C. Clean the nozzle with tweezers and choose
Next step
.
The print head will move to the first calibration point, located above nut nr 1. By turning the nut will cause the
printer’s backlight to change color from white to green.
NOTICE!
A green light does not always mean that the printing platform is properly calibrated. If the head moves
to the calibration point and printer light turns green, turn the nut to the right until the light turns white. Then
turn the nut to the left.
A change in the back light from white to green indicates the appropriate level.
Choose
Next step
. The head will travel to the next position.
Repeat the procedure from steps 2 and 3 for the remaining calibration points.
After calibrating the head in the last position, choose
Exit
. The head will travel to the default position. Following
this procedure, the table is correctly calibrated.

Installation / Change of filament
NOTICE!
During the process of changing the filament, the print head heats to temperature of 235°C. Be careful and do not
touch the head components.
Before the first print, a spool with filament must be installed in the printer. This option is also used to
change the material to another.

Open the side door of the fila-
ment compartment.
If you load the material for the first time, skip
this step. If you change the filament, remove
the old material from the tube through the
filament sensor inside the chamber and re-
move the spool from the roller.
Prepare the new filament spool–unravel
about 40
cm of material
and make sure that the material is
clean. Then straighten
around 5 cm
of the filament
that you want to load to allow its smooth insertion
into the head. Uneven ends must be cut using a pair
of pliers, which you can find in the toolbox.

Load the material into the fi-

the filament compartment.
Continue to load about 40
cm of it until you clearly feel
resistance.
Choose the
Insert filament
option from
the menu repeatedly while at the same
time pushing the filament at the opening
of the sensor. The extruder should draw
the material, resulting in a mild increase
in the filament’s downforce. Choose the
option Insert filament until the material
comes out of the print head. Remove ex-
cess filament with tweezers.
Place the roll of material
on the roller and close the
door of the filament com-
partment.
From the menu, select
Exit
.
Following this procedure, the
printer is ready to print using
the new filament.

Additional information
Each time you print, clean the table with the remains of the filament and other dirt. It has a big impact on the proper
bonding of layers of the material in the initial stage of printing. Use spatula and dry cloth.
Filament should be stored according to manufacturers guidelines.
It must be clean and dry place. Contact with moisture and dirt may negatively affect its properties and result in pro-
blems with the device. Malfunctions caused by the use of low-quality filament are not covered by the warranty.
The success of print largely depends on its base. It is worth watching the process of applying few initial layers. If they
are fully set on the platform, we can be confident that the further printing process will be conducted properly.
Do not heat the print head when fans are off, it may cause a damage of the printer.
