    Study Notes

    Safety Instructions

    • Safety instructions are included in the document

    Technical Specification

    • Printing parameters, temperature parameters, software parameters, electrical parameters, and physical parameters are listed

    Printing Parameters

    • Printing speed is recommended to be 50-60mm/s, but not faster to ensure accuracy

    Assembly Instructions

    • Figure 1 shows the assembly steps for components
    • Figure 6 shows the installation of the top aluminum part
    • Figures 8 and 9 illustrate additional assembly steps
    • The main board wiring diagram is shown in Figure 10
    • The correct voltage mode should be selected according to local voltage ratings, with a switch on the power supply inside the base box (factory default is 220V)

    Filament Installation

    • Filament should only be inserted into the hotend after it has been preheated
    • Bent filament tips should be cut off
    • Filament should be rotated if resistance is felt during installation
    • Filament should be free of ties or tangles

    Leveling Instructions

    • Manually insert filament through the Teflon tubing into the hotend after the temperature rises
    • Filament should flow through at temperatures above 180-190°C, otherwise, it was not properly inserted
    • Customers can remove extruded filament from the nozzle tip with tweezers
    • First-layer test prints might result in three different outcomes, shown in Figures 17 and 18 (these figures are not present in the text)

    Additional Leveling Steps

    • Adjust the four nuts under the platform to ensure a suitable distance between the support plate and the heat bed
    • Loosen the Z adjustable nut by X mm if the nozzle is lower than the platform, and tighten it by Y mm if the nozzle is too high (X and Y are defined by the distance between the nozzle and the platform)
    • Multiple adjustments might be required
    • On the Home menu, click "APPCATION" -> "LEVELING" and then "home" to verify the results

    Cura Instructions

    • Cura can be downloaded and installed from the provided link (link is not present in the text)
    • Machine settings can be adjusted in the Cura software, including basic and advanced options
    • Plugins can be added, including Start/End-GCode
    • Load 3D models into Cura by selecting "File" -> "Load model file...". Supported file types are STL, OBJ, DAE, and AMF
    • Models can be manipulated in Cura by zooming, rotating, changing viewing angle, changing position, and scaling
    • There are different viewing modes in Cura, including "Layers" mode to view the toolpath and check for skipped layers or gaps
    • Save the GCode file in Cura and confirm that all slices have been included in "Layers view"
    • Use only English letters, underscores, and spaces when naming the GCode file

    Cura Settings

    • Wire diameter is 1.75mm
    • Nozzle size is 0.4mm
    • Recommended printing speed is 50-60mm/s
    • Shell print speed should be reduced to improve flatness of the model surface

    Online Printing Instructions

    • Install the CH341SER driver from the SD card (Programming software and Driver -> CH341SER)
    • Connect the 3D printer to the PC via USB cable
    • After the driver installation, a COMx should appear in the Ports section of the Device Manager
    • Despite proper installation, an incorrect COMx might still appear in the Ports section
    • Configure Cura settings for online printing
    • Print online in Cura via the USB connection by selecting "File" -> "Print..."
    • After clicking "Print...", a printing window will appear, showing the printing process and allowing temperature control
