Changing the value in the boxes will not affect anything.
f. Center X/Y/Z button: Extruder and build platform will back to the zero (0, 0, 0)
you set last time.
g. X/Y Speed and Z Speed: Set the move speed of extruder/ build platform.
● Limit Switch: In order to protect your Guider, three limit switches are equipped to
control the maximum position, and the three limit switches corresponding to X/Y/Z
axis limit switch. It has two status:
a. Not Triggered: If the extruder/build plate don’t move to its maximum, X/Y/Z axis
limit switch is not triggered, and shows “ Not Triggered ”.

filament, the extruder temperature should reach 200 ℃ , after reaching the extruder
temperature, click the [Forward]/[Reverse] rotation button to control filament load
and filament unload. Furthermore, if you want to stop filament load and unload, you
