3 Preparation
3.1 Hardware Installation
3.1.1 Remove the package
Unpack the inner and outer packaging and remove the cushioning foam. Use this manual and technical
drawings above to learn about accessories and set-up.
3.1.2 Print bed installation
Remove the print bed, open the printer door and fit it to the platform holder. Allow the magnet and
positioning block to cooperate and align with one another.
3.1.3 Install the Bowden Tube
Locate the transparent Bowden tube inside the printer and feed it through the central hole at the back of
the printer. Then insert it in to the extruder through the blue quick connector. The Bowden tube is easily
removed by pressing down on the quick connector and pulling the tube out.
3.1.4 Power Supply Connection
Start by connecting the adaptor to the cable plug. Once completed, insert the cable plug in to the mains
socket and connect the adaptor to the jack in the back right of the printer.
3.1.5 Turn On the Printer
Once the power supply is connected, press the switch on the right side of the printer to turn on. The LCD
screen display will indicate that the printer is turned on.
3.1.6 Filament Load
Remove the filament packaging and cut the end of the filament at an angle with pliers or scissors to create
a pointed tip. Place the filament reel on the filament holder located inside the printer on the right hand side.
Then feed the filament through the hole inside the printer and into the Bowden tube until it reaches the extruder.
Please refer to charter 5.4(11, 24, 25) for detailed operation.
Note: For better adhesion of the 3D print to the bed, we recommend a layer of masking tape or glue
stick on the print bed prior to print.
