15. DRIVE INSTALLATION
Notes: Another drive need to be installed after this, find in the same folder.

16. DRIVE INSTALLATION
After installation, right click “My computer”—”Management”—”Device manager”—”Port”

17. PLUG-IN INSTALLATION
Two plug-in need to be installed if you use XP system. After installation, restart your PC
Download in Baidu Cloud
Install these two plug-in

18. PRINTER SETTING
Click here

19. PRINTER SETTING
Printer port setting

20. PRINTER SETTING Temperature setting
Set temperature according to material ABS or PLA
Reference temp：
ABS extruder: 200 hot bed: 80~100
PLA extruder: 160 hot bed: 55~60

21. PRINTER SETTING Printing area setting
According to the printer which you buy to choose the printing size Z605:200*200*200mm

22. CONNECT TO PC
First, make sure that the machine is correctly assembled, the extruder fan will work after connecting to the electric socket,the red light up.Second, connect printer to computer. Normally, the fan will stop rotating , but will restart about 6 seconds later.
Waiting for the transferring to be completed
It means connection is successful

23. CONNECTION
Try to move XYZ axis through software, to check the movement direction is correct or not.

24. Calibration and commissioning
Manual move X,Y,Z axis, make sure they can move smoothly and don’t make noise.
2. Adjust the screw at each corner to make hot bed flat
3. Set the distance between extruder and hot bed the same as the thickness of A4 paper
4. You can print after debugging has completed

25. PRINTING
Load files: Choose “file”—”load printing file (must be STL format)”—”convert STL to G code via Slic3r”

26. PRINTING
Parameter setting on SLIC3R: Choose "code generator"- "parameter configuration"

27. PRINTING
Layer height setting：0.1 to 0.4, the smaller the layer height is,the more precise will be, but takes more time

28. PRINTING
Fill density and fill pattern setting

29. PRINTING
“√” here to Generate support material

30. PRINTING Filament diameter, extruder/hot bed temperature setting
Reference value：
PLA,extruder: ，hot bed:50-100
ABS,extruder: , hot bed:70-110

31. PRINTING
Size and coordinates setting

32. PRINTING
Nozzle diameter setting: standard is 0.4mm is available also.
Nozzle diameter standard specification:0.4mm,but we customise at 0.3mm

33. PRINTING
Notes: Remember to SAVE each step after setting.

34. GENERATE G CODE 1.Click“activate”button, choose “PLA3MM” file
2.Click “start to generate Slic3r”, following dialog box will appear
3.This dialog box will disappear after done

35. GENERATE G CODE
You can find the G-code on “code editor”

36. HEAT EXTRUDER and HOT BED
Pre-heat hot bed before generae G code, then heat extruder

37. RUN
Click “run” when it reaches to specified temp, or wait for generation G-code complete, printer will auto start when it reaches to specified temp

38. START TO PRINT
You can enjoy your first 3D printing trip, when XYZ axis back to the start
NOTICES: Click on run, the machine will heat hot bed to required temp,
Then extruder will be heated, it may take few minutes or longer, please be patient
(when hot bed is heated, the red light is bright)

39. NOTICES
1. PC do not set into energy saving mode, because it may cause failure
2. Choose ”Device manager”——“USB controller”——”USB root hub”——right click——click “attributes”——remove the “√ ”
Remove “V”

40. MAINTENANCE
3D printer does not need special maintenance. It can print for long work hours. Mechanical parts that undergo frequent use will have fair wear and tear.
1.Maintain XYZ bar: If there is noise and unusual shaking during printing, you need to clear the slide bar. The diameter of the slide bar is 8mm, make sure it slides smoothly without any shaking. Lubricating oil can help to clear the slide bar to reduce friction and minimize the wear and between annular tubes and slide bar.
2.Plastic consumables dissolve under high temperatures. And easily plasticize again when cooled. You can use iron wire to drain the nozzle if there is any blockage. We suggest your clear all surplus material after finishing printing work

41. MAINTENANCE
The tension of the strap: strap should fit with the other parts of the machine, to reduce the stress on the motor shaft and pulley. To check if the strap is too tight, turn the pulley and listen for unusually loud sounds, if there are, loosen the strap.
To check if the strap is too loose, rotate the motor shaft, it is the correct tension if the hot bed is symmetrical when moving back and forth. It is too loose if the platform takes longer to move back. Another test method is to download cylindrical date. If one side is flat, the corresponding strap is too loose.
