Put the filament on the spool holder. Delight pay attention to the feeding management of the filament. As shown by the arrow in (v-16).

Press down the lever handle of the extruder and insert the filament into the feeding tube until it reaches the extruder head. Since the filament is aptitude, so y'all need to straighten the front end of the filament by hand and acuminate them with diagonal pliers or pair of scissors to make it easier to insert it into the head. Run into moving-picture show (v-17).

(Pic 5-17)

When print PLA, set the target nozzle temperature about 190-210℃. When the temp is stable, command the extruder filament feeding on LCD screen ("Move centrality"), feed until in that location is molten material flowing from the nozzle.
Find the nozzle, if there is no filament stuck and the filament is coming out smoothly, then stop filament feeding, clear the nozzle with tweezers. See picture (five-eighteen).

(Movie 5-18)

Outset print

Level the impress bed

The offset layer is cardinal to a successfully printed model. The factory default setting is a picayune loftier in order to avert scratching the hotbed with the nozzle, so users need to adjust the distance between nozzle and hotbed again. After the first-time bed leveling, users don't need to level the bed over again.

i) Rough leveling
Home the printer first ("Prepare"> "Auto home"), then information technology shows the option "Level corners" on the LCD screen. Put a piece of A4 newspaper on the platform, click  "Adjacent corner", the extruder caput moves counterclockwise from the lesser left corner to the 4 corners of the platform. See picture (vi-ane).

(Picture half-dozen-1)

When the extruder head moves to the left bottom, adjust the corresponding knob until the altitude between the nozzle and bed is about the thickness of a slice of paper (most 0.i-0.2mm). Slide the newspaper dorsum and forth to meet if you lot feel a slight resistance. If yeah, it means the leveling of this corner is finished and you can continue to level the rest corners with the same method. Run across picture (6-two).

(Picture vi-ii)

two) Accurate leveling
If you level the bed with A4 paper, the first layer may be besides high, too depression, or moderate. a. Also high: the altitude between the nozzle and bed is too far, which may cause the filament to non stick or not stick well. Run into picture (6-iii).

b. Too low: the altitude between the nozzle and the bed is likewise close, which prevents the filament from coming out and causes the extruder gear to click, and even worse, scratch the nozzle on the bed. Run into picture (6-4).

c. Moderate: Extrude the filament properly and evenly stick on the bed. Run into picture (6-5).

In the instance of also low and as well high, suit the knobs under the platform till they are moderate. It may have some trial and mistake to achieve the best result. An example of good commencement layer, see motion-picture show (6-6).

(Picture 6-6)

Note:
If plow the knobs clockwise, the platform will rise, and vice versa.
Avoid the nozzle touching the bed; use a piece of A4 paper. Or it volition scratch the bed.
