1. ATTENTIONS
Use the printer, please use the printing consumable items provided by the
company. The printing consumable sold in the retail market is of different
specifications and quality levels, it is very easy to block the printer nozzle and
damage the nozzle and electrical machine. For the printer faults caused by use the
consumables of third party, our company would not guarantee to repair.
The 3D printer is applied with fully enclosed structure, strongly adaptive to the
environment temperature, and can work normally in the 5℃ to 40℃ environment.
If the environment temperature exceeds this range, the printing quality of finished
product will be dropped accordingly.
After the printing consumables opened with its package, if they are not used for a
long time, please seal it by sealed package. Especially to the PLA consumables, it
would absorb the moisture in the air to affect the quality of printing finished
products after long time exposure to air.

7.Regular Repair and Maintenance
3D Printer needs to perform the regular maintenance, as well as some daily
maintenance, in order to ensure the printer can maintain the high performance to
run stably.
7.1. Printer Regular Maintenance Guide
The regular maintenance mainly contains: clean printer nozzle, replace the printer
platform sticker (1), printer platform regular check and leveling, replace air
filtration core, optical shaft and screw rod maintenance and others.
7.1.1. Cleaning Printing Nozzle
In the process of 3D printing, the part of consumable debris and dust particles is
likely to accumulate around the printing nozzle. As time goes on, these
accumulative materials can lead to that printing precision becomes poor or nozzle
is block and others. Therefore, before printing for each time, it needs to observe
whether the nozzle is blocked and perform the cleaning.
Maintenance method: The printing nozzle is usually cleaned by tweezers (10), and
the impurities around nozzle are wiped out by the cleaning cloth.
Tear out tape sticker (1) on the printing platform from the bottom of left side, strip
slowly, don't leave any residuals, and then paste the new stickers (1).
Note that it doesn't leave gap between the stickers (1).
7.1.3. Replacing Air Filtration Core Components
The air filtration core components are suggested to be replaced after use 500
hours, otherwise it would lead to dust filtration effect greatly reduced.
Maintenance Method:
Firstly, use strength to take out the fan cover board entirety at the right side of
printer, and then find out one filtration core component cover board from the list
box in accompany with printer and install it directly.
Among them, the first and the third layer from the bottom (the yellow part ) will be
printed by the left Nozzle; the second and the fourth layer (the red part) will be printed
by the right Nozzle.
If there are separated parts printed by the left and right Nozzles in the printed block,
which means that there is a deviation on the red and yellow part in the X, Y direction (
as shown below), then you need to conduct Nozzle offset adjustment .
43 44 GB
Connect the printer to the ReplicatorG printing software, select "Machine " → "
Onboard Preferences" on the menu bar, and enter the interface for printer parameter
setting. Select "Homing / VREFs" option and adjust X toolhead offset and Y toolhead
offset value.
Then, take out the whole motor and feed gear from right back side
The filament debris on the motor gear is performed with cleaning by tweezers (8) ,
and installed is performed according reverse procedures after cleaning.
Note: Finally plug in the motor connection line.
7.2.2. Replacing Printing Nozzle
When the operation is inappropriate or the filament materials is not selected
properly, they would cause nozzle blockage. In the necessary cases, it needs to
perform the nozzle replacement.
Dis-assembly Procedure:
Firstly, take out the motor gear components, the specific procedure can be referred
to chapter 7.2.1 of “Cleaning Nozzle and Motor Gear”.
Use Hex wrench 2mm (11) to tighten the screw fixed nozzle throat.
Take out the whole component of nozzle from the bottom and pull out the
connecting line plug of nozzle.
The throat pipe part of new nozzle is inserted into the aluminum block from the
bottom, the top of throat pipe closely contacts with the bottom of motor gear (note:
Motor position can’t be moved); and then Use Hex wrench 2mm (11) to screw down
the screw of fixed throat pipe.
For next, well install the fan, cooling fin and motor, Use Hex wrench 2.5mm (12) to
screw down the two hexagon socket head cap screw on the top, and finally plug in
the motor cable (5)
The whole process is over. After the nozzle is replaced, it can start printing model
only after the printer platform is re-calibrated.
7.2.3. Appliance’s end of life
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that the item should
be disposed of separately from household waste. The item should
be handed in for recycling in accordance with local environmental
regulations for waste disposal. By separating a marked item from
household waste, you will help reduce the volume of waste sent to
incinerators or land-fill and minimize any potential negative
impact on human health and the environment.
8.Frequently Asked Questions
and Troubleshooting (FAQ)
