¶ 5 Install the Printer
¶ 5.1 Install the light stand
- A.Install the light stand on the gantry frame using M5x8 flat-round head screws.
- B.Connect LED light cable.
- C.Place the LED light cable into the profile groove as shown in the figure and secure it with sealing tape.
¶ 5.2 Install the nozzle module and wire clamp
- A.Place the nozzle module on the back of the extruder, pre-lock the nozzle with 4 M3x6 hexagon socket head cap screw, and then tighten it.
- B.Clamp the wire clamp onto the X motor black plate.
¶ 5.3 Install the gantry
- A.Move the right profile of the bottom module 35 mm out of the desktop to reveal the installation hole.
- B.Place the gantry in the slot of the chassis, and pre-lock it with two M5x45 hexagon socket round screws with spring washers from the bottom to the top.
- C. Rotate the base module 180° to ensure that the profiles on both sides are level up and down. Use two M5x45 hexagon socket round screws with spring washers to align the holes on the left side of the hole to pre-lock, and then tighten to fix.
- D. Rotate the base module 180° and tighten the screws on the right side.
Use the short side of the wrench when tightening the screws.
¶ 5.4 Install the screen
Place the screen bracket to the side of the plastic that’s on the right, and tighten it with 3 M4x25 hexagon flat round head screws.
¶ 5.5 Install the rack
- A.Find the filament tube fittings and fix the threaded end on the right end of the rack.
- B.Fit the front slot of the installed rack to the front slot of the profile, and then press down to clamp the bottom of the profile.
¶ 5.6 Wiring
- Connect the nozzle to the 24-pin port as shown in the figure.
- Follow the yellow label on the 6-pin (4wires) port to connect the X-axis and Z-axis stepper motors.
- Connect the X-axis limit motor according to the yellow label on the 3pin (2 wires) port.
- Connect the 3-pin (3 wires) 2.0 port to the pinboard, and connect the 3-pin (3 wires) 2.54 port to the filament detector.
- The LED light 3pin (2 wires) 2.54 port is connected to the expansion port of the adapter board.
Caution:
● Please ensure the correct position for the power supply switch and mains before supply connection, in order to avoid damage to the device.
● If the mains between 100V and 120V, please select the 115V for the power supply switch.
● If the mains between 200V and 240V, please select the 230V for the power supply switch (default is 230V).
¶ 5.7 Pulley Tightness Adjustment
Before starting up, please check the tightness of the pulley.
X/Y/Z axis pulley adjustment:
Gently dial the pulley to check whether it is idling or stuck. If this phenomenon occurs, use an open-end wrench to adjust the hexagonal eccentric isolation column to make it rotate smoothly.
¶ 6 Assisted Leveling
Go to Settings → Leveling → Assisted Leveling. Tap numbers ①/②/③/④/⑤ respectively.
2. Turn the knob at the bottom of the hotbed and move the nozzle to the four corners of the printing platform so that the gap between the nozzle and the printing platform is almost the thickness of a piece of A4 paper (0.08 to 0.1 mm). Ensure that all the four corners are leveled.
¶ 7 Auto Leveling
- Go to "settings" and tap "leveling" to enter the CR Touch leveling interface.
Tap "start" and wait for the automatic leveling to complete.
- Return to the previous menu. Enter the assisted leveling interface. Adjust the Z-axis compensation value so that the height from the nozzle to the printing platform is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper. Return to the previous menu, and the Z-axis compensation value will be configured.
¶ 8 Loading the Filament
- A. In order to successfully load the filament, please trim the end of the filament at an angle of 45 degrees.
- B. Press the filament until it passes through the filament detection hole. Then press and hold the extruder handle to insert the filament into the extruder hole until it reaches the nozzle.
- C.Warm up the nozzle. If the filament flows out of the nozzle when the temperature reaches the target value, the filament is properly loaded.
Replacing the filament:
1.When the printer is not printing:
A. Heat the nozzle to over 185℃, and wait until the filaments inside the nozzle are softened. Press the extrusion handle, push the filaments downwards to see if there is any filament coming out of nozzle, and then quickly pull out the filaments to prevent them from being stuck in the throat pipe.
B. Place the new filament onto the rack and repeat the steps in Section 8: Loading the Filament.
2. When the printer is printing:
A. Pause the printing. After the printer stops, press and hold the extrusion handle and quickly extract the filament to prevent it from clogging in the heat break.
B. Place the new filament onto the rack and press it through the filament detector. Press and hold the extrusion handle to insert the filament into the nozzle. Then push the filament to squeeze out the residual filament in the nozzle and clean up the nozzle before resuming printing.
