• Before using this printer, remove all fixed materials from the extruder module and
print bed. Switching on the printer without removing these fixed materials may
damage the machine.
• Be sure to remove the 4 clips from the shafts as illustrated on the right.
• Do not use the printer in dusty high humidity or outdoor environments.
• Place the printer on a stable and even surface to avoid it falling and causing serious injury.
• Do not put your hand into the machine during operation to avoid collision risk due to
movement of the machine or to avoid burn due to high temperature.
1. Quick Guide, Warranty Card
Keep original packaging materials in case you need to send your unit back for repair
during the warranty period.
If other packing materials are used instead, the printer may become damaged during transportation.
In such a situation, XYZprinting reserves the right to charge a repair fee.

Handy tips
• The filament will load better when the tip of the filament is cut at a 45° angle.
• When the printer is not in use, raise the filament spool holder and close the side cover.
Lower the filament spool
holder on the left side of
the printer until horizontal.
(please refer to this step if the axle ring is not installed on the spool)
Place the assembled
filament spool (with
the spool ring) on
the spool holder.
Press the release arm and
push the filament all the
way to the bottom so that
the front end of the
filament is completely
inserted into the extruder
module.
2
Remove the side cover by pressing down
firmly at the center on the left side of the
cover and pushing aside the cover. (pay
attention to where you apply your force to
ensure proper dismantling) Keep the side
cover securely for future use.

Handy tips
Registration via XYZmaker before your
first print is strongly recommended.
When registered with XYZprinting, you
will receive latest technical supports
and updates. To register, simply click
"Register Now".
Before you start printing, please attach
the bed tape to the print bed. The print
bed tape is reusable, and can be
replaced worn.
If the room you are printing in is below
25 ℃/ 77 ℉, for greater adhesion,
apply glue to the bed tape.
After printing has started, check if the
first layer is stuck to the print bed.
Good base layer is one of the keys to
successful printing.

Once this function is
selected, the nozzle will
heat up automatically
and move the nozzle to
a proper location
where you can easily
clear away all residual
filaments in the nozzle.
The printing module will automatically move
to the working position. The nozzle will then
heat up to the operating temperature. Please
wait for the extrusion process to finish.
Verify that the nozzle is capable of extruding
the filaments to demonstrate proper loading
of the filaments. If not, please repeat the
filament loading process.
The printing module will automatically
move to the working position. The
nozzle will then heat up to the operating
temperature. Please wait for the unload

Note: The end tip of the ejected filament may exhibit
some residual effects. This is considered a normal
phenomenon.

for printer maintenance.
First click on [Home Axes]. The printing device
will be returned to the initial axis position at
the lower left corner of the printing area. Then
adjust the positions of the printing module
(X-AXIS), printing platform (Y-AXIS), and
printing axes (Z-AXIS).
Select “X-AXIS” to move extruder
rightwards and leftwards.
Select “Y-AXIS” to move print bed forwards
and backwards.
Select “Z-AXIS” to move the print axis
(Z-AXIS) upwards and downwards.

●Automatic horizontal calibration
Automatic horizontal calibration may either be ON or OFF. Default: ON.
The software would automatically implement horizontal calibration and
compensation accordingly.
Printing speed may be improved if automatic horizontal calibration has
been switched OFF. However, this may affect printing quality.
●Buzzer
Buzzer is turned on by default, you can select "OFF" to change the
setting.
When the buzzer is turned on, the printer will output an audible signal
when a button is pressed, receiving data, print job is finished, or issue is
detected.
●Restore Default
Clicks "Restore Default" all settings will be reset to factory default.
Upwards and downwards to adjust the printing distance between the
bed and printing module.
Each adjust has a step of 0.05 mm.
If the first layer distance is too high (too large) or too low (too close), we
recommend you using z-offset to adjust the printing distance.

Using the accessory
tools Maintenance Tools Usage Application method
Accessory tools can be used only in an
environment with guidance or moni-
toring by adult. Do not allow children
to obtain maintenance tools in unfa-
miliar situations in order to avoid
danger.
Filament should be unloaded from the extruder before cleaning the feeding path.
Care should be taken during the operation to avoid potential burn injuries.
Scraper Taken off the
printing object
After print is finished, the printing object may be taken off with Scraper.
Cleaning Tools
Cleaning Brush
Usage Application method
Feeding Path Cleaning
Wire
Cleaning Wire
Clean gearwheel
After long periods of use, the
automatic feed system may
have experience unstable
extrusion of the filaments due
to buildup of residual materials
within the filament channels.
Clean Feeding Path
If the cleaning cycle does not
unclog the extruder, try clean-
ing the feeding path by useing
the feeding path cleaning wire.
Clean Nozzle
In order to prevent print quality
from impact due to residual and
accumulated filament, which
results in poor discharge.
The printer filament feed module should be
cleaned after cleaning the nozzle. To do this,
please switch off the power first.
Open the feed module cover and clean the gears
using a gear cleaning brush.
1. Switch on the power and activate the "Clean
Nozzle" function by using the software.
2. Release the extruder module (don't remove the
heating cable at the side).
3. Insert the thick cleaning wire into the feeding
path all the way down and “floss” the inside
of the nozzle to push the residue out.
4. After cleaning the feeding path, reinstall the
extruder module.
we recommend you to clean nozzle for every 25
hours of print. Please clamp the nozzle cleaning
wire with needle-nosed pliers to insert it into the
opening of the nozzle carefully for cleaning.
