START-UP GUIDE
After running for months, the X-axis belt may become loose, which might result in
slippage and get a few mm offset in X-axis. Tighten the belt to ensure the machine run
normally. Do as follows: loosen four black screws on X-axis motor with the hex wrench
as shown below, and then pull the X-axis motor hard towards right while tightening the
four screws. Now, gently press the top belt down to the bottom belt. After letting go, the
top and bottom belts separate immediately, meaning the belt has been tightened.
If X-axis belt is loose, please tighten the screw.
The resolution is low
Open ReplicatorG and adjust the parameters on Generate GCode window. Set 0.18 - 0.2
for high resolution and 0.27 for default. If it can’t be fixed, please contact us for
technical support.
No plastic coming out of the nozzle
If there’s no plastic coming out of the nozzle, please try the following:
Check if the filament is inserted into the feed tube correctly.
Set the extruder temperature to 235-240 ° (ABS) or 190-230 ° (PLA).
Take apart the extruder and enlarge the distance between the feed gear and the bearing.
If they are too close, the filament will be blocked.
If the extruder fails to extrude at the very beginning of building, please keep pushing for
25 seconds and check.
Recommend printing from SD card, because in this way the data will be transferred into
a structure (XTL format), while printing from computer may result in data error.
Unblocking the nozzle
If there’s no plastic coming out of the nozzle, while the fan and the drive gear are
working, the nozzle may be blocked. Unscrew the bolts at the lower corners of the fan.
When heating the extruder, thread the straightened paper clip through the feed hole into
the extruder nozzle. Push gently until feeling resistance. Then reload the filament and
check extruding.
NOTE: The nozzle becomes extremely hot during set-up and operation. DO NOT
TOUCH THE NOZZLE.
TIPS
1. Recommended ambient operation temperature: 25°C – 30°C.
2, Keep the machine away from any liquid. Or, it may get damaged.
3, The nozzle temperature is over 200°C when the printer is operating. Avoid touching.
4, ABS will produce a strong smell when building, so please keep ventilated.
