If clicking “Check (No-heating)”, the print head will immediately run a rectangular on
the print platform, you may observe the distance between the nozzle and platform.
Ideally, the distance should be of 0.1~0.2 mm (approx. a paper thin)
If clicking “Check (Heating)”(
Fig. 15
), the machine will automatically heating the
nozzle to 200°C and run a rectangular again with extrusion.
Note:
because the filament has not been inserted to the hotend yet, so, here it is required to
manually feed the filament through the Teflon tubing into the hotend as the temperature rising.
Push down the handle at the extruder (
refer to Fig. 9
) and manually insert the filament all the
way into the hotend and the filament should flow through when temperature reaching to over
~180-190°C, otherwise the filament has not been inserted properly. You may use the tweezer to
carefully get rid of the extruded filament at the nozzle.

Tips:
a during “Check (Heating)”, the touch screen will turn grey and
non-responsive.
b when nozzle is too close to the print platform (i.e. leveling is not appropriate),
the extrusion gear might be slipped and it will back to normal after manually
increase the distance (refer to next step 7).
7. The results of “Check (Heating)” are described as in
Fig. 16
