Note: Please follow these steps and ensure that the guide tube is properly installed before
starting the "LOAD FILAMENT" function. Failure to install the guide tube may disrupt fi lament feed.
Reminder: If you are not too sure where the feed module tube port is,
you may open the casing of the machine to see the indication label.
Ensure that the guide tube has been tightly
inserted into the port to complete the guide tube
installation process.
Take out the guide tube and plug in one
end of the tube into the fi lament feed port
on the printing module.
To ensure that the guide tube is well inserted into the
fi lament feed port, you may gently press on the springs
around the feed port to make the insertion an easier
process.
Direct the guide tube from the tube
movement area out of the machine and
then insert the other end of the fi lament

Specifi cations
PLA fi laments are made using polymerized lactic acid, which is extracted from corn, sugarcane or other sugar-
containing crops, and is regarded as the most environmentally friendly 3D printing material. Unwanted PLA printed
objects can be simply discarded in the soil where it will naturally decompose.
PLA materials printed at low temperatures are not only suitable for family settings, its bright texture also makes it a
favorite amongst our clients. You may observe the characteristics of PLA during printing.
• Despite their harmlessness, PLA placed in an environment or water bath exceeding 50 oC (122 oF) will soften and deform.
• Hence, overly humid areas are not suitable storage environments for PLA. We recommend properly sealing and
stashing away unused PLA fi laments.
• A sugary smell is often generated when printing with PLA fi laments, giving yet another attractive feature.

CLEAN NOZZLE
Over time, carbon deposits or fi lament dust buildup in the nozzle may decrease its performance. It is advised to clean the
nozzle after every 25-hour of printing.
Also, when you fi nd the result of print bed calibration shows “ERR” or any residue on your prints, you may try to clean the
nozzle.
To clean the nozzle:
3.Hold the cleaning wire with the pliers, and carefully pass the wire
through the nozzle openning.
1.Select "YES" to begin.
