Installation Guide
Tools Needed:
- Hex wrenches (included)
- Spanner wrench
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
- Pliers
- Leveling card (included)
Step-by-Step Installation
- Unbox and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from packaging and verify all parts are present using the parts checklist.
- Assemble Frame: Connect the vertical aluminum extrusions to the base frame using the provided screws and hex wrenches.
- Install Gantry: Mount the X-axis gantry to the vertical extrusions, ensuring it moves smoothly without binding.
- Install Print Bed: Attach the heated bed to the Y-axis carriage, ensuring it's securely fastened.
- Connect Electronics: Route and connect all cables to the main control board following the color-coded connectors.
- Install Extruder: Mount the Sprite Direct Drive extruder to the X-axis carriage and connect the cables.
- Level the Bed: Use the CR-Touch auto-leveling sensor and manual adjustments to ensure the print bed is perfectly level.
- Test Run: Perform a test print to verify all components are functioning correctly.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printer won't start | Power issue, loose connections | Check power supply, ensure all cables are securely connected |
| Poor first layer adhesion | Bed not level, incorrect nozzle height | Re-level bed using CR-Touch, adjust Z-offset |
| Filament not extruding | Clogged nozzle, extruder gear slipping | Clean nozzle, check extruder tension, clear filament path |
| Layer shifting | Belt tension, mechanical obstruction | Check and adjust belt tension, ensure smooth movement |
| Stringing/oozing | Temperature too high, retraction settings | Lower temperature, adjust retraction distance and speed |
| Warped prints | Bed temperature, cooling, adhesion | Increase bed temperature, use enclosure, apply adhesive |
Error Codes
- E1: Heating failed - Check thermistor and heating cartridge
- E2: Bed heating failed - Check bed thermistor and heater
- E3: Thermal runaway - Check cooling and temperature sensors
- E4: ADC error - Check wiring and connections
- E5: Power loss - Check power supply and connections
- E6: Filament runout - Load new filament or disable sensor
