Key Features
Silent Mainboard
Equipped with TMC2208 silent stepper drivers that significantly reduce printing noise, making it suitable for home and office environments.
Carborundum Glass Bed
Upgraded glass build plate with special coating provides excellent adhesion during printing and easy removal after cooling.
Meanwell Power Supply
High-quality UL certified power supply ensures stable voltage output and improved safety during long printing sessions.
4.3" Color LCD
Large color touch screen with intuitive interface makes operation and configuration simple and user-friendly.
Resume Print Function
Automatically saves printing progress and can resume printing after power failure, preventing print failures.
Upgraded Extruder
Improved extruder design with better filament feeding mechanism reduces clogging and improves print quality.
Printing Technology Explained
FDM Technology
Fused Deposition Modeling builds objects layer by layer using heated thermoplastic filament
Bowden Extruder
Lightweight print head design reduces moving mass for faster and more precise printing
V-Slot Wheels
Precision V-slot aluminum extrusion with POM wheels ensures smooth and accurate movement
Dual Z-axis
Dual Z-axis lead screws provide better stability and prevent gantry sagging
Thermal Runaway
Built-in protection automatically shuts down heating if temperature exceeds safe limits
Filament Detection
Optional filament runout sensor pauses printing when filament runs out
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printer won't start | Power issue, loose connections | Check power supply, ensure all cables are properly connected |
| Poor layer adhesion | Bed not leveled, wrong temperature | Re-level bed, adjust bed and nozzle temperature |
| Filament not extruding | Nozzle clogged, extruder gear slipping | Clean nozzle, check extruder tension, clear filament path |
| Warped prints | Bed temperature too low, cooling too fast | Increase bed temperature, use enclosure, adjust cooling fan |
| Layer shifting | Belt tension, mechanical obstruction | Check belt tension, ensure smooth movement on all axes |
| Stringing/oozing | Retraction settings, temperature too high | Adjust retraction settings, lower nozzle temperature |
Error Codes
- E1: Hotend temperature error - Check thermistor and heating cartridge
- E2: Bed temperature error - Check bed thermistor and heating
- E3: Thermal runaway - Check all heating elements and wiring
- E4: Power loss - Check power supply and connections
- E5: Filament runout - Replace or insert filament
- E6: Over temperature - Allow printer to cool, check cooling system
