Carborundum Glass Bed
Upgraded textured glass build plate provides excellent adhesion while printing and easy removal once cooled, ensuring perfect first layers every time.
MeanWell Power Supply
High-quality UL-certified power supply ensures stable voltage output and enhanced safety during long printing sessions.
4.3" Color Touch Screen
User-friendly color touch interface with intuitive menu navigation, real-time printing status, and easy parameter adjustments.
All-Metal Extruder
Upgraded all-metal extruder provides consistent filament feeding and supports a wider range of materials including flexible filaments.
Resume Print Function
Automatically saves print progress and can resume printing after power failure, preventing wasted time and materials.
Print Technology Explained
FDM Technology
Fused Deposition Modeling builds objects layer by layer using melted thermoplastic filament
Bowden Extruder
Lightweight print head design reduces moving mass for faster and more precise movements
V-Slot Wheels
Precision V-slot aluminum extrusion with POM wheels for smooth and accurate motion
Dual Z-axis
Dual Z-axis lead screws provide enhanced stability and better layer alignment
Capricorn Tubing
High-temperature Capricorn PTFE tubing reduces friction and prevents filament jams
Filament Runout Sensor
Detects when filament runs out and pauses print, allowing for filament change
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printer won't power on | Power switch, cable connection, fuse | Check power switch position, ensure cable is connected, check fuse |
| Poor bed adhesion | Unlevel bed, dirty surface, wrong temperature | Re-level bed, clean with isopropyl alcohol, adjust bed temperature |
| Filament not extruding | Clogged nozzle, extruder gear slip, wrong temperature | Clean nozzle, check extruder tension, increase hotend temperature |
| Layer shifting | Loose belts, mechanical obstruction, overheating drivers | Tighten belts, check for obstructions, improve cooling |
| Stringing/oozing | Retraction settings, temperature too high, travel speed | Adjust retraction settings, lower temperature, increase travel speed |
| Warped prints | Bed temperature, cooling, adhesion | Increase bed temperature, adjust cooling, use adhesion aids |
Error Codes
- E1: Hotend temperature error - Check thermistor and heating cartridge
- E2: Bed temperature error - Check bed thermistor and heater
- E3: Thermal runaway - Check cooling and temperature sensors
- E4: Power loss - Check power supply and connections
- E5: Filament runout - Replace or insert filament
- E6: Over temperature - Allow to cool and check cooling system
