Key Features
Silent Mainboard
Equipped with TMC2208 silent stepper drivers that reduce operational noise to below 50dB, allowing for quiet operation in any environment.
Carborundum Glass Bed
The upgraded carborundum glass build plate provides excellent adhesion during printing and easy removal once cooled, ensuring perfect first layers.
Meanwell Power Supply
High-quality UL-certified power supply ensures stable voltage output and enhanced safety during long printing sessions.
V-Slot Aluminum Profile
Industrial-grade aluminum extrusion frame provides exceptional stability and rigidity for precise printing results.
Resume Print Function
Automatic power failure recovery allows the printer to resume printing from the last layer after unexpected power interruptions.
Upgraded Extruder
All-metal extruder with improved feeding mechanism provides consistent filament flow and reduced clogging issues.
Printing Technology Explained
FDM Technology
Fused Deposition Modeling melts thermoplastic filament and deposits it layer by layer to create 3D objects.
Bowden Extruder
Lightweight print head design reduces moving mass for faster and more precise printing movements.
Heated Bed
Temperature-controlled build surface prevents warping and improves adhesion for various filament types.
Auto-Leveling
Optional CR-Touch sensor enables automatic bed leveling for perfect first layers every time.
Filament Runout Sensor
Detects when filament runs out and pauses printing, allowing for filament replacement without print failure.
OctoPrint Compatible
Fully compatible with OctoPrint for remote monitoring and control via web interface.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printer won't start | Power issue, faulty power supply | Check power cable connection, verify power switch position |
| Poor first layer adhesion | Bed not leveled, incorrect nozzle height | Re-level bed, adjust Z-offset, clean build surface |
| Filament not extruding | Nozzle clogged, extruder gear slipping | Clean nozzle, check extruder tension, increase temperature |
| Layer shifting | Belt tension, mechanical obstruction | Check belt tension, ensure smooth axis movement |
| Stringing/oozing | Temperature too high, retraction settings | Lower temperature, adjust retraction distance and speed |
| Warped prints | Bed temperature, cooling too fast | Increase bed temperature, use enclosure, adjust cooling |
Error Codes
- E1: Hotend temperature error - Check thermistor connection
- E2: Bed temperature error - Check bed thermistor
- E3: Thermal runaway - Check heater cartridge
- E4: Power loss - Check power supply and connections
- E5: XYZ homing error - Check endstop switches
- E6: Filament runout - Replace or reload filament
