Lift the printer out of the box, and onto a sturdy surface such as a desk. Then unwrap the printer and remove all tape and plastic

Step 3:

Open the lid and remove the foam from the back.

Step 4:

Push the extruder(grey box) towards the back of the machine , then pull up the large foam piece. Remove the power cord, tool box and filament from the foam piece.

Step 5:

Open front door and remove the small foam piece, and remaining items.

Step 6:

With the hex keys provided in the tool box, undo and remove 4 silver screws at the bottom of the print platform. NOTE: Remove ONLY the silver screws

Step 7:

Remove the filament holder and small bolts from the accessories box. Use the smallest hex key to install the holder on the back of the printer

Step 8:

Plug the power cord in, and switch on the printer. Then click the Power button on the front display.

Step 9:

Select your language, and allow the printer to begin the setup process, You can skip the wifi process if you plan to transfer files by USB. The whole setup process will take around 5-10 minutes.

Step 10:

Load filament by taking your roll of filament out of its vacuum-sealed bag. Unhook the filament from the end and cut off the crooked section.

Ensure the orientation of the filament roll is correct as shown.

Feed the filament into the white tube at the back of the printer.

Step 11:

On screen tap 'Load' and wait for the printer to come up to temperature 220 degrees (This is displayed on screen).

Once at temperature, push filament into the top of the extruder until you can feel it being pulled, and ensure it's coming out of the nozzle correctly.

Step 12:

Once filament is loaded, the printer will automatically begin a test print to ensure it's working properly, once completed you can remove this test print by lifting up on the grey handle attached to the print bed. Flex the print bed slightly, and the print should come off. Then remove any remaining pieces of filament. Keeping the print bed clean will ensure you get great prints every time.
