Foreword Thanks in advance for choosing our M508 3D Printer! With the Quick Start Guide (hereinafter as “Guide”), you could enjoy accomplishing the assembly, Test and Printing step by step. Meanwhile, you will also learn the structure principle and its special FDM printing technology deeply, and then you will get great progress on not only the theoretical knowledge but also the manipulative ability.
(except leading by the inartificial reason). We will try our best to settle your problems as soon as possible). 6. Assembly and Calibration for M508 M508 assembly: Please assembly the printer by following the step1- step7 on assembly diagram and video, and pay attention the prompt for key of assembling.(SD-Card: \Installation Instruction\Video)
7. Testing and Commissioning 7.1 Power on test When connecting the power supply to your printer, please make sure whether the power indicator light is on, LCD screen show correctly or not, hotbed and the extruder can be heated rightly or not, the thermistor, turbine fan and radiator fan works normally or not;...
X axis move Z axis move Y axis move 7.2 Hotbed leveling test: Hotbed leveling test: Please make calibration to level the hotbed according to the video(SD-Card:\Installation Instruction\Video\Hot Bed Leveling.mp4)After assembling, you need to level the bed when firstly print 7.2.1 Rough Debugging to level hotbed 7.2.1.1 Adjust the screws at the 4 angle of the hotbed to make the screws 4mm out of the nut (Picture 7.1);...
Picture 7.4 Picture 7.5 7.2.2 Accurate Debugging 7.2.2.1 Auto home and make the XYZ axis back to origin (Picture 7.6); 7.2.2.2 Screw the screws at 4 angle of hotbed to make the nozzle above 1mm to the hotbed (Picture 7.7) (PS: After Auto home, please click “Disable Steppers”...
Filament The Upper Aluminum Piece Picture 7.11 Picture 7.12 Picture 7.13 7.3.2 Change the Filament When Printing 7.3.2.1 Click “tune” →“change filament”;The printer stop working and the XY axis would be back to the origin, then the extruder would send back the filament from the printer automatically (Picture 7.14); 7.3.2.2 Change the filament manually and press the knob, then the printer would go on printing starting from the former position of printing model.
