Step 7: Install the Nozzle Brush 1. Install the Nozzle brush module to the printer. No.6Bag: 2x Brush Module 4x M3*6Screw 1x 2.0mm L Wrench 2. In the installation progress, the brush module can be adjust up and down, make sure the brass nozzle is about 1mm under the white Teflon sheet, Teflon sheet can wipe the nozzle slightly.
Step 8: Check before Power On 1. Press and hold the black plastic edge on the connector. 2. Insert the Teflon tube to the bottom, the insert distance is about 3.5 CM. Tips: Be sure to insert the Teflon tube into the bottom,so it does not fall off.
Step 9:Load the filament 2. For better printing,cut a 1. Hang the filaments on 3. Straighten the 45-degree slope at the end the filament holder. end of the filament. of filament with pliers. 4. Press the handle of extruder 5. Pull filament into the wire tube. to pull filament pass through.

Step 12: Check the Left hot end and Right hot end at the same height 1. Install the positioning block on the linear guide. 2. Move the left and right extruder to the positioning block, and check whether the installation height of the hot end is the same.
Printer calibration Step 1: Turn On The printer 1. Plug the power cord into the socket. 3. Click the metal switch on 2. Press the switch from the front panel. 4.Select the language you need. Tips: Please unplug the 3D Printer if it will not be in use for a while.
Step 2: Bed Leveling 1. After the self-test is completed, you will enter the main interface.Perform the bed leveling, 2. Click on ‘Maintenance’--‘Next’--‘Level Bed’. 3. Prepare an A4 paper. The nozzle will test 4 points on the platform. Down 4. At each point, adjust the nut to allow the distance between the nozzle and the platform is the thickness of A4 paper.

Step 3: Z-Offset 1. Set the gap between the nozzle and the platform. Prepare an A4 paper. 2. Click on ‘Maintenance’---‘Next’--‘Z Offset’. 3. Click the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ button in the Z Offset interface, then the nozzle will move in the direction accordingly. Ensure that the gap between the nozzle and the platform is a distance of the thickness of A4 paper.
Printing test 1. The card has a test model that we prepared for you before delivery. 2. Please select the file in the TF card for printing. No.7Bag: 1x TF card Tips: Please make sure that the metal of the TF card faces up to prevent damage to the machine motherboard. Don't let it fall.

XY Offset Setting Required in replacing the nozzle or two-color modules that are not aligned Step 1: Nozzle Coarse tune 1. Loading two-color filament in the left and right nozzle, which is easy to observe. 2. Set XY Coarse X to 3(353), Y to 3(0) 3.
Page 22
Step 2: Nozzle Fine Tuning 1. Print the Gcode NozzleFintTune.gcode and set the XY Fine Tune 2. Find the small offset in X (the horizontal direction) and Y(the vertical direction), in the example printing the X Y smallest offset is both 3.

Question 1: What if the nozzles clog? Error Diagnosis:Check the feedrate, temperature,and tube insertion. Solution: Dredge the nozzle,Please remove the fan above the nozzle,and then heat the nozzle to 230℃ and carefully pull out filament with pliers. Set the parameters of TPU, and insert the Heat Break. Reinsert or replace Hotend. If the problem still cannot be solved, You can search website: www.weedo3dprinter.com.

Question 5: What if the machine is deformed or falling off for transportation? Error Diagnosis:Examine the problem area Solution: Replace the parts. Question 6: What if model does not stick to platform or difficult to remove? Solution: If the gap between the nozzle and the platform is too large, the model will not stick to the platform. If the nozzle clearance is too small, the model will adhere too tightly to the platform.Please use Z Probe Offset to adjust the gap between the nozzle and the platform,or stick it on platform with a glue stick.
