Local printing

This manual only introduces the installation of Creality slicer software. If users use other slicer software, we recommend to set the retraction parameter to 3mm to avoid the risk of plugging.

Install slicer

1. Please login official Creality website (www.creality.com) to download the latest Creality Slicer software
   
2. Select Preferences in sequence → Configure Creality → Next → Select corresponding language → Next → Finish to complete the setting.
   
3. Select the current model
   
4. Open Creality Slicer.
   
5. Load File
   
6. Select File

Printing modes

1. PLA mode: As our company recommends the PLA mode, the system's parameters have been set according to PLA filaments. It is recommended to use Creality filaments for printing. When the inside the box temperature exceeds 30°C, please open the top cover to avoid nozzle blockage.
   
2. ABS mode: As our company recommends the ABS mode, the system's parameters have been set according to ABS filaments. It is recommended to use Creality filaments for printing. When printing, please ensure that the top cover is on to keep the device's temperature inside.
   Note: When printing with ABS filaments, it is recommended that the size of a single model be controlled within 100 x 100 mm (length x width) to avoid warping caused by the characteristics of the filaments, which can result in printing failure.
   
   
   Note: Please install the filaments as shown in the figure above.

Start printing

In this order, go to Print files → Select file → Print.

Notes and Daily Maintenance

Feed out and feed in filaments

Note: The above interface is for reference only. The actual UI may vary.

Lubrication maintenance

Note: Please perform regular maintenance on the blue area using oil and lubrication (as shown in the figure).

Leveling the platform

Note: After using the printer for a long time, the distance between the platform and the nozzle may change, which could cause the adhesion of the first layer of the model to become weak and cause a printing failure. Please level the platform regularly.

You can use the leveling card provided to help with the leveling. The nozzle should be just able to scratch the leveling card. Keep adjusting them until you can feel a slight resistance from the nozzle when you pull the leveling card.
Note: The nozzle is a damageable part. If the nozzle becomes heavily worn out, please replace it regularly.

The nozzle is too far away from the platform, and the filaments cannot stick to the platform.

The filaments are evenly spread out and are sticking to the platform just right.

The nozzle is too close to the platform, and the filaments are not extruded enough, which may damage the platform.

Cleaning foreign objects from the chassis

1. Remove any foreign objects from the inside of the device.
   
2. Check whether there is any foreign object remaining on the Z-axis limit switch to prevent the Z-axis limit switch from getting stuck.
   

Connecting to cloud print

Note: If the network configuration is unsuccessful or you need to re-bind your smartphone, please follow the steps below.
