2. Safety Precautions
Before installing and using the machine, be sure to read the following. Do not attempt any user manual does not describe
to use the machine to avoid personal injury and property damage accidents may cause.
3. Select the proper placement
 The machine is suitable for placement in a ventilated, cool, dry and less dusty environments.
 Note that when using thermal printer surroundings, avoid placing on a thick carpet or against a wall.
 Do not place the machine near flammable materials or high heat.
 Do not place the unit in a larger vibration or other unstable environment.
 Do not pile heavy objects on the unit.
4. Follow the standard use of power
 Use the power cord supplied with this unit.

 Refer to the "Installation" section of the machine performance parameters to select the appropriate 220V power
supply.
 Do not plug the power cord when your hands are wet.
 Please use a plug, be sure to fully inserted into the power outlet.
 Do not deliberately pull, twist the machine over the distribution line, to avoid causing an open or short circuit。
5. Note that in the printing process
 Do not use the machine without the supervision of staff.

 Printing process and print just completed, avoid touching the printer's internal structure and prints, to prevent
burns.
 If occur when printing printer smoke, abnormal noise, immediately turn off the power switch, the printer stops
working, and contact your purchaser.
 Often do product maintenance
 Do not attempt to use the method described in the manual does not disassemble or modify the machine to prevent
damage to the printer or other more serious accidents.
 Regularly in case of power failure, the printer clean with a dry cloth, wipe the dust and bonding of printed
materials. If you must use a damp cloth to clean, do not use flammable solvents, flammable solvents to prevent
contact with the printer's internal circuitry result in a fire or electric shock.

II. Cura Installation and Setup
1. Slice software installation
a. Install the software
Click Setup , pop-up installation window, always click Next to complete the installation.




b. Select "print multiple model" from the "Tools"

Change to Ender 3

2. Software parameter setting
Open , you can modify all of the printing process control parameters display screen.
a. Recommended parameter settings:

b. For in-depth study, refer to the following notes:
The saved "* .gcode" file name must be in English or number, can't named as Others,save the
"* .gcode" file to your TF card and then insert it to the circuit board, and restart the power, Select
"From to SD" in the main menu from LCD Control Screen,then select the saved "* .gcode"
documents, press button to confirm to warms up and begin to print.
If the in-depth studies are needed, please read the following items:

1、Layer height
(0.1mm)
(0.3mm)
Explanation：Layer height in millimeters. This is most important setting to determine the quality of you
print.Normal quality are 0.2mm, high quality is 0.1mm. You can go up to 0.25mm with a CR-10 for
every for fast prints at low quality.

2、Shell thickness
0.8mm(If the nozzle is 0.4mm)
2.0mm(If the nozzle is 0.4mm)
Explanation：Thickness of the outside shell in the horizontal direction. This is used in combination with
the nozzle size to define the number of perimeter lines and the thickness of those perimeter lines.

3、Enable retraction
Explanation：
Retraction is for without letting the material flow out during printing.Otherwise it will affect printing
surface.Details about the retraction can be configured in the advanced tap.

4、Bottom/Top thickness
Under the same layers
（0.6mm）
（1.2mm）
Explanation：This control the thickness of the bottom and top layers , the amount of solid layers put
down is calculated by the layer thickness and this value .Having this value a multiple of the layer
thickness makes sense .And keep it near your wall thickness to make an evenly strong part.

5、Fill Density(％)
（10%）
（30%）
（50%）
Explanation：
For a solid part use 100%,for an empty part use 0%.A value around 20% is usually enough.It
adjusts how strong the parts becomes.

6、Print speed（mm/s）
Explanation：Speed at which printing happens .
Suggest 50-80,according to what you print.Faster speed,worse effect.

7、Print temperature(℃)
Explanation：
Printing temperature used for printing . PLA:nozzle is 190-220,generally 200;Bed is 45-50.

8、Support type
Touching buildplate
原始图
None
Everywhere
Explanation：The blue is support.

9、Platform adhesion type
None
Brim
Raft
Explanation：

10、Filament

11、nozzle size（mm）
Explanation：The standard is 0.4mm.You can replace other size,0.2,0.3,0.6,0.8.The smaller
size,the higher quality,the longer time.It may be clogged easily with small size.

12、Retraction
Explanation： Prevent stringing or oozing,speed sets 80,distance sets 8(10).
1、speed(mm/s)
2、distance（mm）

13、Quality
Explanation：Print the thickness of the first layer,initial line width setting 100% is
more dense.Generally this as the default.
1、Initial layer thickness(mm)
2、Initial layer line width(%)

14、Cut off object bottom(mm)
Cut off:0mm
Cut off: 5mm
Cut off:15mm
Explanation：

15、Speed
Explanation：
1、travel speed(mm/s):Speed at which travel moves are done
2、Bottom layer speed（mm/s）：
3、Infill speed（mm/s）:
4、Out shell speed (mm/s):
5、Inner shell speed (mm/s):

16、Plugins
Do not use them


Expert settings
When a retraction is done,the
head is lifted this amount to
travel over the print.A value of
0.075mm works well.This feature
has a lot of positive effect
delta towers.
