Leveling It is essential to level the print platform of a 3D printer. Once leveled, It is not necessary to level every time before each prints. Please follow the procedures below: 1. Manual Leveling Step 1. Plug in the power cord and power on the printer. Step 2. On the "Home Menu”, click Z". Lock the Z axis to prevent the Z axis from falling during leveling. Step 3. Place the leveling paper (included on top of the printing platform) on the lower left corner of the printing platform, as shown below.
Leveling Step 4. Manually move the printing head and platform to the point @. Tighten or loosen the adjustable nut underneath the printing platform to adjust the distance between the nozzle and the platform to about the thickness of the the nozzle just touches the paper), as shown below. You need to adjust the adjustable nut until you feel the drag resistance when pulling the paper back and forth.
Leveling Step 5. Follow step 4 to level the other three corners as shown below. You need to adjust the 4 points of the platform 2 or 3 times to ensure leveling result is OK, otherwise the platform could be scratched. Step 6. Move the printing head and platform at the same time, so that the printing head can be moved in diagonal order, as shown below. In the process of moving, check whether the distance between nozzle and printing platform is about a piece of paper thin or not.
Leveling 2. Supplements to leveling In some rare cases, after “"Home All”, the nozzle can be still much lower than the platform, even after fully tighten the 4 nuts underneath. On the opposite, sometimes the nozzle is still too high from the platform, even after fully loosen the 4 nuts underneath. How to solve this: adjust Z adjustable nut. At both ends of X axis, there is a Z adjustable nut.
Leveling sl (2) Tighten Z adjustable nut by Xmm if nozzle is lower than the platform (Xis defined by how much the nozzle is under the platform), while loosen it by Ymm if nozzle is too high from the platform (Yis defined by how much the nozzle is above the platform). it may need adjustment for few times. Tighten or loosen It Z adjustable nut (3) Click all” to verify the results. After this, please level the platform again as described above.
Printing test 1. Filament in (1) Step 1. Return to the home menu, click 10 times to rise the print head. (2) Place the filament on filament holder, please note the direction of filament.Click “Tools”"— “Filament”"— “Filament in”, and the interface as shown in the figure below will pop up, click “OK". Straighten the end of filament, pass the filament through filament sensor, and then press the handle on the extrude and push the filament in until it just goes in the white Teflon tubing.
Printing test (3) When the nozzle reaches to the target temperature (i.e. 230°C), click “Filament in” again, the filament would be automatically fed in by the extrude and it would be melted through the nozzle. Now, click “STOP”. You may use tweezers to clean the filament residue on the nozzle tip.
Printing test 2. Print test Insert the memory card into the memory card slot at the base. Click on the Home Menu “Print” to enter the file list. There is a printable test file included -“airflow” (author: epithet, www.thingiverse.com). Single click on “owl_pair”, and click “Print”. The machine will be automatically heating the platform and nozzle before printing. There might be 3 kinds of results for the first layer of the test prints.
Printing test C: Nozzle too high, Large gap, filaments are not even adhere to the platform. Slowly loosen the corresponding nuts underneath the platform by half circle or level again. Nozzle too high Filament: 4 N If you can't improve the model printing effect by fine-tuning the adjustable nut in the printing, please click “STOP” on the screen, return to the Home Menu, and click “Tools” — “Axis” to raise the Z axis by 10mm.
Driver installation There are two operational mode for Mega X : print offline and print online. Print offline: As shown previously, after insert memory card, platform leveled, click “Print” on the display and print a selected file (G Code files ONLY).

Resume from outage Mega X allows resume print after accidentally power outage (This function only valid when print offline, via memory card only). 1. As shown in , in slicing software (i.e. Curare, it is required to place the model at the rear of the platform. Because during “RESUME”, machine will home first and could touch/interfere with the unfinished object if the model was placed in the front area. {Home position) (1) 2.
Resume from outage Note: (D "Resume from outage” Is valid only for offline printing; @ just type the "G5” when you use it for the first time, G5 will be automatically added later, without having to manually type it again. 3. During printing, if there is an accident power loss, the print will stop immediately. But after power comes back, customers could choose “Print” = select the unfinished file— “RESUME", machine will home first and continuing on the unfinished object.
Maintenance It is necessary to perform routine maintenance to the 3D printer to achieve consistent and quality results. Some maintenance suggestions are shown as below: 1. Clean the nozzle with the nozzle cleaning needle under preheating conditions. If the filament residual in the nozzle could not be cleared 100%, please replace the nozzle. 2. Regularly add lubricating oil to smooth rods, flanges bearings, lead screws, brass nuts, etc. By doing so, it can minimize the wear-out failure of those moving parts.
Troubleshooting 1. Motor shaking or abnormal sound @ The corresponding end stop could not be triggered when Home, check the wiring, and inspect any obstacles by manually moving the corresponding axis. @ The motor cable are not connected properly, check each connection and then inspect the cable routing for any faults. @ The motor is damaged. 2.
