Unpacking Your Finder

1. Place the packaging box on a clean work surface. Open the box, grasp the two handles and

then lift your Finder out of the box.

2. Removing the protective foam sheets at two sides, you will see the Finder in a transparent

nylon bag. Then remove the bag to unveil the Finder.

3. On the top foam sheet, you can see the Quick Start Guide, 4GB USB stick, three Allen wrenches

(M1.5, 2 and 2.5) and one screwdriver.

4. Removing the top foam sheet, you will see the extruder and X-axis guide rods which are held

————————————————————————————————————————————

with buckles. Use scissors to cut them off to release the X guide rods. Discard the blue tape that

holds the flat cable in place.

5. Taking the protective foam for filament out of the Finder, you will see a spool of PLA filament

inside. Filament color is randomly selected.

6. Then you will see the build plate. The build plate pasted with a blue build plate tape is ready

for direct use. In the grooves at both sides, you will see a filament guide tube, a power cable and

a USB cable. Move the build plate up. Remove the protective foam and take the power cable and

USB cable out.

You have now unpacked your Finder successfully.

Hardware Assembly

Your Finder has been almost assembled before leaving factory; you can start up the Finder for

printing after mounting the filament spool and completing leveling.

Place Spool into Cartridge

Remove the filament cartridge in the rear of Finder, where you place the filament spool. Thread

the filament through the filament guide tube. Note: You should ensure the filament spool rolls

anticlockwise.

Filament Loading and Unloading

Connecting Power Cable

Insert the power supply into the power input on the back of the Finder and plug the power cord

into an electrical outlet.

Loading Filament

Turn on your Finder by clicking power button at the right side of the touch screen.

Then tap [Tools]--[Filament]--[Load]. Extruder is heating up. After the extruder reaches 220℃,

the printer will sound a beep to prompt you to load the filament into the extruder. Press the

spring presser down and insert the filament into the extruder at an upright angle. Within a few

seconds, you should see an even string of plastic coming out from the extruder nozzle.

Note: Your Finder will sound a warning when the filament is running out; you should feed your

Finder in time.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Unloading the filament

1. Tap [Tools]--[Filament]--[Unload]. After the extruder reaches 220℃, the printer will sound a

beep to prompt you to unload the filament from the extruder. Keep pressing the spring presser

down, push filament in a little first until you see melted plastic coming out from nozzle end, then

gently pull the filament out.

Note: Do not pull out the filament with force as it will damage the gears. If the melted filament

has cooled down in the extruder, please repeat the steps above.

Leveling the Build Plate

1. Tap [Tools] - [Level] on your Finder touch screen. Please wait while the extruder and platform

finish initial movements. Screw three nuts under the platform anticlockwise until you can’t

tighten them any more, then tap [OK] button. On the next pop-up dialog, tap [Yes] if you can’t

finger tighten all the nuts any more, or tap [No] to continue tightening.

2. After tapping [Yes] button, the extruder starts to move towards the first point and the plate

moves up and down to verify the distance between nozzle and plate. If distance too big, please

————————————————————————————————————————————

unscrew the corresponding nut under the platform clockwise until hearing a steady beep and the

[Verify] button appears.

3. Tap [Verify] to check whether the distance is appropriate now. If distance too small, please

screw corresponding nut under platform anticlockwise until hearing a steady beep and the

[Verify] button appears again. Tap [Verify] to check whether the distance is appropriate this time.

4. If the distance is appropriate till now, Tap [OK] to second point leveling. If still not, please

follow the prompts to adjust again till you see [OK] button.

————————————————————————————————————————————

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 above to complete second and third points leveling and then Tap

[Finish] to exit.
