Automatic leveling (after receiving the printer)

1. Using the CR Touch automatic leveling, you need to check the Z-axis compensation value after leveling is finished. Enter “Prepare Z-axis compensation”, adjust the Z-axis compensation value and move the Z-axis, making the height of the nozzle to the platform is almost the thickness of a piece of A4 paper (0.08-0.1mm). Click the knob to confirm and the whole leveling is completed. For more details, please refer to the leveling video and the handbook.
2. When the inclination of the whole platform is greater than 2mm, the automatic leveling steps mentioned above are not applicable and you need to use auxiliary leveling.

How to move the X/Y/Z/E axis individually?

In the "Print Settings", select "Axis Movement" to control each axis individually, and you can also select the distance to move each time (0.1mm/1mm/10mm).

Can I adjust the temperature during the printing process?

Yes, it can be adjusted by clicking the temperature button or the settings button on the display screen.

There is no model on the platform after printing, and there is cured resin at the bottom of resin vat.

1. Remove the vat and the platform, select the file that is not sticked to the printing platform to print, and check the exposure result on the printing screen (confirm whether the model file is normal).
2. Use the Calibration Card to re-level the build platform. 3. Confirm whether the resin type and the exposure parameters match. (normal rigid resin, standard resin, exposure time
2.5-3.5 seconds, elastic resin, 3-5 seconds, high hardness/high toughness resin/dental mold resin, 4 -6 seconds)
