1. Introduction
1.1 How to use this manual
This User Manual is divided into four sections which cover the Introduction,
Overview, Operation, and Troubleshooting. Please study this manual carefully
before installation, and use the printer according to these instructions. Keep
this manual handy and refer to it when necessary.
1.2 Precautions
Please read this section carefully before using the printer.
1.2.1 Safety
The printer can only be used with the power adapters supplied by this
company, or the product may be damaged, with a risk of fire.
To avoid burning, or model deformation, do not touch the model, nozzle, or
the platform by hand, or any other part of the body, while the printer is
working or immediately after it has finished printing.
Protective glasses should always be worn when removing support material,
especially PLA.
The brown sections of the currently supplied gloves melt at around 200
degrees, therefore please do not hold the extruder block with the gloves.
There is a slight smell from ABS when it is being extruded. The smell is,
however, not too unpleasant. A well ventilated room is recommended by
most people to be safe, however when printing keep the printer away from
any draughts as this can affect the warping of ABS prints. When ABS is
burnt is releases toxic fumes.
The following classifications are used in this manual.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
1. Introduction

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in serious injury.
Gloves: When performing certain maintenance procedures, the
machine may be hot and gloves are required to avoid burns.
Safety Glasses: Wear safety glasses to avoid injury to your eyes.
1.2.2 Protection
The printer must not be exposed to water or rain, or damage may occur.
Do not shut down the UP! System or pull out the USB cable when loading
a digital model, or the model data may be lost.
When using the ―Extrude‖ function, keep at least 50mm between the
nozzle and the platform. If too close, the nozzle may get blocked.
The printer is designed to work properly at an ambient temperature of
between 15°C and 30°C and humidity of between 20% and 50%;
Operating outside these limits may result in low quality models.

2. Overview
The Q200 Printer is designed with ultimate portability and simplicity in mind. The
system and software allow you to print great models with only a few keystrokes,
even if you have never used a 3D printer before. The system uses a nozzle to
deposit molten plastic, so printed parts are strong and durable. Congratulations
on purchasing a Q200 Printer.

3. Operation
3.1 Preparation
3.1.1 Installation the printer
Assemble the four parts first following the diagram above.
Extrude Head
(1) remove extruder guard from extruder head
(2) unscrew the scew (d) and fix the extruder head onto the holder
(3) make sure the extruder is parallel with the Extruder axis make flat cable
(4) Connect the extruder cable (14-pin) plug into the socket (c), and put the
guard back on.
3. Operation
10
Platform: Raise the platform axis to a height at which you can reach under it
to insert the screws. Line up the screw holes (e, f) on the platform with the
screw holes on the heater base and insert the screws in from the bottom and
tighten them.
Perfboard: Fix the perfboard on the platform with 4 clips at each corner. (see
3.3.5)
Roller shaft: Unscrew the screw (b) from the printer, and then fix the roller shaft
with the screw. Please note that the roller shaft should lock into the screw (a).
Material Extrude (top view)
(1) Connect the power adapter to the power interface.
(2) Insert the end of ABS filament into the Filament tube.
(3) Start the UP! Software (refer to the software install procedure in 3.1.2 if you
have not already installed it), and press the ―Extrude‖ button in the
―maintenance‖ dialogue box, which is accessed from the ―3D Print‖ menu.
(4) After the printer nozzle has warmed up to 260°C, the printer will beep. Push
