Important Reminder!
Before performing any maintenance work on the printer and its electronic devices (including Tool head cable), please turn off the printer's power and disconnect the power supply to avoid circuit short-circuits that may cause additional damage to electronic devices and potential safety hazards.
When conducting maintenance or troubleshooting on the printer, please first ensure that the hotend and heated bed are at a safe temperature. Avoid operating them at high temperatures. If it is necessary to perform tasks at high temperatures, please wear appropriate heat-resistant gloves to ensure safe and effective maintenance work
