/ Clay 3D Printer / Setup & First Use / System Initialization & Connection

1. System Initialization & Connection

Power & Software Setup

  • Connect to a single-phase AC 110V/220V power supply. Turn on the printer and confirm the 3.5-inch color touchscreen (or control panel) displays device info correctly.
  • Install the included slicing software on your computer. Connect the printer via USB and test stable communication.

Nozzle & Air Pressure Calibration

  • Auto Home: Execute "Auto Home" via software or touchscreen to ensure the nozzle returns to the origin accurately.
  • Nozzle-Bed Gap: Use a 0.1mm feeler gauge or A4 paper to set the gap to 1-2mm (optimal for first-layer adhesion).
  • Air Pressure Test: Turn on the remote air-fed system (adjust to 0.2-0.4MPa). Check for no leaks in the feeding tube and test continuous extrusion with the proximal screw feeder
