4.2 Initial Bed Leveling (CR Touch)

The CR Touch 16-point automatic bed leveling technology simplifies the leveling process. After assembly, perform the auto-leveling procedure:

• Navigate to the "Leveling" menu on the control screen.
• Select "Auto Level" to initiate the 16-point probing process.
• Once auto-leveling is complete, fine-tune the Z-offset to ensure optimal first layer adhesion. Adjust the Z-axis compensation value so that the height from the nozzle to the printing platform is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper.

5. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

5.1 Загрузка ніткі

The Ender 3 S1 features an upgraded dual-gear direct extruder, making filament loading and unloading smooth. It supports various filaments including PLA, TPU, PETG, and ABS.

• Place the filament spool onto the spool holder.
• Feed the filament into the extruder until it is gripped by the gears.
• Preheat the hotend to the recommended temperature for your filament type.
• Push the filament through the hotend until it extrudes smoothly.

5.4 Дадатковыя магчымасці

• Silent Board: Equipped with a 32-bit silent mainboard, the Ender 3 S1 operates at a low noise level (≤50dB), providing a quieter printing environment.
• Dual Z-axis Screws: The dual Z-axis screw and dual-motor design ensures smoother and more synchronous movement, reducing lines and ridges on prints for higher precision.
• Аднаўленне страты харчавання: The printer can detect power outages and resume printing from where it left off, preventing wasted filament and time.
• Filament Sensor: An integrated filament sensor detects when filament runs out or breaks, pausing the print and alerting the user to prevent failed prints.
