PROFESSIONAL 3D PRINTER
USER MANUAL
Precautions
1. The Q300 3D printer requires the power adapter provided by the original
manufacturer, otherwise the machine could become damaged or even cause a fire
hazard. Please also keep the power adapter away from water and out of high
temperature environments
2. During printing, the nozzle of the printer will reach 260°C and the print platform could
reach 100°C. Please do not touch these parts with your bare hands while they are
hot—not even with the heat resistant gloves included with the machine—as the
temperature could damage the gloves and injure your hands.
3. During printing, the nozzle and print platform will move at high speeds. Do not touch
these parts while they are moving.
4. Please wear goggles when removing the supporting material from models and
detaching models from the perf board.
5. When printing with ABS and PLA, the plastics will create a light odor. Please run the
printer in a well-ventilated environment. We also suggest you put the printer in an
environment with a stable temperature as unwanted cooling could cause adverse
effects to the print quality
6. When the UP software is sending data to the printer—indicated on the status bar on
the left bottom corner of the LED screen with the text "sending layers"—do not
unplug the USB cable as this will disrupt the data transfer and result in a printing
failure. The USB cable can be unplugged after the data transfer is finished.
7. The Q300's ideal working temperature is between 15°C and 30°C with a relative
humidity between 20–50%. It is recommended that you discharge any static charge
from your body before touching the machine to prevent an interruption while printing
and any potential damage to the printer.
Warning label on printer:
High Temperature, do not touch!
Warning label on printer:
Moving Parts, do not touch!

Removing the Nylon Ties
Installing the Perf Board
Remove the nylon tie from the left side
smooth rod Remove the nylon tie from the right
side smooth rod
Remove the nylon ties from the
horizontal smooth rods.
Installing Filament
Installing the UP Software
To install the filament spool, open
the magnetic cover and insert the
filament into the guiding tube at
the spool holder.
Push the filament into the guiding
tube until it comes out from the
other end. Put the spool onto the
cassette and cover the spool with
the magnetic cover.
1. Go to the support section of
www.quant3d.com to download the latest
version of the UP software
2. Double-click the setup.exe file to install the
software. (The default installation path is
C:\ProgramFiles\UP.) A pop-up window will
appear. Select “Install”and follow the
instructions to finish. The printer’s driver is
now installed into the system.
After installation, in the UP folder:
The Driver folder contains the printer drivers
The Example folder contains STL files for the printed parts of
the UP printers and example files.
Confirming the Printer Driver Installation
Initializing Your Printer
Initialization is required for every time the machine is switched on. During initialization, the
print head and print platform move slowly and hit the end stops of the XYZ axes. This is
essential as the printer needs to find the endpoints of each axis. The other software options
will light up and become available for use only after initialization.
First, make sure your computer and
printer are connected via the USB cable
and that the printer is switched on. The
Q300 LED bar will light up in yellow.
In the software’s main menu, click
“3D Print.”
If the “Initialize”and “Maintenance”
options light up and are available for
selection, these indicate that the
printer driver was successfully
installed.
Other functions of Initialization Button:
1. Stop the current print job: During a
print, press and hold the button.
Reprint the last job: Double-click the
button.
There are two ways to initialize your printer:
1. The Q300 can be initialized by clicking the "Initialize"
option in the software menu (shown above).
2. When the printer is idle, hold the initialization button
on the printer.

Automatic Platform Calibration
Platform calibration is the most important step for successfully printing as it ensures part
adhesion on the first layer. Ideally, the distance between the nozzle and the platform is
constant, but in reality the distance varies at different positions due to many reasons (e.g. a
slightly tilted platform) and this could cause warping on prints or even a complete print
failure. Fortunately, the Q300 has automatic platform calibration and automatic nozzle
height detection functions. By using these two functions, the calibration process can be
completed quickly and easily.
In the "3D Print" menu in the UP Software,
select "Auto Level" to initiate auto leveling.
The leveling probe will be lowered and start
to probe nine positions on the platform. After
probing the platform, the leveling data will be
updated and stored in the machine. The
leveling probe retracts automatically.
Calibration Tips:
1. Perform calibrations when the nozzle is not heated.
2. Remove residual plastic on the nozzle before calibrating.
3. A perf board should be fitted on the platform during calibration.
