	=== '''How to clean the hotend''' ===		== '''Usage Suggestions''' ==

			To ensure THUNDER to work optimally, maintain it after you use it.

			1. Regularly add lubricating oil to the Z-axis screw, can reduce the friction between the moving parts, reduce the wear of the screw.

			2. Regularly check the tightness of X-axis and Y-axis belts, and adjust them according to the situation to prevent printing split-layer problems caused by belt relaxation.

			3. Regularly check whether the X-axis, hot bed and hot end are loose. If they are loose, please use a wrench to adjust the eccentric nut on the X-axis, hot bed and hot end, and re-fix the X-axis, hot bed and hot end.

			4. The printer should be placed in the appropriate temperature environment for use, the environment temperature is too high or too low may affect the normal work of the printer.

			5. Please turn off the power supply in time after using the printer.

			6. If you do not use the printer for a long time, please pay attention to the moisture-proof and waterproof treatment of the printer.

			7. When taking off the printed model, please wait for the hot bed to cool down before taking off the model. Otherwise, the PC film on the building board will be torn.

			8. If the filament adhered to the surface of the hot bed is difficult to be scraped off with a shovel knife, it is recommended to heat the hot bed to about 90℃ first, so that the filament adhered to the hot bed surface are softened, and then the adherent filament are easy to be cleaned up.

The control panel will pop up to prompt whether to confirm the calibration of the Y-axis closed-loop control sensor. When the hot end stops, the calibration is complete, and the UI will prompt that the calibration is complete.		Y axis: First, ensure that the hot bed can move smoothly on the Y-axis.
