5, Load/unload filament
5.1 Error8
Check real-time hot-end temperature display on screen. If it is negative, check the installation of the thermistor plug, make sure it install as below:
If anything good about thermistor, that is hot end issue, in this case we should follow below video change hot end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwpLTFwFzAg
5.2 Error0 or Error12
Check the installation of the hot-end thermistor and the plug of the hot-end heating rod.
If the installation is normal, the cable may be broken. Replace the hot end;
5.3 Extruder not working
5.3.1 Check the installation of the extruder cable plug (E refers to the extruder).
5.3.2 The extruder defaults to work after reaching the hot end set temperature (minimum 195 degrees). If it still cannot work, check the installation of the extruder motor wire.
5.3.3 If it still can't work, exchange the X and E motor wire plugs, control the movement respectively, and report the situation to the after-sale service.
5.4 Filament cannot be extruded
When without loading the filament, the extruder works fine, this sitation is hot end blocked. When the filament is not loaded, the extruder works abnormally, please contact the after-sales service directly support@longer3d.com
5.5 Nozzle smoking
Check the thermistor is completely detached or loosely installed (check when cooling), reinstall it.
6, Start printing

6.2 Newly added files not recognized
LONGER LK5 PRO recognizes the Gcode file in the root directory of the Micro SD card and checks the format of the newly added file.
P.S. Gcode files can be generated by slicing software.
If still not work, contact LONGER 3D technical team:support@longer3d.com
6.3 Error9
Check that the touch screen displays the real-time hotbed temperature, and if it is negative, check the installation of the hotbed cable plug.
The cable is installed normally. Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the aluminum substrate.
video about measure the resistance of the hot bed socket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFV3JCilzA8
If still not work, contact LONGER 3D technical team: support@longer3d.com
6.4 Error1/13
Check the heat bed cable plug installation.
Check the resistance of the aluminum substrate. If it is normal, replace the cable for testing. If the cable is still abnormal, contact LONGER 3D technical team: support@longer3d.com
6.5 The print size is too small
Check the computer slicing software to set the print format.
If this does not resolve, check the printer firmware information.

After leveling bed, add "ralf" while slicing the model
If still not work, please check, Check if the heat bed is bent in 3, Leveling bed
6.6 Filament not extruded
6.6.1 When the motor shaft of the extruder rotates, the engagement gear does not rotate, install the engagement gear fixing screw.
6.6.2 If the extruder does not work, switch the motor test, refer to the video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCjrieoyZ1c
6.6.3 If the distance between the hot end nozzle and the hot bed is too close, re-level it.
