The shorter 485 cable (c) is used to connect the CFS and the buffer, The longer (d) is used to connect the CFS and the printer. Connecting a Single CFS Multi-color Box to the Creality K2 Plus 1. Install the filament buffer on the two holes reserved on the back of the printer and tighten it with two buffer screws; pay attention to the direction of the buffer, do not install it a wrong direction, and ensure that the four air pipes are facing correctly.

2. Connect the Teflon tube (longer a) on the right side of the buffer to the CFS hub pneumatic interface, where the filament will enter the buffer.

3. Connect the Teflon tube (shorter b) to the printer's pneumatic interface on the left side of the buffer, where the filament will enter the nozzle.

4. Connect the 485 cable (short line) to the port on the top of the buffer to connect the buffer

Connect CFS and buffer : Note that the elbow is inserted into the buffer position c, and the straight head is inserted intothe CFS position d;

5. Connect the 485 cable (long wire) to the port on the lower part of the backplane to connect the K2 Plus printer

Connect CFS and K2 Plus: Both ends of this line are 6-pinstraight heads, one end is inserted into the CFS position e, and the other end is inserted into the machine interface position f.

6. Multi-color filament Settings appear on the print home page, that is, the Settings are successful

Connecting Multiple CFS Multi-color Boxes to the Creality K2 Plus Note: A buffer can only support 4 CFS, that is, 16 colors

1. Insert all CFS tubes into the pneumatic interface of the buffer
