  • Page 29 <1> Picture 2.7f Picture 2.7g Lay the ribs of the belt in the tension lock. Lock the ribs to the slots just like the other side (picture 2.7h). Slide the lock down and secure the two screws. Now slowly slide the X-axis back and forth making sure the belt is moving freely around the motor and pulley and in the guide block (picture 2.7i).
  • Page 30 We need to run all the wiring for the control panel now before we install the front and top panels. <1> First, we need to bundle the top wires together and install an anti-chafe loom (spiral cut cable loom) around them. Find the following accessories from: Box G Zip tie...
  • Page 31 Attach a few zip ties to hold them together and install the anti-chafe loom by wrapping the wires (pictures 2.8d and 2.8e) <1> Picture 2.8d Picture 2.8e Cut the anti-chafe loom 5 inches from the end of the wires. Now move the extrusion head to the front left position and lay the wire in the back panel slot, making an “L”...
  • Page 32 Feed the loom in the bottom slot and guide it around the back right rod and tuck it under the lower plate support (picture 2.8i) and bring it out the front. <1> Picture 2.8i Now slide the print head to the back and locate the sensor wire on the left side (picture 2.8j).
  • Page 33 Next unbundle the wires from the bottom of the print hot plate and feed them through the most bottom right back cutout and bring them down and towards the front (pictures 2.8n <1> and 2.8o) Picture 2.8n Picture 2.8o Now tighten the zip ties and tidy the wires up, making sure none of the wires bind or get pinched and all come out the front (picture 2.8p).
  • Page 34 It’s now time to install the front panel. Locate and slide in the front panel with the plastic parts facing toward the inside (picture 2.9a). <1> These plastic parts facing toward the inside of 3D printer INNER SIDE Picture 2.9a <1>...

  • Page 36 Next we need to install the “Y” axis belts and adjust them to each other. <3> Picture 2.9c, 2.9d First, we need to loosen the set screws on the flex collars to free the shaft from each other. Do not remove the screws. Just loosen them so the collar can rotate independently from the motor shaft (pictures 2.9c and 2.9d) Picture 2.9c Picture 2.9d...
  • Page 37 <3> Picture 2.9h Picture 2.9e ~ 2.9j Locate the two shorter belts (ETP0111). This step will be a lot like the belt installed on the X-axis. First turn the adjusting screw so the belt tension block is toward the back (picture 2.9e).
  • Page 38 Remove the tensioning belt block and lightly pulling on the belt, mesh the teeth with the block and reinstall the block onto the tensioning screw (picture 2.9i). <3> Now slide the gantry towards the front making it easier to get to adjusting screw (picture 2.9j). Adjust the tension on the belt as before till there is a light tension when twisting.
  • Page 39 Now that both belts are installed slide the gantry front to rear a few times and adjust two belts to match the looser of the two belt tension. Once done slide the gantry to approximately <3> the center, having the two set screws on the flex collars we loosened before facing up so we can get to them easier.
  • Page 40 2.10 We are ready to install the top panel, there is a small hole on one of the sides near the center cut out. This hole goes to the right side (see picture 2.10a for reference). <1> Find the following accessories from: Find the following accessories from: Box G Box D...
  • Page 41 2.10 The next step is to secure the extruder wiring harness to the top panel using a zip tie. <2> Move the extruder to the front left position and then slip a zip tie in the right hole and secure up the wiring harness (pictures 2.10c and 2.10d). This creates enough slack in the wiring harness to move around as well as keeping clear of moving parts.
  • Page 42 2.10 <3> Picture 2.10g Picture 2.10h The Spool drum slips on to the axle and sets into the two upright supports we just installed (picture 2.10i). Filament roll (Sold separately) Picture 2.10i...
  • Page 43 2.11 We are almost done with assembly! It’s time we wire up the control panel. Referring to the diagrams we need to plug in the related cables, making sure to match the labels to position <1> and color to direction. This may look like a lot, but it’s really simple and we will do it in groups one by one for a simple pain-free assembly (picture 2.11a).
  • Page 44 2.11 Now it’s time for the stepper motors, these are labeled X, Y, Z, E0 for the given axis and extruder. Note the color wire position when plugging in the 4 motors (picture 2.11d). <1> Picture 2.11d Picture 2.11e We are going to move to the terminal blocks start by turning the screws on blocks (picture 2.11e) D10, D9, D8 counterclockwise to open up the wire terminal.
  • Page 45 2.11 Now to block D9, this is the cooling fan output that is controlled by the G code to aid some types of plastics in the printing process. We need to strip the wires back 7mm just like <1> before and install them the same way. But there are two sets of wires, one for the front and one rear fan on the extruder and we need to pay attention to the color: “Red is positive and Black is negative”.
  • Page 46 2.11 Great all that is left is to plug the DC power plug into the board and install the board cooling fan wires (picture 2.11l). Strip back the fan wires 7mm, be careful as these wires <2> are small (picture 2.11m). Board cooling fan wires Picture 2.11l Picture 2.11m...
  • Page 47 2.11 Now we need to attach the front control panel to the printer and tidy up the wiring. <3> Find the following accessories from: Box G SCW0039 (TM3x8) Zip tie Install the 4pcs SCW0143 screws in the front panel, leaving them slightly loose (picture 2.11q). 2.5mm hex driver Picture 2.11q...

Once done, tighten the 4 outer screws we previously installed . 2.0mm hex driver SCW0039...
  • Page 49 2.11 Congratulations, your 3D printer is now assembled. We still need to level the print bed and check the functionality. This will be covered in the setup guide. <3>...
  • Page 50 Operational checks and preprint setup This section will guide you through the process of operations checks and preprint setup...
  • Page 51 Now that the printer is built we need to perform an operational check of the sensors and motors and other components, then a Preprint setup. <1> First manually move the extrusion head to the approximate center of the print platform (picture 3.1a).
  • Page 52 The first check is to look at the position sensors (total 6 sensors) to make sure they have a red LED light on (pictures 3.1e ~ 3.1i). <1> Picture 3.1e Picture 3.1f (Right panel) (Right panel) Picture 3.1g Picture 3.1h (Back panel) (Gantry’s right block) Picture 3.1i...
  • Page 53 Next we need to check the motors for proper direction. Using the auto home feature, but first on the back of the printer we need to set the Z axis top sensor to the lowest setting. <1> Do this by turning the knob counterclockwise till it stops (picture 3.2a). Picture 3.2a Auto Home position check 1) Rotary (for + / - or navigate)
  • Page 54 Now the 3D Printer is homed and knows its position relative to the print bed. <2> Next we need to level the print bed to the extrusion head. To do this we need to manually set the bed level and adjust the rear sensor followed by manual adjustment. We need to enter the menu and lower the print bed so we can set its level.
  • Page 55 You will need two business cards (or cards or about the same thickness) for this procedure. We will use this to measure the distance from the print bed to the extruder nozzle and set <3> the height. Set the 2 business cards on top of each other on the glass print surface under the nozzle. The procedure is as follow: - Turn the knob clockwise “one hour”...
  • Page 56 Now we need to check the temperature sensors and heaters we are going to perform a preheat to make sure the sensors and heaters are working ok. <3> Turn on the 3D printer and look at the screen. The top line shows the extruder temperature on the left and the heating bed on the right.
  • Page 57 Now we need to load filament. PLA is recommended for new users. The 3D printer uses 1.75 filament and is a top load system. <1> Lift off the spool axle and drum, unthread the drum end cap and slide your filament spool onto the drum and replace the axle (picture 3.3a).
  • Page 58 Perform a preheat as the extruder will need to be hot to load the filament. Now cut off about 3 inches of the filament, removing any bends or kinks and insert the filament into <2> the extruder (picture 3.3c). You will need to push the filament past the roller, it will take a little pressure for it to compress the tension spring and this is normal.
