  • Page 13: Frame

    FRAME In this chapter, the assembly of the frame of the Ultimaker Original+ is described. You will start preparing the panels, then you will assemble the frame and as a last step attach various parts to the frame.

  • Page 14: Preparing The Panels

    1. STICKERS Each Ultimaker Original+ kit has its own unique serial number. You find your Ultimaker Original+’s serial number on the box and on a sticker in the kit. Start by placing the serial number on the non-engraved side of the back panel. Fig. 1.
  • Page 15 2. BALL BEARINGS For this step you need the front, back, left and right panels and the 8 ball bearings (Fig. 2). Every panel has 2 corresponding holes. Take a panel, place the ball bearings on the corresponding holes and push them in. Make sure that they are inserted deep enough and do not stick out.
  • Page 16 3. LIMIT SWITCHES The limit switches are used to determine the 0 point of the print head and Z stage. They make sure that the print head stays within the limits of the frame and the build plate can be calibrated. For this step you need the front, left and back panels, the limit switches and the bolts and washers (Fig.
  • Page 17 Red wired limit switch To mount the red wired limit switch, perform the following actions: Take the left panel. 2. Place the red wired limit switch with the lever pointing downwards. 3. Push the limit switch towards the center of the panel as much as possible and attach with two M3x12 bolts. Fig 7. Black wired limit switch To attach the black wired limit switch, perform the following actions: Take the back panel.
  • Page 18 4. BOTTOM PANEL In this step you will place the Velcro parts that will be used later to organize the electronics. You need the bottom panel and the Velcro parts. Move 4 pieces black Velcro parts through the four sets of slots of the bottom panel. Fig. 10. 2.

  • Page 19: Assembling The Frame

    ASSEMBLING THE FRAME In the next steps you will put all the panels together and assemble the cube shaped frame. While assembling the frame, be careful not to put any force on the panels because they are weak in this configuration. However, when the frame is finished the structure is very strong.
  • Page 20 1. FIRST FOUR PANELS To assemble the frame, perform the following actions: Place the back panel on the table. Make sure the markings are facing towards you. 2. Put the top panel, with the markings downwards, into the back panel. Fig. 13. 3.
  • Page 21 2. CABLE DUCTS Before adding the right and left panel you will place the cable ducts. These keep the motor and limit switch wires out of the way for safety reasons. Right side Put the frame on its left side. 2.
  • Page 22 Left side Turn the frame over and put it on its right side. 2. Place the second short cable duct on the left side of the panel, fold it and tape it like you did with the cable duct on the right side.

  • Page 26 2. OTHER PARTS Take wooden part 11A and attach it to the outside of the back panel. Use two M3x16 bolts and two lock nuts, place the lock nuts on the outside of the frame. Fig. 36. 2. Take the two wooden parts 3B (4 mm) and place them on the top panel, over the holes. 3.

  • Page 27: X/Y Axles

    X/Y AXLES Once the frame is assembled, the X and Y axles can be put in the frame. Therefore you will first assemble the sliding blocks and attach the wooden caps to the frame. When this is done, the X and Y axles can be placed in the frame with pulleys, belts and sliding blocks around them.

  • Page 31: Attaching The Caps

    Hex nut The wooden caps have to be attached in four corners (A, B, C and D) of the Ultimaker Original+ (Fig. 51). They keep the axles in place. The wooden caps with hole will be placed on the inside, except for the places where the short motor belts pass over the bearings.
  • Page 32 To place the wooden caps, perform the following steps: In corner A, attach a wooden cap with hole and a wooden cap without hole to the front panel. Secure with two M3x16 bolts and two hex nuts. Fig. 52 and 53. 2.
  • Page 33 5. In corner C, attach a wooden cap with hole and a wooden cap without hole to the right panel. Secure loosely with only one M3x16 bolt and one hex nut. Fig. 58. 6. Attach only a wooden cap without hole to the back panel. Secure loosely with only one M3x16 bolt and one hex nut. Fig.

  • Page 41 To correctly prepare the base plate, perform the following actions: Place the aluminium plate in front of you, as shown on the pictures below. 2. Place the two linear bearings over the corresponding holes in the corners. Fig. 84. 3. Loosely secure them with four M4x10 bolts each, use the 2.5 mm hex key. Make sure that the bearings can still move a little bit, you will calibrate them later.
  • Page 42 2. PREPARING THE HEATED BED Before you can place the heated bed on the base plate, you need to attach some parts. You need the heated bed, the heated bed cable, two glass retainers, four small countersunk bolts (M3x8) and four lock nuts (Fig. 88).
  • Page 43 Perform the following actions: Place the two glass retainer clips on the back of the heated bed, with the wide side at the bottom (black) side. 2. Secure them with two countersunk bolts and two lock nuts each. Fig. 89. 3.
  • Page 44 3. PREPARING THE BED AND BASE PLATE Now that the base plate and bed have been prepared, you can connect them to finish the Z stage. You need three long countersunk bolts (M3x20), three springs, three knurled nuts, three large washers (M6), two more glass retainer clips, the heated bed cable clip and some copper grease (Fig.
  • Page 45 Perform the following actions: Take the M6 washers and apply some copper grease on the round side. Fig. 93. 2. Place the washers over the knurled nuts with the grease upwards. Fig. 94. 3. Put the knurled nuts through the three holes of the base plate, in the front, right and back middle. Fig. 95. 4.
  • Page 46 5. On the front two springs, place a glass retainer clip. Fig. 97. 6. Put the heated bed on top of the springs and secure with the three countersunk M3x20 bolts. Fig. 98 and 99. Tighten the bolt and knurled nut in the back until there is approximately 1 mm of space between the bed’s screw terminal and the aluminium base plate.
  • Page 47 4. Z STAGE CAP The Z stage cap will be placed over the back of the Z stage, to cover the bearings. You need the wooden parts, ten hex nuts, six M3x12 bolts and 4 M3x14 bolts (Fig. 103).
  • Page 48 4. Place six hex nuts in the slots at the sides and attach the wooden left and right parts with six M3x12 bolts. Fig. 106 and 107. Make sure the part with the extra tab at the top is placed on the left side (towards the U of Ultimaker). This tab will activate the Z limit switch.
