Page 2: Window Assembly
Window Assembly Windows are secured to frames with SA18 hardware. Peel the protective paper off the acrylic windows before proceeding. Windows are placed on the inside of the frames. - Page 3 Do not over tighten the nylon nuts. Note the orientation of the top window with clearance "notch" toward the handle screw holes.
- Page 4 Windows installation finished.
- Page 5 Hatch Handle Installation...
- Page 6 Handle secured with screws.
- Page 7 Attaching Hinge to XA Assembly...
- Page 9 Attaching Left Side Frame & Foot ("printer's left" side) Note that four sets of the SA15 hardware were used in the last procedure. The remaining four sets will be used now, two on the left side and two on the right. The SA15 screws are slightly longer than the SA17 and are used where we need to attach 3 layers of aluminum parts (vs only 2 layers for the shorter SA17 screws).
- Page 10 Held in place with one SA17 (do not fully tighten until all screws are started). Note alignment of the power input jack and Arduino USB port.
- Page 11 Attached with three sets of SA17 and two sets of SA15. Securely tighten all screws before finishing. Attach foot with two SA17 screws, tighten securely.
- Page 12 Attaching Right Side Frame & Foot Similar to left side but without power & USB ports.
- Page 13 Both sides attached.
- Page 14 Attaching Hatch to Hinge Attached Hatch, note hinge flap on inside lip of hatch.
- Page 15 Attaching Self Adhesive Magnetic Hatch Strips There are four magnetic strips, place two together with adhesive sides "out". Trim length with scissors if needed. Remove protective paper from lower strips and affix to top lip of ZA as shown. Remove protective paper from top strips. Carefully close hatch to correct position and press in place.
- Page 16 Hatch closed. Top magnetic strips now adhered to hatch.
- Page 17 Attaching Self Adhesive Hatch Cushion Pads Peel each off of protective paper. Attach to inside front of hatch.
- Page 18 Hatch in closed position with cushions and magnetic strips. The purpose of the hatch and windows is to block higher frequency light (blue and above) from curing the resin. Red and lower frequency light will not cure the resin. It also acts as a dust cover.
- Page 19 Attaching Self Adhesive Wall Standoff Pads Peel each of the six pads off and affix them to the back of unit as shown below. The Pad's purpose is to cushion the unit if mounted to a wall.
- Page 20 Sweeper Assembly & Attachment Note there are "back" and "front" brackets. In the above photo the "back" is the one on left and the "front" is the one on the right. Sweeper with flap installed and rubber wiper edge in place. Gravity holds the flap in place, it can be removed for easy cleaning after a print.
- Page 21 Back bracket spring assembly finished.
- Page 22 Front and Back brackets completed. Preparing to attach the Back Bracket using the slide track screw. Note the washer (not shown) goes on top of the bracket.
- Page 23 Back Bracket attached and secured with hex wrench. Do not over tighten.
- Page 24 Repeat the procedure for Front Bracket. Use the hex wrench to final tighten all 8 screws. They should be secure, but do not over tighten. Detail of sweeper in place.
- Page 25 Detail of sweeper held in place under spring tension. Use the diamond shaped "handle" to easily hook/unhook the spring ring onto the sweeper hooks (front and back). Note that sweeper should only be installed when there is resin in the Vat. The resin acts as a lubricant between the PVC wiper and the PDMS coating on the bottom of the VAT.
- Page 26 Removable Build Table Use the longer of the three thumb screws to attach the build table to the Z Axis support arm (old v1.0 arm shown). The remaining two (shorter) thumbscrews are used to attach the VAT to red VAT sliding mount.
