⬢Third layer includes the majority of the parts for this chapter. Some parts will be used in the next.

⬢Fourth layer hides a cover, which has to be used in this chapter. To get access to the cover, you have to first remove the middle part of the fourth layer.

⬢Tower sheet left (1x)

⬢M3x5 screw (3x)

⬢Rotate the printer like in the picture, with the back plate facing towards you.

⬢Focus on the right side and find three holes, which will be used to mount the sheet.

⬢Now, the tricky part :) Take the left tower sheet (with the hole and nut) and place it on the printer.

⬢Use the M3x5 screws to fix it to the tower.

Use the hole in the lower part of the sheet for easier access to the screw.

⬢Finish fixing the sheet to the tilt (horizontal part) using the M3x5 screw.

⬢Covercheck top SL1 (1x)

⬢Covercheck bottom SL1 (1x)

⬢Thermistor (1x)

⬢Lid safety switch (1x)

⬢M3x5 screw (1x)

⬢Zip tie (3x)

Don't worry about recognising which printed part is top and which bottom, it will be clear from the next step.

⬢Let's start with the thermistor, take the covercheck top and insert the thermistor in. The cable channel is only in this top part.

⬢For easier assembly let's assume that the bottom side is marked with the red colour.

⬢Guide the cable using the channel and make sure it is entirely inside. If not, you might pinch it after adding the opposite printed part.

⬢About 80 % of the thermistor's tip should be outside the printed part to measure the temperature properly.

⬢Now, insert the lid safety switch. Insert it from the same side as the thermistor. In other words, both sensors will have cables on the same side of the printed part. Also, ensure that the cables are closer to the lower edge of the printed part.

⬢Finish the assembly using the second printed part. This time it is the covercheck bottom. Ensure no wire is pinched or bent!!!

⬢Assemble the covercheck onto the left tower sheet. Use the following tips:

⬢Secure the covercheck assembly using the M3x5 screw.

⬢Guide the cable down through the hole in the printer. Don't pull the cable, leave it hanging.

⬢Check the three perforations in the steel sheet we will use them in the next step for cable management.

⬢Slide the first zip tie in the perforation and create a loop around the cables.

⬢Tighten the zip tie, but just slightly. The cables might break if you use too much force. Cut the remaining part using the pliers.

⬢Apply the same procedure on the remaining two perforations.

No need to stretch the cable, leave it hanging down.

⬢Rotate the printer like in the picture, with the back plate facing towards you.

⬢Focus on the left side and find three holes, which will be used to mount the sheet.

⬢Take the remaining (right tower) sheet and place it on the printer.

⬢Use the M3x5 screws to fix it to the tower.

Use the hole in the lower part of the sheet for easier access to the screw.

⬢Finish fixing the sheet to the tilt (horizontal part) using the M3x5 screw.

⬢M3x5 screw (2x)

⬢M3x10b countersunk screw (4x)

⬢Cleaning pad

The list continues in the next step...

⬢Filter fan (1x)

⬢Filter housing (1x)

⬢Filtration cover (1x)

⬢Filter (1x) Remove the plastic film, but don't tear the paper cover.

⬢Filter housing lid (1x)

⬢Filter gasket (1x)

⬢Filter fan gasket (1x)

⬢Align the fan on "columns" of the filtration cover with the sticker fan casing facing down.

⬢Make sure the cable is on the lower-left corner, see the picture.

⬢Press the fan all the way down. Use a reasonable force, the case is made from plastic.

⬢Compare the size of the filter gasket with the filter housing. It is not a square!

⬢Use the cleaning pad to remove grease from the housing. Avoid touching this surface. Keep the pad for later use.

⬢Peel the protective film from the filter gasket, leave the circular part in the middle untouched.

⬢Glue the gasket on the housing. Press it firmly all around the housing.

In case you will damage the gasket during the installation, there is spare one in the spare bag ;)

⬢Using an Allen key, carefully punch through all four holes in the corners. Make sure you have removed the circular cutouts of the gasket.

⬢Carefully press the circular part in the middle to lift off the edge.

⬢Hold the outer part of the gasket and very gently tear the middle (circular part) off.

⬢Place the housing on the fan. See the photo for the correct orientation.

⬢Secure the housing using M3x10b countersunk screws. TIGHTEN the screws only SLIGHTLY to ensure both parts are properly connected but don't over-tighten as you might squish the gasket between them.

Squished gasket might interfere with the blades of the fan. In such case remove the gasket and replace it with the spare one. This time tighten the screws slightly less than before.

⬢Wipe the inner surface of the housing. Avoid touching this surface.

⬢Compare the size of the filter fan gasket with the filter housing. It is not a square!

⬢Remove the square part in the middle. Peel the protective film from the filter fan gasket.

⬢Glue the gasket inside the housing. Press it firmly all around the housing.

⬢Slide the filter in, see the marks on the side. If the filter is packed in a thin plastic film, remove it first.

⬢See the opening for the filter housing lid.

⬢Slide the lid in.

⬢Push the lid carefully down to close it.

⬢Secure it using two M3x5 screws. Make sure the lid and the housing are in contact.

⬢Filtration hinge (1x)

⬢M3nN nut (2x)

⬢M3w washer (2x)

⬢M3x5b countersunk screw (6x)

⬢Cable cover (1x)

⬢Rear cover (1x)

⬢Slide the filtration hinge in the cover.

⬢Place the washers on both fixed screws.

⬢Insert M3nN nuts, but tighten them slightly. The sheet must be able to move.

⬢Slide/swing the filtration assembly in. Between the hinge and the cover. The best way is from the inside of the rear cover.

⬢Orient the filtration assembly like in the picture. Make sure it fits properly all around.

⬢Turn the cover, use two M3x5b countersunk screws. Tighten firmly.

⬢Align the assembly, tighten the nuts.

⬢Slide the cable from the assembly in the printer.

⬢Use the printed cover, slide all the cables in one by one. Be careful, don't push them too hard in the cover or you might pinch them.

⬢For each cable leave a small slack inside the cover. Don't stretch them, they are long enough to reach their sockets in the electronics.

⬢Push the printed cover down.

⬢Slide the rear cover on the printer. Ensure no wire is pinched!

⬢Align the cover, make sure the holes in the cover match the holes in the left/right tower sheets.

⬢Secure it with M3x5b countersunk screws on both sides.

⬢Pay attention to the correct orientation of the parts, before you use the screws to connect them together.

⬢Make sure the edges of both parts are aligned. In this plane, the part can be rotated 180 ° (its orientation doesn't matter).

⬢Secure both parts using M4x10 screws.

⬢Eccentric (1x)

⬢Knob body SL1 (1x)

⬢Knob cover SL1 (1x)

⬢M8x45 screw (1x)

⬢M4x25 screw (2x)

⬢M4x8 screw (2x)

⬢Look from below the cantilever, check the two holes for the screws.

⬢Insert the eccentric and hold it.

⬢Use two M4x8 screws to secure it. The eccentric will be still able to wobble, but won't fall down.

⬢We will tighten the screw(s) in the cantilever later on during the calibration process.

⬢Slide the M8x45 screw in the printed part. The top surface of the screw should be flush with the surface of the printed part.

⬢Close the assembly using the cover. Make sure both parts are aligned. If not, the screw isn't properly seated inside.

⬢Screw slightly the "knob" assembly in the printer.

⬢Slide the platform on the eccentric, if it doesn't fit, rotate the eccentric.

⬢Tighten the knob and ensure the platform holds.

Since the screw(s) in the cantilever isn't/aren't tightened, the eccentric might wobble, but that is ok for now.

⬢Compare the look of the assembly with the pictures.

⬢WARNING: for safety reasons, release the knob and remove the platform. Make sure the platform is placed on a soft surface.

⬢Ready? Let's build the upper part of the printer 4. Electronics & Lid
