OHAI: Open Hardware Assembly Instructions

1 Remove Bed from Pro XT

Place the calibrated TAZ Pro XT on the packaging table. Then loosen the screw that is holding the Y cable holder in place.

Once the Y cable holder is free from the bed use a cable tie [HD-MS0058] to loosely secure the three bed wires. Make sure to keep the cable tie loose, it is just to keep the wires together. Then disconnect the three wires.

Before removing the thumbscrews make sure the screws that are holding the bed mount chassis and table are both tight. Repeat for the other corners.

Then remove the four thumb screws to free the bed and place them in the four holes in the table so they don't get lost.

Disconnect the Y motor harness and then lift the bed off the chassis and set it next to the printer,

2 Prepare Pro XT for Packaging

Thread the thumb screws back into the bed mount chassis parts. These don't need to be fastened all the way just enough to say in place. Make sure all four bed mounts have a thumb screw.

Then take the green flexy tether and place it over the thumb screws. Make sure the tether is seated inside the groove on the thumb screw.

Now loosen the screw inside the Y chain pivot mount, once it loose pull on the cable chain and rotate it so that is vertical. Make sure the cable chain bends over and rests on top of the extrusion to protect the wires.

Thread the thumb screw back into the bed mount

Repeat for the other three bed mounts and place the green tethers around the thumb screws

8 Prepare Cardboard Sleeve and Bottom Foam

Place the TAZ Pro/WE, corrugated sleeve [SH-PA0063] on the packing table and bend one side down make sure its along one of the creases.
Note: There should be one creases left on the table.

Then align the sides of the sleeve with the two red marks on the table, then place the bottom endcap foam [SH-PA0061] on top of the sleeve. Make sure to have the control box side on the left.

Then align the right side of the foam with the edge of the table.

Place the corrugated sleeve on the table with one end hanging off the table

Fold the sleeve and align the sides with the two red marks

Place the bottom foam over the sleeve with the control box side on the left

Make sure the right end of the foam aligns with the end of the table

9 Place Printer in Foam

Place the printer chassis inside the foam making sure the control box aligns with the square cutout in the foam on the left side. Make sure none of the wires are under the printer chassis.

Then align the motor side of the bed with the foam and press it into the foam. It is easiest when the build plate is against the idler end so you can see the motor and foam.

Once the motor end plate is secure then slide the build plate down and push it into the foam. You may have to move the foam around to press the build plate into it.

Place printer chassis inside the foam

Align the motor end of the bed with the foam

Push the build plate into the foam

10 Secure Bed to Printer Chassis

Follow the cross-sectional view of the printer and bed to secure the bed to the printer chassis.

Start by placing the print head stabilizer foam [SH-PA0068] around the frame of the bed securing the build plate inside the bottom foam.

Then place another print head stabilizer foam piece above the first piece, this one should be pointing the other direction (helps keep the bed stabilized in the box).

Now place another print head stabilizer foam piece above the second piece, make sure its facing the same direction as the first piece.

Take a section of the black poly strapping [SH-PG0080] and wrap it around the bed and the printer chassis. Make sure to go between the extrusions and wire harnesses on the backside of the printer.

The strapping should be long enough to go around the bed and chassis with a section that is overlapped, make sure the overlapped section is above the build plate.

Then align the strap with the middle of the bed and use the Orgapack automatic strapping tool. Don't over tighten this scrapping, it just needs to keep the bed in place.

To use the tool follow these steps:

Pull the handle and place the over lapping strap inside the channel that opened
Press and hold the button that has a 1 on it until strap is at desired tension
Press and hold the button with a 2 until the excess strap is cut off
Pull the handle and remove sealed strap from the channel

11 Place Shipping Parts and Top Foam

Slide the tool head al the way to the left side of the X axis, then place the top endcap foam [SH-PA0060] on the top of the chassis making sure it aligns with the bottom foam. You may need to move the X axis to get the foam on

Now use 3x shipping belt cams [PP-GP0635] and place them on the X axis, left Z axis and right Z axis.

To place these parts slide the two top pegs around the belt. While keeping the two top pegs around the belt, twist the belt cam clockwise and slide the bottom peg behind the belt and place it on the other side of the belt.

Repeat for the X axis and left Z axis.

Slide the tool head to the far left side of the X axis

Place the top endcap foam over the top of the printer chassis

12 Pack Tool Kit, Document Bag, and Power Cords

Place the NA power cord [EL-CA0030] inside the slot to the left of the large slot in the top endcap foam.

Now place the Pro XT tool kit inside the large slot in the top endcap foam.

Then place the USB 2.0 A/B cable [EL-CA0063] inside the slot to the right of the large slot in the top endcap foam.

Place materials inside the top endcap foam

13 Secure Cardboard Sleeves around Printer

Place a cardboard sleeve [SH-PA0063] over the printer, then fold the two tabs on the bottom sleeve under the top sleeve.

Then make sure the bottom sleeve is aligned with the two red marks on the top of the table and that the bottom foam is aligned with the right edge of the table.

Now cut the black poly strapping [SH-PG0080] to the XT length you will need two of these. The tool kit tables will have the markings on them.

Once the straps are cut slide them under the bottom sleeve by the two middle red marks on the side of the table.

Starting with one strap wrap it around the printer and have the over lapping section in the middle of the front side. Use the Orgapack auto strapping tool to tighten, seal and cut the strapping. Don't over tighten, stop when the strap is sinking into the cardboard.

Repeat for the second strap, while tightening this one watch the edges of the sleeve and try to align them.
