Install two (2) control box mounts to the rear side of the control box using one (1) M5X10 BHCS and one (1) M5 black washer per mount. Torque to 10in-lbs.
Insert two (2) M5 T-nuts into the back left Z frame extrusion inside slot from the bottom, hold the T-nuts in place with a device such as a T-Nut holder
Mount the control box to the left side of the Z left frame by guiding the control box (with the two rear control box mounts that are already attached) onto the back left frame extrusion so that the mounts go over the extrusion and the control box sits flat against the frame
Install two (2) control box mounts using an one (1) each M5X10 BHCS and M5 black washer onto the front left extrusion M5 T-nuts
Position the control box flush against the frame left side and so it is fully supported by it's own feet and not distorting the Z frame.
Attach the control box mounts to the case (front two mounts) and to the extrusion (back two mounts), tighten the eight (8) M5X10 BHCS to 10in-lbs.
Install four (4) Y chassis mounts onto the front (2) and back (2) lower extrusions (top slot), tapered side oriented toward the outsides of the frame using four (4) M5x10 BHCS and four (4) M5 black washers (they attach to the captured T-Nuts free floating in the extrusion), leave screws loose until later in the assembly.
Slide the left Y chassis mounts out to the left side of the frame, right side mounts toward the right side of the frame
Set the Y axis assembly (motor side toward the back of the frame) down onto the Z axis assembly approximately in the middle of the frame both front-to-back and side-to-side
Slide the left Y chassis mounts in against the left and right sides of the Y axis assembly extrusions
Line up the Y assembly mounts and Frame mounts. Loosely install the four (4) M5 Thumb screws (we will tighten these later)
Set Y axis location fixtures into the frame extrusion top slots of the Y axis assembly nearest the motor (both sides of the motor) and into the top slot of the frame (front and back extrusion) to the left of the Y axis assembly
(Outside of Lulzbot manufacturing the Y axis assembly can be positioned by measuring 136mm from the edge of the aluminum extrusions to the edge Y chassis mounts, and 110mm from the edge of the Y corners to the edge of the table mounts).
Slide the mounts tight to the fixtures and the extrusions tight to the mounts at each fixture.
Secure the Y chassis mount M5 BHCS to the extrusion to 10in-lbs, then secure the table mounts (these are attached to the Y axis assembly) M5 BHCS to 10in-lbs.
Push the opposite side of the table's Y chassis mounts firmly against the extrusions and tighten the mounts to hand tight;
Push the opposite side table mounts firmly against the extrusions and tighten the mounts to 10in-lbs.
There should be NO space between the struts or mounts. Tighten the thumb screws.
Place the extruder harness into the X carriage as shown and secure with a tie wrap and trim with flush cutters. Make sure to leave about 15mm of the harness on the x carriage.
Take the right Z motor harness and plug it into the left Z motor as shown.
Plug the Y harness into the Y motor as shown.
Plug the Right Z motor into the right Z motor as shown.
Take the X carriage harness and plug the yellow pair of wires and install them on the Z max switch making sure to use the outside pins on the switch.
Plug in the X motor.
Take the white pair of wires and install them onto the outside pins of the X min switch.
Connect the bed harness and push the harness into the clip as shown.
Use tie wraps in the following steps to secure the harnesses as shown. Make sure to keep a nice radius at each bend in the harnesses.
Leaving a nice radius to the extruder harness, secure the harness to the corner bracket.
Secure the rest of the harness to the backside of the frame 155mm from the edge of the left top drive by measure or using a jig as shown.
Secure the two Z, and the Y motor harness to the lower corner bracket.
Tie wrap the Z and Y harnesses to the lower rear extrusion leaving a fingers width of space between the tie wrap and the mount.
Tie wrap the Y harnesses to the lower rear extrusion leaving a fingers width of space between the tie wrap and the mount.
Tie wrap the Z harnesses to the lower rear extrusion leaving a fingers width of space between the tie wrap and the mount.
There should be a nice liberal radius at each turn in the harnesses to prevent premature wear and motor disconnections.
Cut the excess of the tie wraps using flush cutters.
Install the tool head on the X carriage making sure to put the bottom of the mount into the guide at the bottom of the carriage. Secure with an M3X12SHCS tighten finger tight.
Plug in the tool head. Make sure the the sides with the missing pin position are on the same side.
Install the spool arm as shown using one M5X12 SCHS and an M5 black washer . Tighten hand tight.
Install the feed tube spinner as shown.
Align the print bed assembly onto the bed plate orienting the print bed assembly wiring with the Z switch mount
Align the four edges of the bed assembly with the four bed corner supports ensuring the bed is sitting within the 90degree notch in the corner
Secure each of the two M3 screws that are holding each of the bed corners to finger tight
Secure the Z switch mount to the bed plate by tightening the two screws to hand tight, the M3 SS FHS has a M3 nut, this nut must be tight as well once the screw has been secured
Tighten the wiper mount M3 screws to 5in-lbs
Install a bed leveling washer onto each of the four corners, secure the washers to the bed with one (1) stainless M3X14 FHCS per washer tightened to 5in-lbs.
