13 | 1. Assemble the Y axis (part 1) |
14 | ||
15 | 1.1 Gather the following parts | |
16 | ||
17 | a. The two M10 threaded rods | |
18 | b. The Y axis smooth rods | |
19 | c. The plastic Y end pieces (2) | |
20 | d. The two plastic frame brace supports | |
21 | e. 12 M10 nuts and washers | |
22 | f. Four linear bearings (LM8UU) | |
23 | ||
24 | 1.2 Hardware Assembly | |
25 | ||
26 | * Slide a brace support onto each threaded rod. On each side of the | |
27 | supports, put a washer, a nut, another nut and another washer (in | |
28 | that order). | |
29 | * Next, slide two two Y end pieces over the ends of the threaded rods. | |
30 | Place a washer then nut on each end. | |
31 | ||
32 | 1.3 Tightening the Y axis | |
33 | ||
34 | * Start at one end (either Y motor or Y idler end) and tighten the two | |
35 | nuts against the end so that the threaded rod is flush with the outside | |
36 | of the nut. Tighten both sides of the first end while everything else | |
37 | is loose along the threaded rods. Use two wrenches to tighten the nuts | |
38 | against the end until snug (tight, but don't compress enough to deform | |
39 | or break the plastic). | |
40 | * Place two linear bearings on each Y axis smooth rod. | |
41 | * Next, with the other Y end still loosely attached, place the two Y axis | |
42 | smooth rods across the top and fit into the grooves along the top of | |
43 | the ends. | |
44 | * Press down on the corners (not in the middle of the rods!) to seat the | |
45 | rods into the Y ends. | |
46 | * Tighten one corner of the remaining end. | |
47 | * Now take a moment to measure with a ruler between the end posts of the | |
48 | tightened side. (355mm for reference). | |
49 | * Flip the assembly around and repeat the measurement as you tighten the | |
50 | remaining corner (tighten it just a little first, then measure. If the | |
51 | distance is a little less than the first side, tighten the inner nut | |
52 | outward toward the outer nut, if the distance is a little more than the | |
53 | first side, then tighten the outer nut toward the inner one. Try to get | |
54 | the two sides as close to the same distance as possible. This will help | |
55 | ensure your y axis bearings don't experience any binding forces). | |
56 | * Repeat the measurement on the first side and check that all corners are | |
57 | nice and snug. Take your time on this step, it may require a couple | |
58 | iterations to get the axis square. | |
59 | ||
60 | 1.4 Prep the Print Bed | |
61 | ||
4671e961 MR |
62 | While the Y axis assembly is free, it is a good time to prepare the print |
63 | bed which you will attach later. | |
a18275e3 MR |
64 | |
65 | Gather the following materials | |
66 | ||
67 | a. The Y axis assembly you just completed | |
68 | b. The wood print bed support | |
69 | c. The heat bed | |
70 | d. The four linear bearing holders | |
71 | e. Eight miniature zip ties | |
72 | ||
a18275e3 MR |
73 | * Place the heat bed circuitboard over the wood bed and mark the four |
74 | corner locations with a pencil. | |
75 | * Put the heat bed circuitboard aside and place the four linear bearing | |
76 | holders over the linear bearings along the Y axis rods. | |
77 | * Turn the Y axis assembly over so that the smooth rods (and bearing | |
78 | holders) are against the wood print bed surface. | |
79 | * Align the front edge of the two bearing holders nearest the Y end idler | |
80 | with a line that is 80mm from the front edge of the bed. | |
81 | * Align the back edge of the two bearing holders nearest the Y end motor | |
82 | mount with a line that is approx 10mm from the back edge of the bed. | |
83 | * Mark all the holes for the bearing holders with a pencil. | |
84 | * Remove the wood print bed and drill all the holes you marked with a 5mm | |
4671e961 MR |
85 | drill bit. (You want the holes a little over-sized so that there is |
86 | some room for the screws to "float" when you attach the bed). | |
87 | * Attach the linear bearing holders to the Y axis linear bearings with | |
88 | zip ties. | |
a18275e3 MR |
89 | |
90 | Set the prepared wood print bed aside. | |
91 | ||
92 | 2. Assemble the Frame (part 1) | |
93 | ||
94 | 2.1 Gather the following parts | |
95 | ||
96 | a. The two side pieces of 2020 aluminum extrusion (the longer ones, | |
97 | generally) | |
98 | b. One of the two horizontal pieces of 2020 aluminum extrusion (the | |
99 | shorter ones, generally) | |
0e6f3a43 | 100 | c. 22 T-slot nuts |
a18275e3 MR |
101 | d. 14 M5 x 8mm screws |
102 | e. The plastic Z motor holders (2) | |
103 | f. The plastic rear frame brackets (2) | |
104 | ||
105 | 2.2 Hardware Assembly | |
106 | ||
107 | * Slide 6 T-nuts into one side of the shorter extrusion (this wlll be the | |
108 | bottom piece of the frame). | |
109 | * Turn the extrusion over (being careful not to let the nuts slide out | |
110 | that you just put in) and slide 8 more nuts into the opposite side that | |
111 | you begain with. | |
112 | * Place the two remaining extrusions to the sides of the first, and slide | |
113 | two T nuts into each on the side facing up. | |
114 | * Get the two corner braces and place one over each corner. Line up the | |
115 | two nuts on each extrusion and attach the braces with a total of 8 M5 | |
116 | screws. Note that the longer extrusions (the "sides" of the frame) | |
117 | should cover the ends of the bottom extrusion piece. Leave the screws | |
35a217c6 MR |
118 | loose until all 8 are started. |
119 | * Stand the frame "upright" to ensure the sides are slid down flush with | |
120 | the bottom and alternately tighten until all the screws are tight. | |
a18275e3 MR |
121 | * Rotate the frame so the other side is facing you and put it back flat |
122 | on your work surface. | |
123 | * Slide two more T nuts into each side piece and attach the motor mounts | |
124 | the same way you did the rear brackets, using 6 more M5 screws. | |
125 | * You should have four T nuts sliding around between the lower corners, | |
126 | which will be used to attach the Y axis to the frame in the next step. | |
127 | ||
e4f0f362 | 128 | |
a18275e3 MR |
129 | 3. Mount the Y axis to the frame |
130 | ||
131 | 3.1 The following parts are used during this step: | |
132 | ||
133 | a. The partially-assembled Y axis from step 1. | |
134 | b. The partially assembled frame from step 2. | |
135 | c. Eight M5 x 8mm screws | |
136 | ||
137 | 3.2 Mounting the Y axis | |
138 | ||
139 | * Place the Y axis over the frame so that the Y motor end is toward the | |
140 | rear, and the Z motor brackets are toward the front. | |
141 | * Slide the Y axis along the threaded rods so that there is ** 135mm ** | |
142 | from the Y motor end and the frame braces | |
143 | * Tighten the nuts on the first side finger-tight against the frame brace | |
144 | then turn the assembly around and repeat on the other side. Measure a | |
145 | couple times to make sure the distance from the y motor end to the frame | |
146 | braces is the same on each corner. Next slide the Y axis assembly left | |
147 | or right along the lower frame extrusion so that there is ** 50mm ** | |
148 | from the upright extrusion to the inner edge of the frame brace on the | |
149 | "left" side of the printer (as viewed with the Y axis idler toward you). | |
150 | * Tighten the frame braces using 8 M5 screws into the T slot nuts that | |
151 | are alread in the lower frame extrusion. Finish tightening the nuts of | |
152 | the threaded rod against the braces, double-checking that the distance | |
153 | from the Y end to the braces is the same on each side. A convenient | |
154 | place to measure this after the nuts are snug is from the inside of the | |
155 | nuts (approx 116mm). | |
156 | ||
157 | 4. Assemble the X axis (part 1) | |
158 | ||
159 | 4.1 Gather the following parts: | |
160 | ||
161 | a. The two plastic X end pieces ("motor" and "idler") | |
162 | b. Eight linear bearings (LM8UU) | |
163 | c. The two X axis smooth rods | |
6b043e32 MR |
164 | d. Two M5 nuts |
165 | e. X endstop limit switch | |
166 | f. One M3 x 30mm screw and nut | |
167 | g. One spring | |
a18275e3 MR |
168 | |
169 | 4.2 Hardware Assembly | |
170 | ||
171 | * Press two linear bearings into each X end. | |
172 | * Using pliers, gently press an M5 nut into the provided insert in each | |
173 | end. | |
174 | * Place two linear bearings on each of the smooth rods. | |
6b043e32 MR |
175 | * Insert the X endstop switch (previously wired) into the slot provided |
176 | on the X motor end. Route the wires down and through the guide on | |
177 | the bottom side of the end. Secure with a zip tie. | |
178 | * Press an M3 nut into the bottom of the Z axis adjuster, then thread | |
179 | an M3 x 30mm screw through a spring and into the nut from the top side. | |
a18275e3 MR |
180 | * Press each X end onto the pair of smooth rods, being sure to orient |
181 | them so that the M5 nuts are on the same side of the rods. | |
182 | ||
183 | 5. Assembling the frame (part 2) | |
184 | ||
185 | 5.1 Gather the following: | |
186 | ||
187 | a. The two upper Z axis mounts. | |
188 | b. The remaining piece of aluminum extrusion (the top bar) | |
189 | c. Four t-slot nuts | |
190 | d. Five more t-slot nuts if you are going to use the filament holder | |
191 | and SMART electronics mount. | |
192 | e. Four M5 x 8mm screws | |
193 | ||
0f6fe46f | 194 | 5.2 Assembly |
a18275e3 MR |
195 | |
196 | * Insert two t-slot nuts into the top side of the aluminum extrusion. | |
197 | * If you will be using the filament holder, rotate the extrusion 90 | |
198 | degrees and insert two more t-slot nuts into the top side. | |
199 | * Insert the remaining t-slot nuts into the side opposite from the one | |
200 | you started with. | |
a18275e3 MR |
201 | * Attach the upper Z axis mounts to the ends of the extrusion, tightening |
202 | the M5 nuts just until snug. Be sure to keep the two t slot nuts for | |
203 | the filament holder on the "top" and the t slot nuts for the SMART | |
204 | electronics mount and filament holder to the back (side away from the | |
205 | rod holders). | |
206 | ||
207 | 6. Mounting the X axis to the Z axis | |
208 | ||
209 | 6.1 Gather the following | |
210 | ||
211 | a. The partialy assembled frame from step 3. | |
212 | b. The X axis assembly from step 4. | |
213 | c. The upper frame assembly from step 5. | |
214 | d. The remaining two smooth rods | |
215 | e. The Z axis threaded rods (M5) | |
216 | f. Two NEMA17 stepper motors | |
217 | g. Eight M3 x 10mm screws (washers recommended) | |
218 | h. Two Z axis couplers (either 5mm x 5mm couplers or 3/16" vinyl tubing) | |
219 | i. Eight t-slot nuts | |
220 | j. Eight M5 x 8mm screws | |
221 | ||
222 | 6.2 Mounting the X axis onto the frame. | |
223 | ||
224 | * Attach the two Z axis motors to the motor mounts using four M3 x 10mm | |
225 | screws each. Place the z axis couplers on each motor shaft. | |
226 | * Press each Z axis smooth rod firmly down into the rod holder of each motor | |
227 | mount, being careful to keep the rods straight up and down to avoid | |
228 | breaking the mounts. | |
229 | * Gently slide the X axis assembly down over the Z axis rods. If the linear | |
230 | bearings in each X end do not align with the Z axis rods, remove the X | |
231 | axis assembly and gently push/pull the two ends to get the distance right. | |
232 | The motor end of the X axis assembly should be on your left (with the Y | |
233 | idler end toward you). | |
234 | * Insert two t-slot nuts into both the front and back sides of each end (8 | |
235 | total). You may want to hold the frame assembly on your lap with the | |
236 | upright extensions horizontally at the point, so that the t slot nuts | |
237 | don't slide down to the botttom of the frame. If they do, simply place | |
238 | your hands over the tops of the extrusions, keeping the z axis smooth | |
239 | rods supported, and tip the assembly over to slide the nuts back toward | |
240 | the top. | |
241 | * Place the upper frame assembly on the frame. Fit the tops of the z axis | |
242 | smooth rods into the rod holders. | |
243 | * Secure the top of the frame using 8 M5 x 8mm screws. Be sure to press | |
244 | the top of the frame down securely onto the vertical extrusions, and | |
245 | then press inward on each top corner to seat the upper extrusion against | |
246 | the sides. | |
247 | * With the X axis assembly resting at the bottom of the Z axis smooth | |
248 | rods, thread the z axis threaded rods down through the nut in each X | |
249 | end until the threaded rods rest against the Z axis motor shafts. | |
250 | * Tighten the z axis couplers. | |
251 | ||
4671e961 | 252 | 7. Completing the Frame Assembly |
a18275e3 | 253 | |
4671e961 MR |
254 | 7.1 Mount X and Y motors |
255 | ||
256 | * In addition to the frame from the previous step, gather the following: | |
a18275e3 MR |
257 | |
258 | a. Two NEMA17 stepper motors | |
259 | b. Two belt pulleys | |
0f6fe46f | 260 | c. The two idler bearings and plastic bearing guides |
a18275e3 MR |
261 | d. Three M3 x 10mm screws |
262 | e. Three M3 x 14mm screws | |
0f6fe46f | 263 | f. Two M4 x 20mm screws and nuts |
4671e961 MR |
264 | |
265 | * Mount the motors to the X and Y axis motor mounts using three screws | |
266 | each. | |
267 | * Fit a pulley on each motor shaft and tighten the grub screws to keep | |
268 | them secure. | |
269 | * Snap an idler bearing into each pair of plastic bearing guides, then | |
270 | attach the idlers to the opposite ends of the X and Y axis from where | |
271 | you attached the motors. Don't overtighten the screws that hold on | |
272 | the idlers. | |
273 | ||
274 | 7.2 Attach print bed | |
a18275e3 | 275 | |
4671e961 | 276 | * You will need: |
a18275e3 | 277 | |
4671e961 MR |
278 | a. The print bed you prepared earlier. |
279 | b. Eight M3 x 14mm screws and an equal number of M3 nuts and washers. | |
a18275e3 | 280 | |
4671e961 MR |
281 | * Mount the print bed to the Y axis bearing holders. The washer should |
282 | go on the screw first, which should go downward through the wood print | |
283 | bed and bearing holder, and secured with a nut. Attach each screw only | |
284 | loosely first, then check that the bed slides smoothly back and forth | |
285 | along the Y axis. Tighten the nuts a little at a time until secure. | |
286 | ||
287 | 7.3 Attach the X carriage. | |
288 | ||
289 | * You will need: | |
a18275e3 MR |
290 | |
291 | a. The printed X carriage | |
292 | b. Eight miniature zip ties | |
293 | ||
4671e961 MR |
294 | * Attach the X carriage with the belt guide "up" and with the flat |
295 | surface (where you will attach the extruder) toward the front of the | |
296 | printer (the Y idler end). | |
297 | ||
e4f0f362 | 298 | 7.4 Attach Belts |
4671e961 MR |
299 | |
300 | * You will need: | |
301 | ||
0f6fe46f MR |
302 | a. The X axis drive belt |
303 | b. The Y axis drive belt | |
304 | c. The Y belt holder | |
305 | d. 8 Miniature zip ties | |
4671e961 MR |
306 | |
307 | * Thread the X axis belt into place and secure with four zip ties (two | |
308 | on each side of the extruder, trimmed short after tight). | |
309 | * Turn the printer over or have a friend hold it upside down, being | |
310 | careful not to lift by or put pressure on the X axis rods. | |
311 | * Thread the Y axis belt into place. Hold the belt tight and use as a | |
312 | guide for placing the Y belt holder. The leading edge of the belt | |
313 | holder should be approximately in the middle of the wood print bed. | |
314 | * Mark the holes for the Y belt holder, then set the holder and belt | |
315 | aside and drill the two holes with a 4-5mm hand drill. | |
e4f0f362 MR |
316 | * Attach the Y belt holder with the head of the screws to the bottom, |
317 | with a washer and nut on the wood side. | |
318 | ||
319 | 7.5 Attach accessory mounts | |
320 | ||
321 | * You will need: | |
322 | a. Filament holder mounts | |
323 | b. SMART display mounts | |
05a12e43 MR |
324 | c. RAMPS electronics frame mount |
325 | c. Eight M5 x 8mm screws | |
e4f0f362 | 326 | |
e4f0f362 MR |
327 | 7.6 Attach heat bed |
328 | ||
329 | * You will need: | |
330 | ||
331 | a. The heat bed circuitboard | |
05a12e43 | 332 | b. Four M3 x 30mm screws and locknuts |
0e6f3a43 | 333 | c. Four springs (approx 1" long uncompressed) |
e4f0f362 MR |
334 | |
335 | * This is a good time to attach the heat bed thermistor if you have not | |
336 | already done so. Depending on your heat bed and thermistor, the most | |
337 | likely procedure here is to secure the thermistor to the middle of the | |
338 | bottom-side of the heat bed with a strip of Kapton tape. | |
339 | * Attach the heat bed with a screw through each corner, with the head of | |
0e6f3a43 MR |
340 | the screw up, down through the heat bed, through a spring, then through |
341 | the wood print bed, and into a lock nut. Compress the springs about | |
342 | halfway (you will adjust each corner later to level the bed more | |
343 | precisely). | |
e4f0f362 MR |
344 | |
345 | 7.7 Attach Limit Switches | |
346 | ||
347 | * You will need: | |
348 | ||
349 | a. Three micro limit switches | |
350 | b. The Z axis limit switch mount | |
0e6f3a43 | 351 | c. One T-slot nut and M5 x 8mm screw |
e4f0f362 MR |
352 | c. M2 x 16mm screws and nuts as needed (up to 6 each) |
353 | ||
354 | * If your limit switches do not already have wires attached, do that | |
355 | now. You will need approximately 45cm (18") of wire on each switch | |
356 | (depending on where you locate the electronics). | |
357 | ||
0e6f3a43 MR |
358 | * Slide a T nut into the outer side of the left upright piece from |
359 | the bottom. Attach the Z endstop holder with a M5 x 8 screw. | |
360 | ||
361 | 8. Extruder Assembly and Mounting | |
362 | ||
363 | 8.1 Assemble the Extruder | |
e4f0f362 MR |
364 | |
365 | * You will need: | |
366 | ||
0e6f3a43 MR |
367 | a. The extruder body and idler. |
368 | b. The hot end. | |
369 | c. The M8 Hobbed bolt | |
370 | d. Two M8 nuts (or one M8 locknut), and washers (probably 4). | |
371 | e. Two springs (approx 1" long uncompressed) | |
372 | f. The M8 x 20mm smooth rod (or M8 x 20mm grub screw) | |
373 | g. Three 608 bearings | |
374 | h. Two M3 x 60mm screws | |
375 | i. The larger extruder gear. | |
376 | j. Three M3 x 30mm screws | |
377 | k. Five M3 nuts | |
e4f0f362 MR |
378 | |
379 | * If your hot end was not previously assembled (heater resistor and | |
380 | thermistor), do that now. Follow the instructions for your particular | |
381 | hot end. | |
0e6f3a43 MR |
382 | * Slide the M8 x 20mm shaft through a 608 ball bearing then push this |
383 | assembly inside the extruder idler. You may have to use pliers to snap | |
384 | the shaft into place. Apply even pressure on top of the shaft/bearing | |
385 | to avoid cracking the plastic idler. | |
386 | * Insert an M3 nut into the inner recess provided on the idler. Use | |
387 | pliers or a hot iron to fix the nut into place (be careful not to break | |
388 | the idler in the process). | |
389 | * Thread an M3 x 30mm screw through the outer side of the idler on the | |
390 | side you just inserted the nut, just until the screw starts into the | |
391 | nut. | |
392 | * Fix the idler assembly to the Wade Body Extruder and then finish | |
393 | screwing the M3 x 30 bolt all the way through the fulcrum support. | |
394 | ||
395 | * Slide the Wade Big Gear through the hobbed bolt so that the hex head of | |
396 | the bolt is secured in the recess of the big gear. Slide 3-5 M8 washers | |
397 | onto the bolt (they go between the gear and the body of the extruder to | |
398 | provide spacing) followed by one 608 bearing. Insert the bolt into the | |
399 | extruder body, securing the bearing in the hole provided. Add another | |
400 | 608 bearing on the loose end of the bolt, followed by another M8 washer | |
401 | and locknut. Tighten the lock nut just enough to keep the hobbed bolt | |
402 | in place; it should spin freely. | |
403 | ||
404 | * Insert two M3 nuts in their slots on the top of the extruder body. | |
405 | Place an washer, then spring, then another washer on each M3 x 60mm | |
406 | screw, then thread the screws through the slots of the idler and into | |
407 | the nuts you inserted in the extruder body. Tighten the screws until | |
408 | the springs are well compressed (this keeps tension on the printer | |
409 | filament). If either spring is too short (or the bolts are too long) | |
410 | to compress properly, remove the bolt and place an M3 nut on first | |
411 | (before the washer/springs). | |
412 | ||
413 | * Insert the hot end into the 16mm hold on the bottom of the extruder. | |
414 | ||
415 | * Secure the hot end to the extruder body by threading in two M3 x 30mm | |
416 | screws through the front of the extruder (they will pinch the sides of | |
417 | the hot end on their way through the plastic body). Secure with M3 | |
418 | nuts and tighten well (it is critical that the hot end be rigid and | |
419 | not wobbly). | |

421 | 8.2 Connecting extruder to X-axis | |
422 | ||
423 | * You will need: | |
424 | ||
425 | a. Extruder assembly | |
426 | b. Wade Small Gear | |
427 | c. One NEMA 17 motor | |
428 | d. The plastic fan duct. | |
429 | e. One 40mm x 40mm x 10mm fan. | |
430 | f. Four M4 x 25 mm screws | |
431 | g. Four M4 nuts | |
0f6fe46f | 432 | h. One M3 x 30mm screw |
0e6f3a43 MR |
433 | i. Seven M3 x 14mm screws |
434 | j. Three M3 washers | |
435 | k. One M3 x 8mm screw | |
436 | l. Five M3 nuts | |
437 | m. One M3 locknut | |
438 | ||
439 | * Insert two M4 nuts in the bottom of the extruder body in the slots | |
440 | provided. Use pliers to gently press the nuts into the plastic, or | |
441 | press them in with the tip of a hot soldering iron if the holes are | |
442 | too tight. | |
443 | * Insert two M4 nuts into the slots on the sides of the extruder body. | |
444 | * The extruder is held to the X carriage by the four M4 x 25mm screws. | |
445 | Insert the four screws through the back of the X carriage and then | |
446 | slide on the extruder assembly (thread the top two screws into the | |
447 | nuts you just inserted). Then screw the two lower M4 nuts into | |
448 | place and tighten all four screws. | |
449 | * Insert an M3 nut into the slot on the small gear. Use pliers or a hot | |
450 | iron to press into place if necessary. | |
451 | * Slide the small gear onto the shaft of the NEMA 17 motor. If | |
452 | necessary, drill out the shaft hole on the small gear with a 5mm drill | |
453 | bit. | |
454 | * Insert the M3 x 8mm screw and tighten against the shaft of the motor. | |
455 | * Place the motor assembly against the Wade Extruder Body (supply wires | |
456 | upwards). Insert three M3x14 mm screws and three Ø3 mm washers without | |
457 | tightening. Slide the motor assembly against the Wade Big Gear and | |
458 | tighten the screws to hold the motor secure. | |
459 | * Attach the 40mm fan to the fan duct using four M3 x 14mm screws and | |
460 | M3 nuts. Make sure the fan is oriented so that airflow is going toward | |
461 | the duct (usually this means the side of the fan with a label on it | |
462 | will be against the fan duct). | |
463 | * Fix the Fan Duct assembly on the Wade Extruder Body with an M3 30mm | |
464 | screw and an M3 lock nut. Do not overtighten. | |
465 | ||
466 | 8.3 Install glass bed | |
467 | ||
468 | * Now is a good time to install the glass bed. Place the glass on top | |
469 | of the heat bed and secure with four paper-binder clips. If the X axis | |
470 | is too low, you may have to manually turn the two Z axis rods to lift | |
471 | it high enough so that the glass will fit underneat the hot end nozzle. | |
