| 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 | |
| 62 | While the Y axis assembly is free, it is a good time to prepare the print |
| 63 | bed which you will attach later. |
| 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 | |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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) |
| 100 | c. 22 T-slot nuts |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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 | |
| 128 | |
| 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 |
| 164 | d. Two M5 nuts |
| 165 | e. X endstop limit switch |
| 166 | f. One M3 x 30mm screw and nut |
| 167 | g. One spring |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 | |
| 194 | 5.2 Assembly |
| 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. |
| 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 | |
| 252 | 7. Completing the Frame Assembly |
| 253 | |
| 254 | 7.1 Mount X and Y motors |
| 255 | |
| 256 | * In addition to the frame from the previous step, gather the following: |
| 257 | |
| 258 | a. Two NEMA17 stepper motors |
| 259 | b. Two belt pulleys |
| 260 | c. The two idler bearings and plastic bearing guides |
| 261 | d. Three M3 x 10mm screws |
| 262 | e. Three M3 x 14mm screws |
| 263 | f. Two M4 x 20mm screws and nuts |
| 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 |
| 275 | |
| 276 | * You will need: |
| 277 | |
| 278 | a. The print bed you prepared earlier. |
| 279 | b. Eight M3 x 14mm screws and an equal number of M3 nuts and washers. |
| 280 | |
| 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: |
| 290 | |
| 291 | a. The printed X carriage |
| 292 | b. Eight miniature zip ties |
| 293 | |
| 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 | |
| 298 | 7.4 Attach Belts |
| 299 | |
| 300 | * You will need: |
| 301 | |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| 324 | c. RAMPS electronics frame mount |
| 325 | c. Eight M5 x 8mm screws |
| 326 | |
| 327 | 7.6 Attach heat bed |
| 328 | |
| 329 | * You will need: |
| 330 | |
| 331 | a. The heat bed circuitboard |
| 332 | b. Four M3 x 30mm screws and locknuts |
| 333 | c. Four springs (approx 1" long uncompressed) |
| 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 |
| 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). |
| 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 |
| 351 | c. One T-slot nut and M5 x 8mm screw |
| 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 | |
| 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 |
| 364 | |
| 365 | * You will need: |
| 366 | |
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 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). |
| 420 | |
| 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 |
| 432 | h. One M3 x 30mm screw |
| 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. |
| 472 | |
| 473 | 9. Connect the Electronics |
| 474 | |
| 475 | * You will need: |
| 476 | |
| 477 | a. The electronics controller of your choice (e.g. RAMPS) |
| 478 | b. The power supply |
| 479 | c. SMART display (optional) |
| 480 | |
| 481 | * Use the checklist below as you connect the electronics. If your |
| 482 | electronics board has multiple options for connecting devices, make a |
| 483 | note of which connection you use so that you can input the settings |
| 484 | to your firmware. |
