Initial Hardware Setup
Mounting the Extruder Assembly
Start by installing the extruder. You'll need the
two shortest silver screws from the kit found in
the accessory box, and the appropriate hex
wrench.
First, lower the build platform using one of the
methods described in the previous section.
Holding the extruder assembly by both sides,
take it out of the accessory sleeve and position it
on the extruder seat with the fans facing forward.
Align the screw holes and fasten with the two
short silver screws.
Installing the Spool Holders and Filament Guide Tubes
Next is the installation of the spool holders.
Install one on each side.
The installation of the spool holder is very simple
– just insert it into the circular opening and
tighten the nut behind. Use only your fingers to
avoid over-‐tightening.
Then install the filament guide tubes by attaching
them to the clips on the upper rear of the printer.
Connect the guide tubes to the empty spots on
the extruders, putting the end of one guide tube into each hole.
