Important Safety Instructions
SKILL LEVEL: ADVANCED
This product is an advanced level project and requires detailed knowledge of the mechanical nature of a 3D printer.
Throughout the project, you will be challenged at many levels in order to successfully complete the project.
Machine Safety
Never reach into the machine’s working area while it is running. Always shut off and unplug the printer to perform
maintenance, adjustments, or repairs.
Sharp Edges
Some parts may have sharp edges and care should be exercised when handling all metal parts. Should you discover
sharp edges, the best treatment is a sanding block of 80 grit sandpaper. Carefully rub the edges with the sandpaper
until the sharp edge is reduced to a friendly edge.
Electrical Wiring
The increased size of the printer will necessitate lengthening some of the wires for the printer’s power supply, motors
and end-stop switches. Suitable replacement wires have been included in your kit; however, you may need to trim, cut
wires and crimp wire connectors. These steps require tools that are not included in the kit. These tools will be identified
in the Required Tools section. Care should be taken that all connections are secure before powering on the printer.
FIRMWARE CHANGES
This kit expands the build volume of your printer. You may be required to update the firmware to take advantage of the
new build volume.
Ender Extender does not provide support for firmware changes. Consult the numerous Youtube videos; utilize google
search; and seek assistance in the many Facebook user groups for assistance if you are unfamiliar with this process.
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE MACHINE BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
