Hold one of the motors drivers as shown and plug it into the position for the Z-axis motor driver (see 

previous page, Step 2). Make sure that the circular structure on the driver is aligned as shown above. 

Hold the driver parallel to the driver board while you plug it in slowly and firmly until it is in all the way.

Now plug the other motor driver into the position for the feeder motor driver. Again, press 

firmly while holding it parallel to the driver board until it is fully inserted.

Plug the motor drivers into the driver board

Ensure the driver motors are not 

at an angle to the driver board and 

that the pins are all the way in.

Make sure that the 

circular element on 

the top of the motor 

driver is on the left when 

viewed with the front of the 

housing facing you. 

Be careful not to touch 

this element.

Make absolutely certain that 

the motor drivers are correctly 

plugged in, with their pins in the 

correct sockets and the circular structures 

to the left. 

Failure to 

do so might 

result in 

fire during 

operation of 

the printer.

With a marker pen, make a mark on the 

feeder motor cable 12cm in from the end 

of the cable, measuring from the smaller 

(motor end) connector.

Turn the housing so the rear panel is facing you. Put a cable tie through each of the four 

sets of holes outlined in red in the image above left. Align the tie at the top right with the 

mark on the feeder motor cable and, with the motor end socket on the right, tighten the 

cable tie around the cable. Trim off the excess cable tie with scissors.

Align with 

12cm mark
