Model B+ Assembly Instructions
You Will Need…
An antistatic wrist strap connected to earth
A small cross-head screw driver
Build Procedure
1)
Take the protective film off the plastic parts, laying them flat on a clean surface so as not to
cause abrasions/scratches. Ensure the discarded protective film is kept away from both the
Mini-Printer and your Pi.
The removal of the protective film from the plastics can produce an
electrostatic charge that can damage the electronics on your
Raspberry Pi and Pipsta Printer.
2)
Put on your ESD wrist strap, and ensure the lead has a good earth connection.
3)
Feed 4x M2.5x8 M-F hex stand-offs through the base plastics as shown below, heeding the
orientation shown in
Figure 1
below.
4)
Fit 4x M2.5 nuts to the other side of the base plastics. Manually tighten the nuts and stand-
offs
Figure 1
5)
Fit 4x self-adhesive rubber feet to the underside (the side with nuts) of the base plastics as
shown in
Figure 2
. Note that the position of the feet will affect the stability of the unit in
use.
