Stepper Motors
Locate the Stepper Motor Looms for each stepper motor on your Exilis. Plug them in to the

you plug either Z motor into, as long as both Z motors are connected.
LCD Module Cables
Plug in the two Ribbon Cables to the Motherboard – they are located at the bottom of the
motherboard below the thermistor and end-stop connectors. Take note of which cable is
connected to the
EXP 1
port and which is connected to the
EXP 2
port. Mark them as 1 and
2. Run the cables to the top of the Motherboard Enclosure making sure they remain flat and
are not twisted. These two Ribbon Cables will travel out of the slot in the top of the
Motherboard Cover and connect to the LCD Module. With the Ribbon Cables fitted,
proceed to tidy up your wiring with cable ties so that everything flows into a single bundle on
the left hand side of the enclosure. This needs to be done so that there are no cable bundles
sitting on top of the Stepper Motor Drivers which would lead to reduced airflow from the fan
on the Enclosure Cover. Stepper Motor Drivers require constant airflow to keep them cool
and operating correctly. Aim to achieve something like this once all wiring is completed:
