Building the Printer

We recommend a large working surface for assembling the printer. The plywood

may require some minor sanding and can be painted, stained or finished for a different
look. A coat of sealer or lacquer on all surfaces of the plywood will add stability.

Extruder Assembly

Parts for the extruder mount
assembly include:

1 Extruder mount

1 Extruder top mount

1 Extruder lock

3 M3 x 20 machine screws

3 M3 nuts

2 LM8UU bearings

4 Large nylon ties

1 Extruder
