FINAL CHECKLIST TO ENSURE PROPER ASSEMBLY OF PRINTER (15MINS)
This checklist is used by our assembly team to ensure proper installation of the printer. Each check is of great importance and if all checked ok, it
ensures optimal operation of the machine.
No
Description
Check
1.
Check if belt tension for x and y-axis is ok
Tension must be high enough that :
you don’t feel the teeth of the belts when moving the axis by hand
You don’t see sideways movement of the belt when you turn direction.
2.
Check if belt of x-axis is parallel to top beam, when looking from the side. (If not parallel, pulley is probably
mounted too high on motor)
3.
Check if pulley’s are fixed ok with the setscrews
4.
Check if washers are placed underneath the nuts which hold the y-axis brackets onto the y-axis rail.
5.
Check if pulley’s are fixed ok with the setscrew
6.
Check if washers are placed on the y-axis brackets
7.
Check if 2 bolts fixing z-axis carriers bottom and top part together are firmly screwed. Also make sure M4 self-
locking nuts are used.
8.
Four screws fixing the linear y-rail onto z-axis carrier, must have rings and must be firmly screwed.
9.
Check if pulley guide bearings are fixed firmly and perpendicular to bracket.
10.
Check if washers are present under the 4 m3 bolts to mount y-axis rail. (Without washers the rail cannot be
fixed properly.)
11.
Check if rings are present to mount y-axis rail
12.
Make sure M4 x 25 bolds are used for tensioning mechanism of x and y axes
13.
Hot-end must be flat on extruder base part.
14.
Hot-end should be firmly in place, no movement/rocking is allowed after mounting.
The bolts that fix the swinging door onto the extruder base, must be tightened firmly to ensure play free hot-
end mounting.
The following checks can only be done after having done the first testprint.
15.
Extruder tensioning arm adjustment.
Tension must be strong enough that the filament is very hard to stop by hand. Not too tight that the filament is
squashed very wide.
16.
Table is aligned properly
17.
Flatness of table.
Table must be aligned according to the manual, if not sufficient try to bend the bed to correct possible
unflatness and redo alignment procedure.
18.
Finished testprint, test_thinwall at 100Micron, 20min
Result should be:
Smooth looking and feeling wall,
No large visible waves along vertical direction
No gaps,
No large vibration waves visible at sharp corners.
19.
Finished testprint, belt_guide, filament holder. 3-4hr
Must be clean, straight walls, no gaps.
