STEP 26

Hotend fan assembly

Use the three M3x14 screws to fix

the fan in place. Don't over tighten

them, you can break the fan's

plastic casing. Also make sure the

fan can rotate freely.
Note that the screws are "self-

tapping" in the printed parts. There

are no nuts.
Leave the last hole empty, for now.

STEP 27

Extruder-idler parts preparation

For the following steps, please prepare:

Extruder-idler (1x)
Bondtech

WITHOUT

the hole for the set screw (1x)

Bearing (2x) might be stuck inside the gear
Shaft (1x)
M3n nut (1x)
M3x40 screw (2x)
Idler spring (1x) place the spring on the screw
