Assembly of retrofitting kit for heatable printing bed
This chapter ("8.
Assembly of retrofitting kit for heatable printing bed") applies to the available set as well as to the individual parts
(aluminium die-cast plate, heating mat and mains unit).
This chapter will also support you in replacing one of these components, e.g.
in case of a defect.
Before you start, move the printing table roughly to the centre of the printer.
Then pull the mains plug from the printer mains unit from the mains socket.
Also disconnect the green plug of the mains
unit from the main PCB.
a) Disassembly of the original printing bed
First remove the two holding brackets of the printing plate.
Then carefully remove the glass support from the printing plate.
You
will not need either for the new aluminium die-cast plate anymore.
Move the table up until you can reach the knurled nuts at the bottom.
Remove all 4 knurled nuts and the 4 spacers crosswise.
Then take out the old printing plate and pull the 4 springs from the
screws.
Carefully remove all 4 nuts from the screws.
Remove the 4 washers and pull out the screws.
The 4 recessed-head screws, washers, nuts, springs, spacers and
knurled nuts are needed again for the printing bed!
You can put the old printing plate aside. You will no longer need it.
