INSTALL Y MOUNT CHASSIS ONTO EXTRUSIONS - Build 2 of these assemblies.

Install two Y mount chassis onto Extrusion with no taps using M5 x 10 SHCS, M5 Washers and M5 T-nuts.

Take note of the direction of the Y mounts, the tall flat sides must face each other.

The location is not important at this point. Snug them down just enough to not slide around during the rest of the assembly.

Have you assembled 2 of these?

INSTALL THE SPOOL ARM

New line.Install 1x M8 nut into the Inner spool mount.

Use 1x M5 x 14 SHCS and M5 Washer to bolt on the Spool Arm.

Take note of the tapped end of the extrusion.

Set the location of the arm using the TL-FX0011 fixture.

INSTALL FEED TUBE SUPPORT

Slide 2x M5 T-nuts into the slot on the bottom right extrusion.

Install the Feet tube support with 2x M5 x 10mm SHCS.

Take note of tapped end of extrusion.

INSTALL NAME PLATE

Using the 2x M5 T-nuts in an extrusion that is not tapped, install the name plate with 2x M5 x 10 SHCS and M5 Washers.

ASSEMBLE THE FRONT FAME SQUARE

There is a tapped extension at the top of both the right and left extrusions.

Install 2 M5 t-nuts into the top of the name plate extrusion.

Use Fixture TL-FX0009 in the upper left corner.

Assemble using M5 x 10 SHCS, M5 Washers and M5 T-nuts.

ASSEMBLE THE BACK FRAME SQUARE

There is a tapped extension at the top of both the right and left extrusions.

Install 2x M5 t-nuts into the top of the upper extrusion.

Assemble using M5 x 10 SHCS, M5 Washers and M5 T-nuts.

PREPARE FRAME FOR CORNERS

Lay the front and back frame squares together with the spacer foam.

Photo 3 - Lay the front frame square on the top

INSTALL THE FIRST UPPER CORNER

Install 4x M5 T-nuts.

Assemble Z top flat and Z top flat side as shown with M5 x 10 SHCS and M5 washers.

INSTALL SECOND UPPER CORNER

Install 4x M5 T-nuts.

Assemble Z top flat and Z top flat side as shown with M5 x 10 SHCS and M5 washers.

INSTALL Z MOTOR MOUNT RIGHT

Install 4x M5 x 10 SHCS, M5 Washers and M5 T-nuts into the Z motor mount right as shown.

Slide the motor mount into the bottom of the frame and set it's height with the 48mm fixture.

INSTALL Z MOTOR MOUNT RIGHT (continued)

Only check the height against the front part of the frame.

Photo 1 - Check Z motor mount height

INSTALL Z MOTOR MOUNT LEFT

Install 4x M5 x 10 SHCS, M5 Washers and M5 T-nuts into the Z motor mount left as shown.

Slide the motor mount into the bottom of the frame and set it's height with the 48mm fixture.

INSTALL Z MOUNT MOUNT LEFT (continued)

SQUARE FRAME, SET SPACING AND TORQUE BOLTS

Set the frame up on a flat surface.

Close any gaps there may be at the ends of the extrusions.

Make sure all parts are straight on the assemble with edges flush with the extrusion.

Photo 3 - Example of flush edges

SQUARE FRAME, SET SPACING AND TORQUE BOLTS (continued)

Using fixtures, set the location of the Name plate, Z motor mounts and Feed tube holder.

Tighten all the bolts at this point.

Is the frame square?

Are all the gaps at the ends of the extrusion closed?

Are the edges of the parts flush with the extrusion?

Are all the bolts tight? Are there 2x M5 T-nuts in the top front extrusion and 2x M5 T-nuts in the left front extrusion?
