C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 51.png

2.5mm Allen Key

3mm Allen Key


Step 2: Coop mount parts gathering

C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 17.png

Gather:

12x M4 10mm screws

10x M4 T-slot nuts

1x Edge mount

1x Edge mount with homing block

  • The two corner blocks from the previous step.


Step 3: Back Left corner mount

  • Go to the corner of the bed frame with the circuit case.

Insert two of the T-slot nuts into the extrusion nearest the bed cables. One on each rail.

Insert two of the T-slot nuts into the extrusion on the other side of the corner. One on each rail.

  • Slide them towards the circuit case.

Take one of the corner blocks.

  • Notice one edge is longer than the other.

  • Orient it with the shorter edge facing the circuit case.

Use two of the M4 screws to attach the short edge of the block to the two nuts closest to the circuit case.

Align the two nuts on the other extrusion with the holes on the long side of the block.

Use two more M4 screws to mount the long side of the block to the other two nuts.


Step 4: Front Left corner mount

Going to the next corner at the front of the bed.

Take four T-slot nuts and insert one into each rail on both sides of the corner.

Take the other corner block

  • Orient it so that the short side is pointing towards the circuit case.

Take two of the M4 screws

  • Screw the short side to the extrusion that the other block is attached to.

Align the other two nuts with the holes in the block.

Take two more M4 screws and attach the long side of the block to the frame.


Step 5: Front Right Mount

Go to the front corner on the opposite side of the bed.

  • Insert two T-slot nuts into the bottom rail of the right side extrusion.

Take the edge bracket without the homing block.

  • Insert two M4 screws into the countersunk holes.

Align the two nuts with the M4 screws.

Attach the edge mount to the T-slot nuts with the screws.


Step 6: Back Right mount

Go to the remaining corner of the bed (the corner on the other side of the arm from the circuit case)

  • There are already two T-slot nuts here from section 1.

Take the edge mount with the homing block and insert the remaining two M4 screws into the countersunk holes.

  • Align the T-slot nuts with the screws in the block.

Thread the screws into the nuts to attach the mount.

The position of this block does matter. The Front face of the block (the one with the slot hole in it) should be approximately aligned with the edge of the bed.

  • Tighten the M4 screws with the 3mm Allen key.

Step 7: Gathering circuit case cover parts

C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 37.png

Gather:

4x M3 10mm screws

4x M3 20mm screws

1x Duet cover panel

1x Side panel

1x Driver cover panel


Step 8: Circuit case side panel

C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 40.png
C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 41.png

Look at the inside of the circuit case.

  • Notice that on the vertical edges of the case (near the Wifi Antenna and Case Connectors) there are two trapezoidal protrusions into the case.

Take the Side panel

  • Notice that the side panel has two β€œhooks” extending from the back of it.

Hook the extensions off the side panel over the trapezoidal protrusions in the case.


Step 9: Circuit case Duet panel

C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 42.png

Shift the bed print surface out of the way or remove it for this step.

Take the duet cover panel and the four 10mm screws.

  • Place the panel over the Duet board.

make sure the cables are out of the way and aren’t being pinched by the cover.

Attach the panel to the case with the four 10mm screws using a 2.5mm Allen key.

Step 10: Circuit case driver panel

C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 43.png
C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 44.png

Take the Driver cover panel and the four 20mm screws.

Place the panel on the case covering the drivers.

Use the four 20mm screws to attach the panel to the case.

Make sure you aren’t pinching any cables.

This panel may not be perfectly aligned with the holes, so don’t be afraid to flex the case a little to get the screws in place.

Gather the Relay cover

Flip it over to look at the inside.

  • Notice the interior grooves facing to the left in this image.

Place the relay cover over the relay and slide the grooves over the standoffs on the side of the case.

  • The cover should click into place.


Step 12: T-slot end covers

C1 Images_8. Finishing touches_Page 48.png

Gather 4x T-slot end covers.

Take two of the covers.

  • Push them onto the ends of the two exposed T-slot ends of the Z-carriage.

Take one cover.

  • Push it onto the exposed end of the proximal arm.

Take the remaining cover.

  • Push it onto the exposed end of the distal arm.
