| Difficulty: | Easy |
| Steps: | 10 |
| Time Required: | 1hr – 2hrs |
Step 1 Assembling the V-wheels Set
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| 20×20 cm heated bed acrylic seat | 1 |
| Solid V-wheels kit | 4 |
| M5x30mm hex screws | 4 |
| M5 standard nut | 4 |
| M5 Eccentric nut | 2 |
| M5x6mm spacers | 2 |
| M5x12mm spacers | 2 |
Insert one solid V-wheel, one M5x6mm spacer, one M5 eccentric nut into the M5x30mm screw as shown in the pictures. Repeat that step one more time to assemble a second set.
Now, insert one solid V-wheel, one M5x12mm standard spacer into the M5x30mm screw as shown in the pictures. Repeat that step one more time to assemble a second set.
We will use these four sets to install the heated-bed seat on the y-axis aluminum profile.
Step 2 Installing The V-wheel Sets to the Heated Bed Acrylic Seat
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| Heated Bed Acrylic Seat | 1 |
| Solid V-wheels Sets | 4 |
| M5 standard nut | 4 |
Insert the two sets that contain the Eccentric nuts into the heated bed acrylic seat as shown in the picture. and fix them on the heated bed acrylic seat using two M5 standard nuts.
Then insert the other two sets that contain the M5x12mm spacers into the heated bed acrylic seat as shown in the picture. Fix them on the acrylic heated bed seat using two M5 standard nuts.
Step 3 Installing the y-axis heated-bed seat
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| 20x20cm assembled heated bed seat | 1 |
Gently slide the 20x20xm heated-bed acrylic seat to the y-axis aluminum profile.
You should now be able to slide the heated bed acrylic seat back and forth smoothly on the Y-axis aluminium profile. If you feel that there is any sort of a wobble on the bed or you feel that the grip between the solid V-wheels and the Y-axis aluminium profile is lose. you can rotate the two eccentric nuts of the solid v-wheels to adjust the grip between the solid v-wheels and the Y-axis aluminum profile until you get rid of any kind of wobble.
Step 4 Installing the y-axis heated-bed seat
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| M5x12mm hex screw | 4 |
| M5 T-nuts | 4 |
| Idler pulley 3d-printed holder part | 1 |
First, you need to insert four t-nuts into the y-axis aluminium profile front face as shown in the pictures.
Then, gently slide the idler pulley 3d-printed holder part into the aluminium profile until the four holes of the idler pulley 3d-printed holder part meet the four t-nuts. Make sure that they are all aligned.
Fix the idler pulley 3d-printed holder part with four M5x12mm screws.
Step 5 Installing the y-axis idler pulley
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| M5x55mm hex screw | 1 |
| M5 acorn nut | 1 |
| M5x16mm spacers | 2 |
| Idler pulley | 1 |
Install the M5x55mm hex screw along with two M5x16mm spacers and the idler pulley. You can refer to the images to see the proper order of this set assembly.
Use one M5 acorn nut to fix the M5x55mm in place
Now, you have an assembled y-axis idler pulley set.
Step 5 Assembling the Y-axis motor acrylic plate
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| M5 T-nut | 2 |
| M5x12mm hex screws | 2 |
| Y-axis stepper motor acrylic plate | 1 |
Insert two T-nuts into the aluminium profile back side as shown in the pictures.
Secure the Y-axis stepper motor plate on the aluminium profile using two M5x12mm hex screws.
Step 6 Assembling the Y-axis ideller pulley
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| M5x35mm hex screw | 1 |
| M5x16mm spacer | 1 |
| idler pulley | 1 |
| M5 acorn nut | 1 |
Install the M5x35mm hex screw along with one M5x16mm spacer, the idler pulley, and one M5 acorn nut. Refer to the pictures to see the proper arrangement.
Step 7 Assembling the Y-axis stepper motor
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| NEMA17 stepper motor | 1 |
| M3x12mm screws. | 4 |
| GT2 5mm bore 20-teeth pulley | 1 |
install the Y-axis stepper motor on the Y-axis acrylic part and make sure the cable connector of the motor is oriented to the inside of the machine. Then, secure the motor with four M3x12mm screws.
There is a flat part on the stepper motor shaft, rotate it similarly to the first picture. See the direction of the arrows.
One of the GT2 pulley screws must be facing directly against the pad (flat part) on the motor shaft. Slightly tighten the GT2 pulley first screw. Turn the shaft and slightly tighten the second screw.
Step 8 Assembling the Y-axis end-stop holder
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| end-stop 3d-printed holder part | 1 |
| M5 T-nut | 2 |
| M5x10mm hex screws | 2 |
Insert two T-nuts into the aluminium profile back side as shown in the pictures.
Secure the end-stop 3d-printed holder part on the Y-axis aluminium profile using two M5x10mm hex screws.
Step 9 Assembling the Y-axis end-stop
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| Mechanical end-stop | 1 |
| M3 standart nut | 2 |
| M3x10mm hex screws | 2 |
Insert two M3 standard nuts inside the end-stop holder part.
Place the mechanical endstop on the top of the 3d-printed part with the same orientation shown in the pictures. Then secure the endstop on the 3d-printed part using two M3x10mm screws.
Step 10 Checkpoint
Now, you should have a fully assembled Y-axis.
