SAFETY

Read the instructions before use

• The use of an enclosure helps to contain the pollutant emissions associated with the use of 3D printers. It is recommended to always use ventilation during the printing process.
• The filtration system uses a powerful fan. You should only turn it on after the device is completely assembled with the protective screw-on cover and filter. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Please use the electrical voltages recommended during the assembly instructions to power the unit to avoid damage to the electronic components.
• Avoid contact with the electronic board during operation.
• Operating range of the filter 0-60°C max

STEP 1. PREPARATION OF THE BOTTOM PANEL

Start by mounting the accessories on the bottom 4mm aluminum panel.

1. Position the side with the 3 rails of the enclosure upwards (the side facing inwards).

2. Insert the 2mm black EPDM foam gaskets into the rails.
   Peel off the sticker on the back of the gaskets and place the gasket without stretching it. Cut the excess length if necessary.

3. Install the center feet : 2 elements for 900 and 800 series, 1 element for the 600 series.

STEP 2. BOTTOM MAGNETIC SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

Mount the magnetic locking system on the bottom plate. Insert one of the two magnets into the magnet holder. Insert the M4 square nuts into the slots on the bracket, then secure the bracket to the plate with the two 16mm M4 cap screws.
Orient the magnet holder so that the thinner wall faces the doors.

STEP 3. MOUNTING THE BOTTOM PANEL

The bottom panel is mounted using 8 M5 screws with a 20 mm domed head. They are screwed directly into the ends of the aluminum profiles by taking the bottom plate and the corner feet .
Be careful to screw in the first few threads by hand and then using the 3mm Allen wrench provided with the kit. Make sure the screws fit the threads before tightening.
The profiles do not have an up/down direction. However, it is necessary to position the threaded profiles for the door hinges towards the front.

Attach the corner feet to the panel and the profile with the M5 screws with 20mm head. The head of the screw must not protrude from the plastic part.
Place the 4 self adhesive anti-slip pads on the feet.

STEP 4. MOUNTING THE AIR INLET GRILLES

On the panel with the two square cut-outs, mount the grilles before installation in the aluminum structure. The assembly is done with the 6 M3 cylindrical screws 10 mm and 6 M3 hexagonal nuts.
The air intake grilles are supplied pre-assembled. The micro perforated nylon grille is already positioned as well as the hexagon nuts in the clamping ring.

1. Remove the protective film partially for the installation of the accessories on the panel.
2. Screw the elements of the friezes on both sides of the panel.
   

STEP 5. MOUNTING THE CABLE ENTRY

The cable entry is mounted on the rear panel with 4 x 10mm M3 cylindrical screws and 4 x M3 hex nuts.
Put the nuts in their places, before tightening the screw.
Once the assembly on the panel is completed, slide the knife into the slot of the part on the screw side.

1. Partially remove the protective film from the panel before assembly.
2. Tighten the screws with the 2.5 mm Allen key supplied in the kit.

STEP 6. GASKET ASSEMBLY AND PANEL ASSEMBLY

The silicon gaskets are mounted on the rear panel (cable entry) and the side panels (air inlet and filtration system grilles). Remove the protective film from the sides of the panels. Install the silicone gasket in a U shape. The lengths of the  gaskets are cut to the right size, install the gaskets without stretching them.

1. Put the silicone gaskets on the panels. Remove the protective film.
2. Slide the panels with the gaskets on both sides into the profile rails.
   

STEP 7. ILLUSTRATION OF MOUNTED STRUCTURE BOX

In this step, the bottom aluminum panel, profiles, PMMA panels are mounted, as well as the accessories on the panels, air inlet grilles and cable passage.

STEP 8. ASSEMBLY OF THE FILTRATION SYSTEM

The filtration system is mounted on the front of the unit on either side of the transparent panel.

STEP 9. PANEL MOUNTING THE FILTER SYSTEM

Panel mounting is done with 4 M5 self-drilling screws from the housing side of the filter location through the panel to the fan. Screw directly into the plastic of the fan.

1. Place the fan in its place, the label facing panel transparent.
2. Pull the fan wires through the slot provided.
3. Pass the electronic board through the hole in the panel cut-out (from the bottom to the top). Avoid shocks between the electronic board and the panel.
4. Screw the 2 parts together with the 4 self-drilling screws M5 x16mm. The panel is sandwiched between the 2 plastic parts.

STEP 10. CLOSING THE FILTER SYSTEM

Connect the cables and close the rear protection grid.

1. Connect the fan connector.
2. Pass the power cable of the V2 board through the hole on the side of the housing.
3. Place the 120mm cylindrical joint in the rail on the case above the fan. Then close the grille by screwing in the 4 self-drilling screws.

STEP 11. ASSEMBLY OF THE V2 BOARD

The V2 board is supplied pre-assembled. Mount the V2 board in its slot on the panel and use the clamp ring to secure the board to the panel with the 4 M3 14mm cylindrical screws and 4 M3 hex nuts. ![ALVEO3D 900 3D Printer Enclosure

STEP 12. CONNECTING THE V2 PROBE

The V2 probe is connected to the middle 3-pin connector on the V2 board. After connecting the cables, use the self-adhesive base and cable clamp for the probe on the back of the V2 board if necessary.

STEP 13. PREPARING THE TOP PANEL

Mount the magnetic locking system on the support bar. Insert one of the two magnets into the magnet holder slot. Then fix the magnet holder to the bar with the two M5 screws.

STEP 14. MOUNTING THE TOP PANEL

The panel is mounted by screwing the 8 M5 screws (20mm) into the profiles.
Screw by hand on the first threads and then with the 3mm Allen key supplied with the kit. Make sure that the screws fit the threads before tightening.

STEP 15. MOUNTING LED STRIP

The first step is to glue the LED strip on the 2mm aluminum panel (the top panel).
Be careful once glued, it is very difficult to remove and reposition the LED strip.

STEP 16. ILLUSTRATION OF THE ASSEMBLED STRUCTURE 2

Assembly is almost complete!

STEP 17. ORIENTATION OF THE DOORS

The door panels must be oriented in the correct top/bottom direction. The 600 series has only two hinges per door.

STEP 18. MOUNTING ACCESSORIES ON DOORS 1/2

STEP 19. MOUNTING ACCESSORIES ON 2/2 DOORS

1. Screw 2 M4 countersunk 12mm screws with 2 nylstop hex nuts through each hinge onto the panels.
2. Insert the M5 square nuts into the nut covers and then screw the M5 countersunk 12 mm screws into the magnet screw covers to hold everything together.
3. Repeat step 2 for the bottom magnet covers.
4. Insert the square nuts into the handles and screw the handles to the panels with the 16mm cylinder screws.
   

STEP 20. MOUNTING THE DOORS ON THE PROFILES

To mount the doors on the profiles, use the M4 countersunk screws 8 mm, to be screwed directly into the thread of the profiles.
Be careful, screw with the 2.5mm Allen key supplied with the kit. Make sure that the screws fit the thread before tightening.

STEP 21. ACCESSORY ASSEMBLY

On the top panel, insert the plugs and/or filament passages if you have the filament spools placed outside the enclosure.

1. Insert the filter into its slot. Push it in as far as it will go. The activated carbon side must remain visible. The black tabs will be used to remove the filter.
2. Connect the power supply to the side connector.

End of the installation: Please use the V2 manual for the first start-up of the system.

NOTES
Filter life
The life of a filter is linked to many factors such as: the type of plastic used for printing, the melting temperature, the concentration of nanoparticles and volatile organic compounds, the humidity level…
We recommend replacing the filter according to the table below :

We recommend not exceeding 600 hours of use per filter.
