ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLATION

Assembly Videohttp://m.site.naver.com/0Q2S5 Place the print base on a flat table and install the Z-axis profile on the base. Then use the M5x40 bolt 4pcs bolt to lock the Z-axis profile onto the base.
Place the bottom of the printer base visible. Then lock M5x8 4pcs on the left and right sides.
Install the printing head onto the gantry. Then to lock the head with an M3x6 4pcs locking screw.

Loosen the 2 bolts locked in the cover on the back of the extruder and open the cover. Then connect the extruder cable to the extruder.
Close the cover on the back of the extruder and lock it with the 2 bolts.
Fasten the extruder cable under the upper profile using the extruder cable block and M4x25 2pcs. Set the cable so that it bends to the right when the extruder is close to the upper profile.

Install the stand of the filament holder onto the left side upper profile by M5x8 2pcs. Install the filament holder in front of the stand and rotate the nut to lock it.
Install M5x8 2pcswith the T-nut to the filament detector stand.
Install the filament detector stand in the position where the hole of the filament detector and the filament entrance of the extruder is aligned.
Rotate the Y-axis belt tension adjusting knob clockwise to tighten the belt tension. You can check the tension by use one finger to push the belt.
Rotate the X-axis belt tension adjusting knob clockwise to tighten the belt tension. You can check the tension by using one finger to push the belt.
