 +
 +
Step1. Insert the hotend into the half bracket, stack the hotend bracket and half bracket together, screw up with 4 M3 x 16 screws and M3 nut.
 +
 +
<font color="red">(Note: For your convenience, the hotend is assembled with heaters and sensors, so, please ignore the difference in the picture) </font>
 +
 +
[[File:Spider1.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
 +
If you are building G2s, the steps are the same.
 +
 +
[[File:Hot end dual.jpg]]
 +
 +
Step2. Screw the fan onto the fan mount with 2 M3x 20 screws.<br>
 +
[[File:Spider2.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
 +
Step3. Mount the assembled fan and hotend onto the spider, using the following screws and nuts as shown in the picture.
 +
[[File:Spider3.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
[[File:Spider4.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
==Assemble the auto-leveling probe==
 +
 +
The automatic leveling part is pre-assembled; you just need to mount it on the spider. Screw it up with M3x 20 screw
 +
 +
[[File:Automatic leveling2.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
==Assemble the diagonal rods.==
 +
 +
Step1. Mount the diagonal rod onto the carriage.

 +
 +
[[File:Diagonal rod3.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
[[File:Diagonal rod4.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
Step2. Repeat the above steps for the other diagonal rods. And mount another end of the diagonal rods to the spider.<br>
 +
[[File:Diagonal rods3.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
The directions should be as shown in the following picture.<br>
 +
[[File:Diagonal rods4.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
Step3. Insert the M3 x 40 screw into the carriage, this screw is for the hitting of the endstop.
 +
 +
As shown in the picture, there is a spring in between.
 +
 +
[[File:Diagonal rods5.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
Step4. Connect the assembled print platform to the smooth rods.
 +
 +
Mount the carriage onto the rods where the linear bearing is, insert the bearings into the slot.
 +
 +
[[File:Diagonal rods6.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
Step5. Tie up the carriage and the bearings with two zip ties.
 +
 +
[[File:Diagonal rods7.jpg|500px]]
 +

Step1. Thread the belt through the drive wheel end. Pull it down to the pulley.
 +
 +
[[File:Belt1.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
Step2. Thread the belt around the pulley, and take both ends to the carriage.
 +
 +
[[File:Belt2.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
Step3. Insert the belt into the slot. If the slot is too thin, you can use the grater to file it larger. Tie up the belt if needed.
 +
 +
 +
<font color="red">*Pay attention to the tooth mesh of the belt and that on the bracket. Tie up both ends tightly.  </font>
 +
 +
<font color="red">*The belt should be neither too tight nor too loose, you can slide the carriage up and down to see if it is.  </font>
 +
 +
[[File:Belt3.jpg|500px]]
 +
 +
To help you better understand this step, here is a short video for you to refer.[[Media:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP-J7jWmabg]]

Safety Instructions

Building the printer will require a certain amount of physical dexterity, common sense and a thorough understanding of what you are doing. We have provided this detailed instruction to help you assemble it easily.

However ultimately we cannot be responsible for your health and safety whilst building or operating the printer, with that in mind be sure you are confident with what you are doing prior to commencing with building or buying. Read the entire manual to enable you to make an informed decision.

Building and operating involves electricity, so all necessary precautions should be taken and adhered to, the printer runs on 12V supplied by a certified power supply, so you shouldn’t ever have to get involved with anything over 12V but bear in mind there can still be high currents involved and even at 12V they shouldn’t be taken lightly.

High temperatures are involved with 3D Printing, the Extrusion nozzle of the hot end can run about 230°C, the heated bed runs 110°C and the molten plastic extruded will initially be at around 200°C, so special care and attention should be made when handling these parts of the printer during operation.

We wouldn’t recommend leaving your printer running unattended, or at least until you are confident to do so. We cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, threat, hurt or other negligent result from either building or using the printer.

Preparation

1. Unpack the kit and check if all parts are in the box and check the condition of each part, there might be some damage during shipping. To help you with this, there is BOM in the box and each bag was labeled with part number.

2. Contact our customer service immediately by email or through the website if you find any missing or damaged parts. And on the bottom of the BOM, there is a signature of reviewer, please take a picture of it and attach the picture in your mail.

3. Read through each chapter of these instructions to gain an over-all idea of what is involved and how long it might take, before starting on the work described.

4. Before you start, you can put all the part in order to save your time especially those screws and nuts. Do not mix them up.

5. Ensure you have the necessary skills to carry out the work, or enlist the help of someone who does.

6. Work on a big firm table or bench in a clean dry well-lit area.

7. This kit contains tiny parts; please keep them away from kids under 3.

8. Ask for help if you run into any problems - our contact details are on the website and we will always do our best to resolve any problems encountered.
