Chapter 3. Installlation of Extension PCB

1. Install Z-axis Adapter Plate

1.1 Fix Z-axis Adapter Base

Clamp Z-axis adapter plate base to Z-axis groove and fix it with the No.48 nut.

Note: Before fixing the baseplate onto the Z-axis, unscrew the metal-moving ship-shaped nut. After the Z-axis adapter plate base is fixed to the Z-axis, align the metal-moving ship-shaped nut with the threaded hole.

                                         Fix Z-axis Adapter Plate Base

                                             Fix Z-axis Adapter Plate Base

1.2. Install Z-axis Adapter Plate

                                             Align Z-axis Adapter Plate with the base

          Mount the Z-axis adapter plate and the base, and fix them with the No.48 screws

2. Wiring Harness 

2.1 Connect Y-axis Wiring Harness

Insert both the Y-axis motor cable (103) and the Y-axis reset switch cable (104) into the Adapter Plate (Red socket)

                                                 Connect Y-axis Motor Cable

                                   Overall Connection of Y-axis Motor Wiring harness

2.2 Connect Z-axis Wiring Harness  

Insert the Z-axis motor cable into the motor below the Z-axis profile (4pin Socket in Yellow), and insert the Z-axis cable into the mainboard (yellow).

                              Connect Z-axis motor Cable to Motherboard and Motor

                                        Overall Connection of Z-axis Wiring Harness

2.3 Connect Adapter Plate and mainboard

Connect one end of the Y/Z-axis limit Switch adapter cable (107) to the Adapter Plate and the other end to the mainboard.

                        Connect the Y/Z-axis Limit Switch Adapter Cable to the Mainboard

2.4 Connect Mainboard platform Control FFC 

Connect one end of the [Mainboard Platform Control FFC 108] on the Adapter Plate, and connect the other end to the mainboard. Be sure to lock the connection point to prevent it from falling off.

                      Connect The Motherboard Platform Control FFC to the Adapter Plate

                      Connect The【Motherboard Platform Control FFC】to the【Motherboard】

Note: When【Motherboard Platform Controls FFC】passing through Z-axis, in order to prevent unnecessary line occlusion during the operation of the 3D printer, it is necessary to fold a triangle in the middle of【Mainboard Platform Control FFC】, and pass it through Z-axis from the gap.

2.5 Connect 【Heated Bed Cable 109】

2.5.1 Connect【Heated Bed Cable 109】

Connect one end of the [Heated Bed Cable 109] to the [Adapter Plate], fold the middle part of the cable as well and pass it through the Z-axis from the gap for later use.

2.5.2 Mount and fix【Cable clip】

Fix the 3D printed【Cable Clip】on the X-axis, so that the 【Heated Bed Cable]】can be stretched.

2.6 Connect【Wifi Antenna 110】

Connect one end of【Wifi Antenna 110】 to the port on 【CPU】, and the other end is clamped into the base on the back of the 3D printer.

When【Wifi Antenna 110】is clamped into base on the back of the 3D printer, rotate it 45° counterclockwise to ensure it is completely fixed.
