D3D Simple Kit Preparation

Product

1. Ship extruder wire bundle prepared, terminated, in split wire loom
2. Ship extruder parts complete, thermistor and heater tested. No tapping required, but full assy required.
   1. Easy Build Kit - already assembled and tested
3. Ship axes with motors with pulleys already on. Customer builds the axes from start to finish. Tape detail on X and Z axes.
4. Controller components are pretested for functional LCD. RAMPS assembled but without heat sinks. Motors tested. GFCI wired. Power supply tested. Endstops and probe tested.
5. Board precut.
6. Bed magnets glued
7. D3D Pro, CNC Torch Table included on SD card or USB stick.

Kit Preparation Instructions

Extruder Wire Bundle

1. Take 6 components
   1. Probe - remove nuts
   2. Heater cartridge
   3. Thermistor
   4. Motor wire
   5. Fan
   6. Blower
2. Terminate them
   1. Put triple plug on probe
   2. Ferrule the heater ends
   3. Ferrule the blower
   4. Ferrule the fan
   5. (Nothing for thermistor and motor wire

Endstops

1. Take 2 standard endstop wires.
2. Take or trim 2 endstops
3. Repin for position 1&2 with green and red wire, cut off black wire. Green goes to lever base side.
4. Solder connections, heat shrink
5. Mount in endstop holder facing right.

Control Panel

1. Open up controller package.
2. Cut off power diode on RAMPS to convert to 24V.

Put jumpers on RAMPS for microstepping.

1. Set up workstation with USB
2. Upload firmware. (Set up Production Programming as the next step.)
3. Wire up power plug to GFCI
4. Wire up power plug to 24V power supply
5. Make 1 power cable from 24V power supply to 5V power into RAMPS
6. Test wall wort + USB cable with Arduino
7. Up
8. Moodify RAMPS for 24

Printed Parts

Collect and bag printed parts:

1. Control panel
2. Extruder main
3. Extruder second side
4. Extruder lever
5. 2 Z base
6. 5 Carriage
7. ZX Connector
8. 5 Idler
9. 1 raised motor
10. 1 raised idler
11. 2 motor pieces
12. 6 pegs
13. 2 endstops

Build Instructions

1. Build axes
2. Mount extruder
3. Assemble controller with its internal wirring
4. Assemble heat bed
5. Screw down parts, using printed paper template
6. Fix wires, plug components in
7. Mount the spool holder
8. Print!

Production Ergonomics for 12 kits

1. Axis parts bagging, 1 hour after printing
2. Controller parts testing, 1 hr
3. Board cutting - 30 minutes
4. Extruder prep - make heatsinks- 1 hour
   1. Take 21" of stock, put jig on it to drill-mark with 3 mm bit
   2. Take off jig and drill through
   3. Tap 12 holes
   4. Cut blocks
5. File corners with disc sander (use grinder with flapper wheel)
