Reminder: To handle the printer, always grab the handles on both sides of the printer. Do not lift the printer by the aluminum extrusions or the metal sheet profiles on top.
In the following steps, we will work with tools and install the Nextruder above the heatbed, it is recommended to protect it against any possible damage. An empty Prusament box can serve this purpouse.
⬢For better access when mounting the Nextruder, manually move the heatbed down.
⬢Place the empty cardboard box approximately to the front center part of the heatbed.
⬢Move the X-axis assembly all the way to the front side of the printer.
⬢Move the X-carriage approximately to the center of the X-axis.
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢Tool Changer Upper Lock (1x)
⬢Tool Changer Lower Lock (1x)
⬢Spring 3x9 (4x)
⬢TC push pin (4x)
⬢M3x12cT screw (4x)
⬢X-carriage-cover (1x)
⬢Insert each TC push pin into the holes in both metal parts.
⬢Insert each spring 3x9 into the same holes as a TC push pins.

⬢Attach the TC block lower assembly lock to the X-carriage and secure it with two M3x12cT screws from the front side. Ensure the correct orientation of the part.
