⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢LCD-cover (1x)
⬢LCD-knob (1x)
⬢LCD-support (2x)
⬢LCD screen (1x)
⬢M3x10 screw (6x)
⬢M3nS nut (4x)
⬢SD card (1x)
⬢Before you start, please ensure the cables are plugged in the correct order.
⬢To the slot called EXP1 (see the board) must be connected cable with ONE black stripe.
⬢To the slot called EPX2 (see the board) must be connected cable with TWO black stripes.
There is an updated version of the LCD connectors, which are now connected perpendicular (90°) to the board. Functionality remains the same. See the second picture.
⬢Prepare the LCD controller and LCD-support printed part as shown in the picture.
⬢Slide the LCD-support parts on the LCD-controller.
⬢Repeat the steps above for the second support.
Ensure the correct orientation of parts and the LCD controller.
The exact position will be adjusted later, no need to worry at this moment.
⬢Press the LCD controller with the LCD-support into the LCD-cover as shown in the picture.
⬢Adjust the position of the supports if needed.
⬢Press it as deep as possible.
⬢The LCD controller must click under support in the centre of the LCD-cover.
⬢Using the 2.5mm Allen key and two M3x10 screws, secure the LCD controller in place.
⬢Place four M3nS nuts in the prepared slots, all the way in.
Check the proper alignment with Allen key.
⬢Locate the holes for M3 screws on the front plate.
⬢Press through four M3x10 screws.
⬢Place the LCD assembly onto the front side of the Y-axis.
⬢Tighten all four screws.
⬢Assemble the LCD-knob part as shown in the picture.
⬢That was fast! Wasn't it?
⬢Check the final look, compare it to the picture.
You can now remove the protective foil from the LCD panel.
You can slide the SD card in (from the left side). However, it is recommended to wait till the printer is completed.
Similar choice to the previous chapter, there are two options depending on the contents of your kit:
⬢There is thin textile sleeve 6 x 300 mm present in the kit, then proceed according to the: 7. Heatbed & PSU assembly (textile sleeve)
⬢There are only spiral wraps remaining in the kit, then proceed according to the: 7. Heatbed & PSU assembly (spiral wrap)
