Paso 1 Introduction

⬢This guide will take you through the replacement of the xBuddy board on the Original Prusa MK4 and MK3.9.

⬢Although the procedure is almost identical, some steps are slightly different for MK4 and MK3.9. The easiest way is to look at the serial label on the back of the printer and check what printer model you have.

⬢Todas las piezas necesarias están disponibles en nuestra tienda prusa3d.com.

Note that you have to be logged in to have access to the spare parts section.

Do not remove any fasteners or parts unless instructed to do so.

Paso 2 Herramientas necesarias para este capitulo

⬢Para este capítulo, prepara por favor:

⬢Llave Allen de 2.5mm

⬢PH2 Philips screwdriver

⬢Needle-nose pliers

⬢X-holder (opcional) - una útil herramienta imprimible que puede facilitar la inserción de las bridas. Esta pieza puede descargarse en Printables.com.

Paso 3 Preparing the printer

⬢Move the Z-axis all the way up. Go to Control -> Move Axis -> Move Z and turn the knob clockwise to move the axis up.

Use a smart shortcut - Press and hold the LCD button for one second, then release. This will bring up the Z-axis move menu. Rotate the knob to move the axis.

⬢If this cannot be done through the menu, turn the printer OFF, disconnect the power cable and move it up by turning both Z-axis threaded rods at the same time.

En este caso, no olvides calibrar el eje Z después de sustituir la xBuddy: Control -> Calibración y Tests -> Calibración Alineación Z y espera a que la impresora termine de calibrarse.

Before you start, make sure that the printer is switched OFF and the power cord is disconnected from the printer (power supply unit)!

Paso 4 Abriendo la caja xBuddy

⬢From the left side of the printer, loosen four M3 screws on the xBuddy box cover and remove it from the printer.

⬢Release two M3 screws securing the xBuddybox-cover (printed part) and remove it from the printer.

⬢

Release the two M3x10 screws holding the ext-cable holder on top of the xBuddy box.

This way, we can move the cable bundle later on, to provide us with some more space on the inside of the box.

Paso 5 xBuddy cable management

⬢Cut off each zip tie securing the cables.

Be extra careful! Avoid cutting cables!!!

La gestión de cables es diferente entre la MK4 montada en fábrica, la MK4 construida como una actualización de un modelo de impresora anterior, y la MK3.9 / MK3.5.

Por ejemplo, algunas versiones de la impresora podrían estar utilizando adaptadores de cable para algunos de los cables del motor. Mira las dos imágenes para una comparación.

En cada cable del motor hay unas pinzas amarillas que indican qué eje es accionado por un motor determinado.

Sin embargo, el proceso de sustitución de la placa xBuddy es el mismo para todas las versiones de la MK4/MK3.9/MK3.5.

Paso 6 Removing the covers and ESP Wi-Fi

⬢From the rear of the printer, release the M3x6 screw holding the ESP-Wi-Fi module cover. Remove the cover.

⬢Remove the ESP Wi-Fi module.

Handle the module by its sides. Do not touch the individual components on the PCB itself to avoid damaging it. Use ESD gloves to prevent a damage to the electronics.

⬢Release the two M3x6 screws holding the heatbed cable cover.

⬢Remove the heatbed cable cover.

Paso 7 Removing the Heatbed & Ext. cables

⬢Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the two heatbed power terminal screws and disconnect the cables.
