En los siguientes pasos, volveremos a montar todo el conjunto de la caja de engranajes para garantizar una instalación correcta.
Las siguientes instrucciones deben seguirse correcta y cuidadosamente. Consigue una mejor comprensión y un montaje satisfactorio viendo el vídeo junto a la guía: prusa.io/PG-assembly
The video is for MK4, but the procedure is identical.
Después de ver el vídeo, sigue los pasos de esta guía.
Coloca el PG-assembly-adapter en el PG-assembly. Observa las cavidades para los engranajes en el adaptador.
Assembling the PG-ring
Assembling the PG-ring
Assembling the PG-ring
No monte la caja de cambios sin el PG-assembly-adapter. Esta herramienta está destinada a garantizar que los engranajes encajen correctamente.
Desliza el PG-ring en el adaptador.
Observa que hay un chaflán en un lado de los dientes del PG-ring. Este lado debe estar orientado hacia abajo (hacia el PG-assembly).
Sujeta todo el conjunto con una mano para poder girarlo con el PG-ring.
Con la otra mano, desliza el PG-ring en el ensamblaje PG con un movimiento oscilante (mueva el PG-ring a izquierda y derecha repetidamente) - un cuarto de vuelta es suficiente.
Deténte cuando las superficies de los engranajes estén aproximadamente a ras con la superficie del anillo PG.

Procede con mucho cuidado en este paso.
Attach the main-plate on the heatsink. Note the orientation of the part. Use the cutout for the socket screw as a guide (lower left corner).
Mantén la posición del PG-assembly y fíjalo al eje del motor del extrusor.
Make sure the PG-ring perfectly fits on the socket set screw.
Very gently and freely rotate with the whole PG assembly (PG-assembly-adapter, PG-assembly and PG-ring) until it drops down so that there is minimal gap between the assembly and the main-plate. Do not push on the assembly.
Remove the PG-assembly-adapter.
Checking the PG assembly

Attach the PG-assembly-adapter back on the PG-assembly again to verify that all parts are properly seated.
Rotate with the PG-assembly-adapter. The PG assembly must be easy to rotate without having to exert much force.
Remove the PG-adapter. You will no longer need it during assembly. We recommend keeping it for maintenance.
Asegúrate de que el PG-assembly no sobresale sobre el PG-ring. Debe colocarse por debajo del nivel de la superficie del PG-ring o al mismo nivel que el anillo.
No debe haber ningún espacio entre el PG-ring y la Main-plate. Si observas un hueco, retira el conjunto del engranaje planetario y vuelve a colocarlo.

Now we need to simulate the movement of the gearbox. On the LCD screen, navigate to Filament - Unload filament.
As soon as the extruder's movement finishes, tighten the three M3x25 screws on the PG-case in the correct order (shown on the picture).
Then loosen the screws slightly and repeat the process, tightening the screws in the correct order. This ensures that the gearbox is seated correctly.
Well done!
