Before we start with partial disassembling of the printer, proceed with the following steps:
⬢Unload the filament from the extruder.
⬢Turn the printer off and unplug the power cable.
⬢Remove the steel sheet from the heatbed.
⬢Remove the USB flash disk.
⬢Take off the filament spool from the spool holder and remove the spool holder from the printer.
⬢Carefully turn the printer on its side (on the PSU).
⬢Disconnect the PE cable.
⬢Disconnect the xLCD cable.
You may have another version of the connected PE cable. Disconnect the PE and continue as instructed.
⬢Pry out the cable clips using a 2,5mm Allen key.
⬢Pry out and release all cable clips.
⬢Carefully remove the xLCD cables and the PE cable from the cable clips.
⬢Using the needle-nose pliers, cut the zip tie near the PSU. Be careful not to cut the cables!
⬢Follow the cable bundle up. Cut two zip ties securing the cable bundle over the xLCD cables.
⬢Cut remaining zip ties on the cable bundle. Their number may vary at this location.
⬢Remove the xLCD cable and PE cable from the cable bundle.
⬢Put the printer back on its feet and leave the xLCD cable and PE cable free next to the printer.
Avoid placing the printer on xLCD and PE cables!
⬢Move the heatbed away from the xLCD.
⬢Release all four screws holding the xLCD in the front plate. Remove the xLCD from the printer.
Put the xLCD in a safe place for now. You'll need it again soon.
⬢Release two screws holding the PSU-cover and remove the cover from the PSU.
⬢Loosen two screws holding the PSU on the aluminum extrusion. Do not remove them completely! Keep them in place.
⬢Release two round head screws from the front side of the frame securing the PSU. Do not throw them away!
If one of the screws is hidden behind the X-end, manually rotate both threaded rods at the same time to move the X-axis up or down.
⬢Slightly lift the PSU until it can be completely released from the printer.
⬢Remove the PSU from the printer and place it behind the back of the printer on the piece of cloth, like in the picture.
You will need to slightly lift the printer to guide the cables out of the frame.
⬢Carefully turn the printer on the "electronics" side.
Avoid putting the printer on the LCD cables!
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢Zip tie (3x)
In the upcoming steps, please tighten all zip ties carefully, as you might pinch/break the cables.
⬢Locate the circular holes in the frame near the Z-axis right motor.
⬢Slide the zip tie through the circular holes in the frame to create a loop.
⬢Guide the motor cable in the zip tie and tighten it. Be careful not to over tighten the tie as it can cut the wires. Cut the remaining part.
⬢そのまま下方向に進み、別の結束バンドを使って次のループを作ります。
⬢Insert Y-axis motor cable to the current bundle.
⬢Push the cable gently in the zip tie and tighten it so it is snug and holding the wires. Be careful not to over tighten the tie as it can cut the wires . Cut the remaining part.
⬢Following the cables and secure the bundle with the zip tie in the next couple of holes.
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢Printer frame support (1x)
⬢M4x10r screw (2x) previously removed from the PSU
⬢Slide the printer frame support on the screws in the aluminum extrusions (instead of the PSU).
⬢Move the printer frame support to the frame.
⬢Secure the printer frame support to the frame with two M4x10r screws.
⬢Fully tighten the screws on the printer frame support.
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
There are two textile sleeves in your kit with different lengths and diameters.
⬢Textile sleeve 8 x 350 mm (1x)
⬢Zip tie (2x)
⬢From the electronics, wrap the PSU cable (including the black&white power panic cable and the green&yellow PE cable) in the textile sleeve.
⬢Leave 2-5 cm from the electronics uncovered. Secure the end of the sleeve with the zip tie.
⬢Wrap the entire length of the bundle and slightly twist the sleeve, not the cables.
⬢Secure the end of the sleeve with the zip tie.
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢Textile sleeve 13 x 400 mm (1x)
⬢Zip tie (1x)
⬢From the electronics, wrap the xLCD and PE cables in the textile sleeve.
⬢Push the textile sleeve near to the electronics box.
⬢Wrap the entire length of the xLCD cable bundle.
⬢Using the zip tie, create a loop through the circle holes in the frame around the motor cables and xLCD cable bundle.
Do not forget to include the Z-axis left motor cable on the front side of the frame! See the detail.
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢Fitting QSM-M5 (1x)
Starting from September 2024, you may receive a new black Fitting M5-4. The assembly and functionality remain identical to the blue one.
⬢Insert and screw the Fitting QSM-M5 directly into the threaded filament hole in the extruder.
Your MK4S or MK3.9S may have a printed or injection molded xLCD cover. The following steps are for the injection molded version. If you have the printed cover, go toVersion A: Disassembling the xLCD
