⬢From inside, push out the nylon rivet securing the Top-plug-edge in the front of the enclosure. Use the needle-nose pliers to push on the nylon rivet.
⬢Remove the Top-plug-edge part from the enclosure.
⬢Using the same procedure remove the Top-plug-edge on the rear side.
⬢Remove the Top-plug-center part. Do not discard this part, you will need it later again.
⬢Close the lid and turn both Lid-lock. If the locks turn stiffly over the lid, slightly loosen the screws on the bottom of the lock (inside the enclosure).
⬢Good job! You successfully installed the hinged lid on the Original Prusa Enclosure.
⬢If you intend to use a single-material printer, your work is done here. For the installation of the MMU2S into the Original Prusa Enclosure continue with the following steps.
⬢Now, proceed to the instructions for installing the MMU2S unit on the printer.
⬢The procedure will vary slightly depending on whether the MMU2S unit was only temporarily removed from the printer during the enclosure assembly, or whether it was never installed on the printer at all. Choose your option:
⬢Grasp the printer by its frame and carefully insert it into the enclosure. Insert the printer slightly diagonally so as not to scratch the printer and enclosure.
Avoid placing the printer on cables and PTFE tubes!
⬢Place the printer at an angle (as shown in the picture) in the enclosure behind the anti-slip dampers.
It's just a temporary position for the printer. We will adjust the correct position later.
⬢Guide the LCD cable through the cutout in the bottom panel.
⬢Secure the textile sleeve on the cable bundle with the zip tie. Do not over tighten the zip tie, it may cut the cables!
⬢From the inside, push two M3x8 screws through the bottom profile.
⬢Place the LCD assembly close to the LCD cables, like in the picture. Mind the same orientation of the LCD as in the picture. See the LCD-supports for better understanding.
Note that both cables are marked with stripes on one side. Correct connection order is important!
⬢Connect the LCD cable marked with TWO STRIPES to the left slot (called EXP2) on the LCD controller.
⬢Connect the LCD cable marked with ONE STRIPE to the right slot (called EXP1) on the LCD controller.
⬢Slide the LCD assembly onto the two M3x8 screws in the frame and tighten them.
There are two symmetrical grommets for both edges of the enclosure's rearside. In case you intend to place all spools only on one side outside the enclosure, you can use just one grommet.
⬢Using the Allen key, remove the print support from both MMU-grommets.
⬢Secure the PTFE tube by tightening the M3x12 screws. Don't over-tighten the screw. Excessive friction in the PTFE might cause issues during the printing later.
As an example, you can use the arrangement tested by us, which you can see in the picture.
