⬢Peel off one of the individual adhesive xReflector sticker.

⬢Position the xReflector sticker strip so that it lines up with one side and both the edges of the "gutter" in the xLCD-cover. Continue to lay down the xReflector sticker strip towards the other side of the gutter.

⬢Press the xReflector sticker strip all the way into the gutter so it adheres to the xlcd-cover.

⬢Place the xLCD-support-right onto the USB-connector-side of the xLCD board. Notice there is a small hook that goes around the circuit board.

⬢Line up the hole in the plastic part with the hole in the xLCD board.

⬢Insert the xLCD with the xLCD-support-right still hooked on, into the xLCD-cover. Note the recess for the xLCD-support-right in the xLCD-cover. The support must perfectly fit into the recess.

⬢Secure the xLCD-support-right and the xLCD board with the M3x8 screw.

⬢Attach the PE Faston on the top left hole in the xLCD.

⬢Orient PE Faston according to the picture. The bent part must point to the right - to the triangle symbol.

⬢Maintain the position and secure the PE Faston with the M3x8 screw.

⬢Attach the xLCD-support-left on the xLCD board and align it with two holes in the board.

⬢Secure both parts together with two M3x8 screws.

⬢PE cable 460/420 mm (1x)

⬢xLCD cable (1x)

⬢xLCD-knob(1x)

⬢M3x10 screw (4x)

⬢Connect the xLCD cable to the xLCD board. Note the safety latch on the xLCD cable connector. It must be plugged into the side of the xLCD slot marked with the triangle symbol on the board.

⬢Take the end of the PE cable with square connector. Slide the connector onto the PE Faston all the way down.

⬢Now, go to step 21. Attaching the knob where the instructions are common for both versions of xLCD.  However, keep in mind that some of the parts may be visually different.

⬢Peel off one of the individual adhesive xReflector sticker.

⬢Position the xReflector sticker strip so that it lines up with one side and both the edges of the "gutter" in the xLCD-cover. Continue to lay down the xReflector sticker strip towards the other side of the gutter.

⬢Press the xReflector sticker strip all the way into the gutter so it adheres to the xlcd-cover.

⬢Insert the M3n nut into the corresponding opening in the xLCD-cover.

⬢Place the xLCD-support-right onto the USB-connector-side of the xLCD board. Notice there is a small hook that goes around the circuit board.

⬢Line up the hole in the plastic part with the hole in the xLCD board.

⬢Insert the xLCD with the xLCD-support-right still hooked on, into the xLCD-cover. Note the recess for the xLCD-support-right in the xLCD-cover. The support must perfectly fit into the recess.

Make sure the hook on the xLCD-support-right holds onto the xLCD now. Otherwise, you won't be able to attach it later.

⬢Secure the xLCD-support-right and the xLCD board with two M3x8rT screws.

⬢Attach the xLCD-support-left on the xLCD board and align it with three holes in the board.

⬢Insert the PE Faston between the xLCD-support-left and the xLCD board. Align it with the hole and point the PE Faston slightly diagonally as you see in the picture.

⬢Secure all parts together with three M3x8rT screws.

⬢PE cable 460/420 mm (1x)

⬢xLCD cable (1x)

⬢xLCD-knob(1x)

⬢M3x10 screw (4x)

⬢Connect the xLCD cable to the xLCD board. Note the safety latch on the xLCD cable connector. It must be plugged into the side of the xLCD slot marked with the orange triangle on the board.

⬢Take the end of the PE cable with square connector. Slide the connector onto the PE Faston all the way down.

⬢Bend the PE Faston down slightly so that it does not protrude too far from the back of the display. Curve the cable according to the drawing on the board.

The following steps are common for both xLCD versions. However, keep in mind that some of the parts may be visually different.

⬢Attach and push the xLCD-knob onto the xLCD encoder pin.

⬢There are four holes in the front plate of the printer's frame. Insert four M3x10 screws through each of them from the inner side.

⬢Guide the xLCD and PE cables under the front plate to the frame.

⬢Tighten up all four screws.

⬢PSU-cover (1x)

⬢M3x10 screw (2x)

⬢xBuddy power cable (2x)

⬢Power panic cable (1x)

⬢Zip tie (4x)

⬢Place the printer so that you have easy access to the bottom side of the PSU.

⬢Remove the left screw on the PSU circuit board. Note there is a washer on the screw.  Do not throw the screw away, you will need it later.

⬢Place the single end of the PE (not the forked end) cable into the same place you have removed the screw. Secure the cable by re-using the screw together with the washer.

⬢Guide the PE cable so that it does not interfere with the threaded column under the PE connector.

In the following steps, we will be connecting the power cables one by one. The terminal screws are installed on the PSU already. Loosen them but don't remove them completely so they don't get mixed up with the other type of screws used on the xBuddy board side of the cable. Each of the two power cables has two leads.
One has a prevailing red color = positive / + 
One has a prevailing black color = negative / - 

⬢Note that the power cables have different connectors on each end. For now, prepare the U-shaped connectors (crimping tube color may vary).

The red cable (positive) may have a black stripe on it. Similarly, the black cable (negative) can have a red stripe on it.

⬢Take the BLACK wires and slide them all the way into the last two (negative) terminals. Make sure the steel washer is above the "fork" connector.

⬢Tighten the terminal screws firmly.

⬢Connect the power panic cable into the PSU. Use the side with the black connector at the end.

⬢Place the psu cover over the power terminals. Make sure the "PRUSA" logo is facing upwards.

⬢Take a look from the bottom of the PSU and guide all the PSU cables through the cable clips according to the picture.

⬢Slide the zip tie through the circular holes in the frame to create a loop on both sides of the frame so that the cable goes through both the loops.

⬢Start tightening the zip tie so it is snug and holds the wires on both sides. Be careful not to over-tighten the zip tie as it could damage the wires. Cut off the remaining part of the zip tie very carefully.

⬢Continue downwards and using another zip tie create the next loop.

⬢Guide the Z-axis cable and all cables from the PSU through the zip tie.

⬢Place the PE and power cables at the bottom of the 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.

⬢Secure it with another zip tie to the frame.

⬢Carefully guide and fold the xLCD cable under the cable bundle. Do not include the xLCD cable in the cable bundle. Leave it free for now.

⬢Guide the PE cable from the xLCD through the cutout in the frame and include it in the cable bundle.

⬢Secure the cable bundle with the zip tie.

⬢Guide all cables from the PSU through the cable-clip. Leave the ends of the cables free for now.

⬢Connect the X motor cable to the first slot from the left on the top of the xBuddy.

⬢Connect the Y motor cable to the second slot from the left on the top of the xBuddy. Guide the cable alongside the xBuddy box over the zip ties.

⬢Power terminal screw 6/32" (4x)

⬢M3x6 screw (1x)

⬢M3w washer (1x)

⬢Zip tie (3x)

⬢Connect the power panic cable to the white connector on the bottom of the xBuddy board.

⬢Secure all power cable connectors with the terminal screws. Tighten the screws firmly.

⬢Push the zip tie through the frame under the Z motor left.

⬢Guide the Z motor left cable through the cutout in the frame to the xBuddy box.

⬢Carefully tighten the zip tie. Cut off the excess of the zip tie.

⬢Connect the xLCD to the slot on the right side of the xBuddy. Note the safety latch on the xLCD cable connector. The latch must fit into the upper side of the connector.

⬢Arrange the xLCD cable like in the picture. The xLCD must covering the cable bundle. Tighten the cable bundle with the first two zip ties in the bottom of the xBuddy box. Do not overtighten the zip ties!

⬢Connect the extruder main cable to the slot in the right side of the xBuddy.

⬢Arrange the cable according to the picture. Tighten the cable bundle (extruder main cable and the motor cables) with the two upper zip ties. Do not overtighten the zip ties!
