⬢For the next steps, please prepare:
⬢MINI-base-spool-holder (4x)
⬢MINI-rail-spool-holder (2x)
⬢M3x12 screw (4x)
⬢M3x8 screw (4x)
⬢M3n nut (4x)
The list continues in the next step...
⬢For the following steps, please prepare:
⬢Bearing 608Z (4x)
⬢Anti-vibration pad (4x)
⬢Take two of the BASE parts and insert the M3n nuts into the holes in both of them - see the picture (they are identical). If you can't push them in, insert a screw from the opposite side to pull them in.
⬢Flip one of the BASE parts and insert two bearings in it.
⬢Put the second BASE part on top of the bearings.
⬢Insert the M3x12 screw from the top and tighten it. Flip the base assembly over and do the same.
⬢Make sure both bearings can rotate freely. If not, release the screw(s) slightly.
⬢Repeat this step for the second base assembly.
⬢Slide both rails in the first base assembly, use the grooves. Align the rail with the edge of the base.
⬢Secure the first base with two M3x8 screws. Use a reasonable force during the tightening.
⬢Slide the second base onto the rails. The exact position is not important at this point - we will adjust it in the next step.
⬢Place a spool of the filament you wish to use in the spool holder. Align the second base to match the size of the spool. We are using a spool of Prusament as an example.
⬢Once the holder is aligned, remove the spool, insert two M3x8 screws and tighten them to prevent the parts from moving.
⬢Grab the bundled anti-slip board and break out four pads.
⬢Peel off the protective film and attach the pads from the bottom side of the spool holder.
Tip: avoid attaching the pads near or on the rails, it might make future width adjustments harder.
⬢You just finished the Spool holder assembly. That was fast!
⬢Eat the fifth row.
⬢Check the final look, compare it to the picture.
⬢That was easy, wasn't it? ;) Now it's finally time for the last chapter: 7. Preflight check
