REFERENCE PAGE FOR PARTS ASSEMBLY OF THE TOP VORTEX
Step 1
Take a top vertex. The side having the hex-
agonal groove in the center is on the bot-
tom. (See gure 1.1).
Then attach M4*10 screws into the 4 holes
in the ank from the inside, As well as the
back hole of the Vertex .
After that, put on the M4 square nuts from
the outside (attention: only turning nut ap-
proximately 3 times, they should be loose.)
(As gure 1.2)
Repeat this step for the remaining vertexes.

are interchangeable, please follow the instruc-
tions and use M4 square nuts instead.

Step 2
Lay the top vertex on a at surface. The side
with the hexagonal groove being on bot-
tom. Slide short short V rail in the ank of
the vertex. (These should easily slide on due
to the screws being loose).
Using the M2.5 Allen Key fasten the screws
tightly from the inside. (As gure 1.4).
Figure 1.3
Figure 1.4
Step 3
Next, assemble the remaining top Vertexes
with the short V rail, similar to steps 1 & 2.
Attention: the bottom of the vertex is the
side with hexagonal grooves. (As gure 1.4)
Step 4
Sequence 3 assembled top Vertexes like
Figure 1.5, then put them together slowly.
Finally, tighten the remaining screws.
Figure 1.5
Step 5
Install the 608 bearing as per Figure 1.6.
Hold the vertex upright to assist alignment
of the M3 nut on top of the 608 Bearing.
Next, place the M3*20 screw under the 608
Bearing using the Allen key to tighten.
Repeat step for the remaining 2 sides to
complete. (Figure 1.7)
NOTE: Do not overtighten the assembly. Make
sure the bearing is secure but also rotating
smoothly.

ASSEMBLY OF THE BOTTOM VERTEX
Materials needed for assembly
M4*10 screws (30)
M4 square nuts (32)
M4*8 screws (2)
Short V rail (6)
Makeboard (1)
Bottom vertex (3)
Step 1
The bottom Vertex is assembled similar as
the top Vertex.
Attach 10 pairs of M4*10 screws and M4
square nuts on all 3 Vertexes. 8 pairs on the
ank and 2 pairs on the back. (Fig 1.8)
Figure 1.8

Step 2
Before sliding together the short V rails,
attach the Makeboard to one of the short
V rails using 2 M4*8 screws and M4 square
nuts. Make sure the mounting holes on the
side of the USB input are used to mount the
Makeboard (See Figure 1.9).
Figure 1.9
Step 3
Assemble the short V rails to the 3 bottom
Vertexes just like the top Vertex. Be sure
the Makeboard connection holes are facing
outwards (i.e away from the center of the
vertexes), and tighten the screws to secure.
(Figure 1.10)
The makeboard should sit between the V
rails.

NOTE: M4 T nuts were used instead of M4
square nuts in the gure below. Although they
are interchangeable, please follow the instruc-
tions and use M4 square nuts instead.
NOTE: The small hole on each of the vertices
designates the bottom of the vertex. Ensure
that the orientation of the hole is the same for
all 3 vertices.
NOTE: The small hole on each of the vertice
designates the bottom of the vertex. Ensure
that the orientation of the hole is the same for
all 3 vertices.
Make sure that the vrails are ush with the
bottom vertice.

ASSEMBLY OF AXIS MOTORS
Materials needed for assembly
Timing wheel (3)
Axis stepper motor (3)
M3*8 screws (12)
Step 1
Take a stepper motor and place a timing
wheel on the shaft of the motor.
Figure 2.0
Step 2
The set screw of the stepper gear should
correspond with the at groove on the mo-
tor shaft (see gure 2.1)
The set screw is already included in the tim-
ing wheel.

Step 3
Tighten the set screw of the timing wheel
using a 1.5mm allen key so it is secured at
the base of the groove in the shaft (i.e there
should be a 3mm distance between the top
of the stepper motor shaft and the stepper
gear).
Ensure that the set screw is tight. GearRev
recommends the application of thread lock
on the set screws.
Step 4
Repeat steps for the 2 remaining axis step-
per motors.
Step 5
Attach stepper motor to the bottom vertex
with the wires facing down.
To start, position the stepper motor in the
vertex as seen in gure 2.2.

Make sure to use the non-ball end of the 1.5mm allen key
to tighten the set screw. This step is very important as a loose
timing wheel may lead to slippage in future operation.
14 15
Step 6
Position 4 M3*8 screws in the coordinating
holes and begin to screw manually rst to
avoid damage to motor.
Step 7
Use a 2.5 allen key against the grooves in
vertex to tighten the M3*8 screws to secure
the stepper motor in place.
Step 8
Repeat steps for the two remaining 2 step-
per motors.
ASSEMBLY OF LONG LONG V RAILS
Materials needed for assembly
Long V rails (3)
Terminal block (3)
limit switches (3)
M4 square nut (3)
M4*10 screw (3)
M2.5*16 screw (6)
Step 1
Assembly of Limit switches
Tighten the M4 square nut with the M4*10
screw in the grove of the terminal block
(3.1)
Attach the limit switch to the terminal block
by screwing 2 M2.5*16 screws in their cor-
responding holes (3.2) (attention, not too
tightly to damage spring inside).
Repeat step for remaining 2 limit switches.

Step 2
Long V rails
Insert three 2020*680mm long V rails to
their corresponding slots in the bottom
vertex.
Once in place, tighten the M4 screws to se-
cure long V rails. (Figure 3.3)
Figure 3.3
Step 3
Wiring
Next, slide the wire attached to the limit
switch down the hole of the Long V rail and
guide the wire through the hole in the ver-
tex (Figure 3.4 & 3.5)
Repeat for remaining long V rails.

Step 4
Linear rails
Assemble the three linear rails with sliders
by attaching 4 M3*8 screws and 4 M3 T nuts
to each rail (Figure 3.6).
Place screws on holes 1, 7, 12, & 18 of the
linear rail. (See Figure 3.7)
Be sure to leave the screws and nuts loose
for easy attachment to the long V rail. Figure 3.6

Step 5
Secure
Slide the linear rails onto the long V rail
grooves, securing them temporarily while
we attach the limit switch in place.
Secure the limit switch 5cm below the top of
the V rail groove (see gure 3.9)
Slide the linear rails up, securing them right
below the limit switch (See gure 3.8).

ASSEMBLY OF THE EFFECTOR
Step 1
Print Head
Assemble the print head with the heating
rod by inserting the heating rod and tem-
perature head into the two corresponding
holes of the heating aluminum block (See
gure 4.1). The set screw under the heating
block may need to be loosened in order to
insert the heating rod and the thermistor.
The ends of the heating rod should be sym-
metrical on either side of the hole. Make
sure the thermistor is inserted well into its
designated hole.
Secure in place by tightening the set screw
with a 1.5mm allen key. Be gentle to not
damage the wire inside.
