= Assembly Steps =<br />
Assembling a Titan Aero has many aspects in common with both a Titan extruder and V6 hotend. This assembly guide comprehensively covers the assembly of a Titan Aero, however if you require any additional information, the assembly guides for Titan and V6 are a good place to start.<br />
<br />
== Hot Side ==<br />
=== Mechanical Assembly ===<br />
[[File:AeroInsertNozzle.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Screw the nozzle into the heater block into the end with the holes for securing the heater and sensor cartridges.<br />
Unscrew the nozzle a 1/4 to a 1/2 turn.<br />
[[File:AeroInsertBreak.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Screw the heat break into the other side of the heater block so it is butts up against the nozzle.<br />
<br />
[[File:AeroFirstTighten.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Gripping the heater block with a spanner, tighten the nozzle with a second spanner. '''Do not over-tighten, we are going to tighten it up later when the heater block is hot.'''<br />
<br />
=== Thermistor Cartridge ===<br />
[[File:sensor-insertion.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Simply slide the sensor cartridge into the heater block and use the supplied M3 grub screw to fix the cartridge into place. Tighten the grub screw until it just touches up against the cartridge, then do one more half turn. <br />
<br />
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">It is important not to over-tighten the screw against the relatively soft copper cartridge, doing so can cause a range of annoying problems</span><br />
* <span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Deformation of the cartridge making it hard to remove at a later date.</span><br />
* <span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Cracking of the potting ceramic resulting in poorer thermal response or in extreme circumstances, short circuit.</span><br />
<br />
Titan Aero is supplied with a thermistor cartridge, however PT100 and thermocouple cartridges are also available for more accuracy and higher temperature applications, for more information consult the Temperature Sensor Documentation.<br />
<br />
[[File:sensor insert.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
=== Heater Cartridge ===<br />
If you have one, grab a multimeter and check the resistance of your heater cartridge against the values below. Expect your value to deviate a little from these, a difference of around plus or minus 5W is fine, however if yours is significantly off or you are concerned you have the wrong cartridge please get in touch. <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
|- style="border: 1px solid black;"<br />
| P\V|| 12v || 24v<br />
|-<br />
| 30w (Blue Leads) || 4.8Ω || 19.2Ω<br />
|}<br />
<br />
[[File:HeaterClamped.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Insert the Heater Cartridge with the leads exiting the block the same side as the thermistor. Centre the cartridge in it's hole in the block.<br />
<br />
Tighten the clamping portion of the heater block around the heater cartridge with the M3x10 screw. As in the photo below you should be able to see very slight deformation of the heater block clamp as it wraps around the cartridge for maximum thermal contact.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The manufacturing process for heater cartridges often results in a degree of irregularity in both diameter and roundness. This is why we use a clamp, to accomodate this and ensure that in spite of the variation we get maximum thermal contact. If you do struggle to get a firm clamp on the cartridge try rotating it. A washer under the head of the M3 screw will enable you to get a much higher clamping load.<br />
<br />
=== Thermal Compound ===<br />
<br />
[[File:AeroAddCompound.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Use the supplied sachet of thermal compound and apply an even coat of compound to the heatbreak's threads, this will improve thermal performance. The compound should not be used on any of the threads on the hot-side of the heat-break. The small sachet of compound contains more than is needed for one hotend, so don't feel like you need to use all of it. If you do apply too much, some compound may seep out, wipe any excess compound away with a tissue before it has time to dry out.<br />
<br />
[[File:v6 Assembly - TightenAerosink.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Screw the Aero heatsink onto the heat break by gripping the heatsink in one hand and the heater block in the other. It only needs to be tightened up hand-tight. Do not over tighten.<br />
<br />
== Extruder & Cold Side ==<br />
=== Extruder Body ===<br />
When installing a Titan, be it with and Aero hotend or otherwise a spacer is always required between the motor and the extruder body:<br />
* The spacer must be at least 2mm thick. This ensures that the pinion gear clears the face of the motor. <br />
* The E3D Titan bracket sold in our store is 2mm thick, the model of this part can also be downloaded from [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1477900 Thingiverse]. <br />
* If your mounting circumstances mean the extruder will be held less than 2mm off the face of the motor, you need to print a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer].<br />
* If your mounting circumstances requires more than 2mm then you will need to use the longer mounting screws. <br />
* If you run into problems with the screws being too long, you will also need a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer]<br />
* Here is a list of through-hole mounting thicknesses and associated screw lengths & spacer thicknesses you will need.<br />
** 2mm - Short Screws - No Spacer<br />
** 3mm - Long Screws - 4mm Spacer<br />
** 4mm - Long Screws - 3mm Spacer<br />
** 5mm - Long Screws - 2mm Spacer<br />
** 6mm - Long Screws - 1mm Spacer<br />
** 7mm - Long Screws - No Spacer<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-AFFIX-BODY.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
* Use the M3 x 8 or M3 x 12 screw to hold the extruder body in place.<br />
<br />
=== Gears ===<br />
[[File:TITAN-FLUSH-GEARS.png|center|400px|]]<br />
[[File:TITAN-FLUSH-GEARS-PHOTO.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
* Screw the M3 grub screw loosely into the steel pinion gear. <br />
* Slide the steel gear onto the motor shaft, oriented such that the grub screw is closest to the motor. <br />
** To set the height of the steel gear, drop the acetal gear with filament drive shaft into the bearing, then line up the top surfaces (facing away from the motor) of the gears so that they are flush. <br />
** To ensure that positioning is accurate, squeeze the assembly together to ensure that the everything is sitting where it will be once it’s all tightened up. <br />
* Tighten the grub screw to secure the steel gear in place. If your motor shaft has a flat section do tighten the grub screw down onto the flat for optimal grip.<br />
<br />
=== Idler Lever ===<br />
[[File:AERO-THUMB-OR-PAN.jpg||center|800px|]]<br />
<br />
There are 2 options for adjusting the tension on a Titan. An M4 button head screw (left) or an M4 thumbscrew (right). The thumbscrew allows you to adjust the tension without tools whereas the button head does not, however it is more compact. Otherwise they are functionally the same, so the choice is purely your own preference.<br />
<br />
* Screw the M4 nut all the way onto the M4 screw or thumbscrew. <br />
* Locate the spring around the threaded part of the screw.<br />
* Drop this assembly into the nut-channel in the extruder body. <br />
* <span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Warning: Do not compress the spring without the lid on, and always ensure the idler tension is set to minimum before removing the lid.</span> Failure to do so can cause the spring / screw to pop out and fly to the other side of the room. In the best-case this will be a waste your time spent looking for it, worst-case it may hit someone in the face. <br />
* Slide the idler lever onto the motor shaft, ensuring that the spring locates onto the bump on the back of the idler.<br />
* Slide the nylon spacer on to the end of the motor shaft, this is to constrain idler lever along the length of the motor shaft.<br />
[[File:AERO-IDLER.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
=== Bearing ===<br />
[[File:AERO-BEARING.png|center|500px|]]<br />
Insert the 9mm diameter bearing into the the back of the Aero heatsink, this is designed to be a tight fit but you should be able to push it in by hand.<br />
<br />
=== Filament Guide ===<br />
There is a slight difference between 1.75mm and 3mm systems for this step. <br />
<br />
==== 1.75mm ====<br />
[[File:AERO-HEATBREAK-PTFE.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Cut a 23mm length of PTFE and insert it fully into the top of the heatbreak. To reduce the possibility of jams, ensure that both ends of the PTFE are cut squarely and the ends are not deformed, we recommend using a sharp knife rather than scissors for this.<br />
<br />
[[File:AERO-FILAMENT-GUIDE.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Slide the 1.75mm filament guide over the protruding PTFE, ensure that the guide sits flush against the Aero sink.<br />
<br />
==== 3mm ====<br />
The 3mm filament guide does not require any PTFE between it and the heatbreak. Simply hold the filament guide in the same location as the 1.75mm instructions, when the assembly is screwed together it will be constrained in place against the Aero heatsink and the Titan body.<br />
<br />
=== Aero Sink ===<br />
[[File:AERO-CLOSE.png|center|400px|]]<br />
The 2 halves of the assembly can now be screwed together, using the either the 30mm or 35mm screws as explained in [[Titan_Aero#Extruder_Body|Extruder Body]].<br />
* Screw in the bottom left, top left and top right positions with your chosen screw length.<br />
* Use the remaining M3x25mm screw to attach the bottom right corner. This screws into the brass insert in the back of the extruder body, so is independent of which ever length screws you are using for the other 3 corners.<br />
<br />
=== Fan ===<br />
[[File:AERO-FAN.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Place the fan on top of the heatsink fins and use the 2.9x13mm self tapping screws to secure it in place. Do not over-tighten the screws as this can crack the fan.<br />
<br />
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold"> Note: For the Titan Aero to dissipate heat efficiently there needs to be adequate airflow over the heatsink, as such when deciding how to mount the extruder it is best to not over enclose it.</span><br />
<br />
=== Gear Alignment Check ===<br />
Now that you have completed the assembly, check that the large Acetal gear moves smoothly and that it fully meshes with the steel gear. <br />
<br />
* If the gear is hard to move, loosen off the corresponding M3 screw in the Aero sink until it moves freely. <br />
** If the gear is still hard to move - check the position of the steel pinion gear, it may be too far forward.<br />
* If the gear exhibits “backlash” (improper meshing), loosen all screws on the lid and rotate the body such that the gears fully mesh. Re-tighten up the screws on the lid.<br />
<br />
=== PTFE in Idler ===<br />
[[File:TITAN-AERO-IDLER.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
When the extruder is ready to use, ensure that you put a piece of 4mm OD, 2mm ID PTFE tubing into the hole in the top of the idler. This will provide guidance for the filament. Without this, the filament risks coming off the hobbed area of the extruder. This is not required for 3mm filament.<br />
<br />
== Firmware ==<br />
Before running the extruder, updates may need to be made to the firmware for both the extruder and the hotend.<br />
<br />
=== Extruder ===<br />
Ensure that the extruder steps per mm value is correct in the firmware so that your printer extrudes the correct ammount of filament.<br />
<br />
As Titan uses a known gearing ratio and a consistently machined drive gear, we can offer a fairly accurate steps / mm set-point.<br />
<br />
Steps per Unit (Extruder) = Motor Steps * Micro-stepping * Gear Ratio / (Hobb Diameter * Pi)<br />
<br />
* Standard motor steps / rev = 400 for the motor that is supplied as an option with Titan<br />
* Standard micro-stepping = 16x <br />
* Gear Ratio = 3<br />
* Hobb Diameter (Effective) = 7.3<br />
<br />
400 * 16 * 3 / (7.3 * 3.142) = 837<br />
<br />
To test your value, mark the filament 120mm from the extruder then extrude 100mm slowly. Measure the new distance to the mark if you do not measure 20mm after extrusion has finished, you may need to tweak this value accordingly.<br />
<br />
=== Hotend ===<br />
Ensure that your firmware settings are correct for the hotend's temperature sensor. The [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Configure_Firmware_.28Easy.21.29|E3D-v6 Firmware Configuration]] section shows how to implement this for the supplied thermistor sensor on a range of common firmwares.<br />
<br />
= Before first use =<br />
== PID Tuning ==<br />
PID Tuning ensures that the hotend gets up to temperature correctly, with minimal overshoot and oscillation.<br />
<br />
* Connect to the printer<br />
* Run M303 to autotune your PID - check out [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APzJfYAgFkQ Thomas Sanladerer's video guide] for more information. Please note that not all firmwares support autotune, and you may need to tune manually.<br />
* Set the HotEnd temperature to 285ºC. If you did not do a PID tune, then approach this temperature slowly, exceeding 295ºC may permanently damage the thermistor.<br />
<br />
== Final Hot Tigthening ==<br />
As the components of the hotend will expand as they get up to printing temperatures, the hotend must be re-tightened while hot to prevent leaking of plastic.<br />
* Set the hotend to 285ºC<br />
* When the hotend is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner.<br />
* You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle, this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner.<br />
<br />
Your extruder is now ready to use. Happy Printing!<br />
<br />
= Usage = <br />
== Loading and Unloading Filament ==<br />
<br />
'''To load filament'''<br />
[[File:Loosen-Idler.png|center|200px|]]<br />
* Slightly reduce the idler force by turning the adjustment wheel clockwise.<br />
[[File:Insert-Filament.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Feed the filament through the top of the idler.<br />
[[File:Release-Idler.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Pull the idler back and continue to feed the filament into the extruder.<br />
[[File:Rotate-Gear.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Rotate the large gear by hand to feed the filament the remainder of the way into the hotend. You will know you have reached the hotend as the gear will start to put up more resistance.<br />
<br />
'''To unload filament, simply do the loading procedure in reverse.'''<br />
<br />
== Adjusting Idler Force ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Idler-Force.png|center|800px|]]<br />
<br />
The idler force can be adjusted using the thumb wheel on the side of the extruder. The nut and spring that actually apply the force can be viewed through the lid, giving a quick indicator of the force being applied.<br />
<br />
The force required will depend on a range of parameters, such as filament material, filament diameter, extrusion rate etc. As a general rule softer filaments (such as flexibles) will need less force than harder ones as the hobb can more easily grip them. The idler force does not need to be perfect in order to print, however to get the best settings for your printer and material combination we advise a little bit of experimentation to find a setting that feels right.<br />
<br />
== Extruder Troubleshooting ==<br />
==="Clicking" sound during retractions===<br />
<br />
If you can hear the gears clicking against each other during printing (normally on retraction) this is most likely caused by backlash (the gears being able to move very slightly, independently of one and other). You can check for this by trying to move the large gear by hand, it will probably move freely over a very small angle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Titan-poor-mesh.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Backlash is caused by poor gear alignment, a highly exaggerated example of this is shown in the picture. The fix is simple, loosen the 3 screws that hold the body to the motor and rotate the extruder such that the gears are fully meshed. You know they are fully meshed when the large gear is no longer able to move freely. Re-tighten the screws on the lid and the problem should be fixed. <br />
<br />
If you are unable to get the gears to fully mesh by removing the screws on the lid, it may be necessary to loosen the screw behind the groove-mount and adjust the body position.<br />
<br />
===Filament slipping off hobbed area of Filament Drive Shaft===<br />
<br />
* Ensure the PTFE is installed in the idler.<br />
* Ensure that the steel pinion gear is not too far back towards the motor, allowing the idler to slide back and forth along the motor shaft.<br />
<br />
===Drive gear hard to turn with heatsink screwed down===<br />
<br />
Be sure that the steel pinion gear is not above the height of the Acetal gear. If it is, the idler will pinch it when the lid is fitted.<br />
<br />
== Hotend Guidance ==<br />
In general the E3D-v6 hotend is highly tolerant of most printing conditions and is designed to accept the vast majority of filaments on the market. There are however some things to be aware of:<br />
<br />
* Filament must be within acceptable diameter tolerance. For 1.75mm this means 1.70mm - 1.80mm and for 3.00mm/2.85mm the filament must be between 2.80mm and 3.05mm<br />
* Excessively long retractions will cause issues by dragging soft filament into cold areas. E3D-v6 hotends need less retraction than most hotends. For direct extrusion systems you should use anywhere from 0.5mm-1.0mm, for bowden systems you might want to go up to 2mm. Retraction beyond 2mm is likely to cause issues.<br />
* The heatsink must be cooled! Heated chambers, fan ducts that restrict flow, and not having the fan running at 100% at all times are common causes of issues. The heatsink should be cool to the touch at all times. If your heatsink is warm to the touch then you have a cooling issue that must be addressed.<br />

= Assembly Steps =<br />
Assembling a Titan Aero has many aspects in common with both a Titan extruder and V6 hotend. This assembly guide comprehensively covers the assembly of a Titan Aero, however if you require any additional information, the assembly guides for Titan and V6 are a good place to start.<br />
<br />
== Hot Side ==<br />
=== Mechanical Assembly ===<br />
[[File:AeroInsertNozzle.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Screw the nozzle into the heater block into the end with the holes for securing the heater and sensor cartridges.<br />
Unscrew the nozzle a 1/4 to a 1/2 turn.<br />
[[File:AeroInsertBreak.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Screw the heat break into the other side of the heater block so it is butts up against the nozzle.<br />
<br />
[[File:AeroFirstTighten.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Gripping the heater block with a spanner, tighten the nozzle with a second spanner. '''Do not over-tighten, we are going to tighten it up later when the heater block is hot.'''<br />
<br />
=== Thermistor Cartridge ===<br />
[[File:sensor-insertion.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Simply slide the sensor cartridge into the heater block and use the supplied M3 grub screw to fix the cartridge into place. Tighten the grub screw until it just touches up against the cartridge, then do one more half turn. <br />
<br />
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">It is important not to over-tighten the screw against the relatively soft copper cartridge, doing so can cause a range of annoying problems</span><br />
* <span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Deformation of the cartridge making it hard to remove at a later date.</span><br />
* <span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Cracking of the potting ceramic resulting in poorer thermal response or in extreme circumstances, short circuit.</span><br />
<br />
Titan Aero is supplied with a thermistor cartridge, however PT100 and thermocouple cartridges are also available for more accuracy and higher temperature applications, for more information consult the Temperature Sensor Documentation.<br />
<br />
[[File:sensor insert.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
=== Heater Cartridge ===<br />
If you have one, grab a multimeter and check the resistance of your heater cartridge against the values below. Expect your value to deviate a little from these, a difference of around plus or minus 5W is fine, however if yours is significantly off or you are concerned you have the wrong cartridge please get in touch. <br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

| P\V|| 12v || 24v<br />

| 30w (Blue Leads) || 4.8Ω || 19.2Ω<br />
|}<br />
<br />
[[File:HeaterClamped.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Insert the Heater Cartridge with the leads exiting the block the same side as the thermistor. Centre the cartridge in it's hole in the block.<br />
<br />
Tighten the clamping portion of the heater block around the heater cartridge with the M3x10 screw. As in the photo below you should be able to see very slight deformation of the heater block clamp as it wraps around the cartridge for maximum thermal contact.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The manufacturing process for heater cartridges often results in a degree of irregularity in both diameter and roundness. This is why we use a clamp, to accomodate this and ensure that in spite of the variation we get maximum thermal contact. If you do struggle to get a firm clamp on the cartridge try rotating it. A washer under the head of the M3 screw will enable you to get a much higher clamping load.<br />
<br />
=== Thermal Compound ===<br />
<br />
[[File:AeroAddCompound.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Use the supplied sachet of thermal compound and apply an even coat of compound to the heatbreak's threads, this will improve thermal performance. The compound should not be used on any of the threads on the hot-side of the heat-break. The small sachet of compound contains more than is needed for one hotend, so don't feel like you need to use all of it. If you do apply too much, some compound may seep out, wipe any excess compound away with a tissue before it has time to dry out.<br />
<br />
[[File:v6 Assembly - TightenAerosink.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
Screw the Aero heatsink onto the heat break by gripping the heatsink in one hand and the heater block in the other. It only needs to be tightened up hand-tight. Do not over tighten.<br />
<br />
== Extruder & Cold Side ==<br />
=== Extruder Body ===<br />
When installing a Titan, be it with and Aero hotend or otherwise a spacer is always required between the motor and the extruder body:<br />
* The spacer must be at least 2mm thick. This ensures that the pinion gear clears the face of the motor. <br />
* The E3D Titan bracket sold in our store is 2mm thick, the model of this part can also be downloaded from [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1477900 Thingiverse]. <br />
* If your mounting circumstances mean the extruder will be held less than 2mm off the face of the motor, you need to print a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer].<br />
* If your mounting circumstances requires more than 2mm then you will need to use the longer mounting screws. <br />
* If you run into problems with the screws being too long, you will also need a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer]<br />
* Here is a list of through-hole mounting thicknesses and associated screw lengths & spacer thicknesses you will need.<br />
** 2mm - Short Screws - No Spacer<br />
** 3mm - Long Screws - 4mm Spacer<br />
** 4mm - Long Screws - 3mm Spacer<br />
** 5mm - Long Screws - 2mm Spacer<br />
** 6mm - Long Screws - 1mm Spacer<br />
** 7mm - Long Screws - No Spacer<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-AFFIX-BODY.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
* Use the M3 x 8 or M3 x 12 screw to hold the extruder body in place.<br />
<br />
=== Gears ===<br />
[[File:TITAN-FLUSH-GEARS.png|center|400px|]]<br />
[[File:TITAN-FLUSH-GEARS-PHOTO.jpg|center|400px|]]<br />
* Screw the M3 grub screw loosely into the steel pinion gear. <br />
* Slide the steel gear onto the motor shaft, oriented such that the grub screw is closest to the motor. <br />
** To set the height of the steel gear, drop the acetal gear with filament drive shaft into the bearing, then line up the top surfaces (facing away from the motor) of the gears so that they are flush. <br />
** To ensure that positioning is accurate, squeeze the assembly together to ensure that the everything is sitting where it will be once it’s all tightened up. <br />
* Tighten the grub screw to secure the steel gear in place. If your motor shaft has a flat section do tighten the grub screw down onto the flat for optimal grip.<br />
<br />
=== Idler Lever ===<br />
[[File:AERO-THUMB-OR-PAN.jpg||center|800px|]]<br />
<br />
There are 2 options for adjusting the tension on a Titan. An M4 button head screw (left) or an M4 thumbscrew (right). The thumbscrew allows you to adjust the tension without tools whereas the button head does not, however it is more compact. Otherwise they are functionally the same, so the choice is purely your own preference.<br />
<br />
* Screw the M4 nut all the way onto the M4 screw or thumbscrew. <br />
* Locate the spring around the threaded part of the screw.<br />
* Drop this assembly into the nut-channel in the extruder body. <br />
* <span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Warning: Do not compress the spring without the lid on, and always ensure the idler tension is set to minimum before removing the lid.</span> Failure to do so can cause the spring / screw to pop out and fly to the other side of the room. In the best-case this will be a waste your time spent looking for it, worst-case it may hit someone in the face. <br />
* Slide the idler lever onto the motor shaft, ensuring that the spring locates onto the bump on the back of the idler.<br />
* Slide the nylon spacer on to the end of the motor shaft, this is to constrain idler lever along the length of the motor shaft.<br />
[[File:AERO-IDLER.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
=== Bearing ===<br />
[[File:AERO-BEARING.png|center|500px|]]<br />
Insert the 9mm diameter bearing into the the back of the Aero heatsink, this is designed to be a tight fit but you should be able to push it in by hand.<br />
<br />
=== Filament Guide ===<br />
There is a slight difference between 1.75mm and 3mm systems for this step. <br />
<br />
==== 1.75mm ====<br />
[[File:AERO-HEATBREAK-PTFE.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Cut a 23mm length of PTFE and insert it fully into the top of the heatbreak. To reduce the possibility of jams, ensure that both ends of the PTFE are cut squarely and the ends are not deformed, we recommend using a sharp knife rather than scissors for this.<br />
<br />
[[File:AERO-FILAMENT-GUIDE.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Slide the 1.75mm filament guide over the protruding PTFE, ensure that the guide sits flush against the Aero sink.<br />
<br />
==== 3mm ====<br />
The 3mm filament guide does not require any PTFE between it and the heatbreak. Simply hold the filament guide in the same location as the 1.75mm instructions, when the assembly is screwed together it will be constrained in place against the Aero heatsink and the Titan body.<br />
<br />
=== Aero Sink ===<br />
[[File:AERO-CLOSE.png|center|400px|]]<br />
The 2 halves of the assembly can now be screwed together, using the either the 30mm or 35mm screws as explained in [[Titan_Aero#Extruder_Body|Extruder Body]].<br />
* Screw in the bottom left, top left and top right positions with your chosen screw length.<br />
* Use the remaining M3x25mm screw to attach the bottom right corner. This screws into the brass insert in the back of the extruder body, so is independent of which ever length screws you are using for the other 3 corners.<br />
<br />
=== Fan ===<br />
[[File:AERO-FAN.png|center|400px|]]<br />
Place the fan on top of the heatsink fins and use the 2.9x13mm self tapping screws to secure it in place. Do not over-tighten the screws as this can crack the fan.<br />
<br />
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold"> Note: For the Titan Aero to dissipate heat efficiently there needs to be adequate airflow over the heatsink, as such when deciding how to mount the extruder it is best to not over enclose it.</span><br />
<br />
=== Gear Alignment Check ===<br />
Now that you have completed the assembly, check that the large Acetal gear moves smoothly and that it fully meshes with the steel gear. <br />
<br />
* If the gear is hard to move, loosen off the corresponding M3 screw in the Aero sink until it moves freely. <br />
** If the gear is still hard to move - check the position of the steel pinion gear, it may be too far forward.<br />
* If the gear exhibits “backlash” (improper meshing), loosen all screws on the lid and rotate the body such that the gears fully mesh. Re-tighten up the screws on the lid.<br />
<br />
=== PTFE in Idler ===<br />
[[File:TITAN-AERO-IDLER.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
When the extruder is ready to use, ensure that you put a piece of 4mm OD, 2mm ID PTFE tubing into the hole in the top of the idler. This will provide guidance for the filament. Without this, the filament risks coming off the hobbed area of the extruder. This is not required for 3mm filament.<br />
<br />
== Firmware ==<br />
Before running the extruder, updates may need to be made to the firmware for both the extruder and the hotend.<br />
<br />
=== Extruder ===<br />
Ensure that the extruder steps per mm value is correct in the firmware so that your printer extrudes the correct ammount of filament.<br />
<br />
As Titan uses a known gearing ratio and a consistently machined drive gear, we can offer a fairly accurate steps / mm set-point.<br />
<br />
Steps per Unit (Extruder) = Motor Steps * Micro-stepping * Gear Ratio / (Hobb Diameter * Pi)<br />
<br />
* Standard motor steps / rev = 400 for the motor that is supplied as an option with Titan<br />
* Standard micro-stepping = 16x <br />
* Gear Ratio = 3<br />
* Hobb Diameter (Effective) = 7.3<br />
<br />
400 * 16 * 3 / (7.3 * 3.142) = 837<br />
<br />
To test your value, mark the filament 120mm from the extruder then extrude 100mm slowly. Measure the new distance to the mark if you do not measure 20mm after extrusion has finished, you may need to tweak this value accordingly.<br />
<br />
=== Hotend ===<br />
Ensure that your firmware settings are correct for the hotend's temperature sensor. The [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Configure_Firmware_.28Easy.21.29|E3D-v6 Firmware Configuration]] section shows how to implement this for the supplied thermistor sensor on a range of common firmwares.<br />
<br />
= Before first use =<br />
== PID Tuning ==<br />
PID Tuning ensures that the hotend gets up to temperature correctly, with minimal overshoot and oscillation.<br />
<br />
* Connect to the printer<br />
* Run M303 to autotune your PID - check out [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APzJfYAgFkQ Thomas Sanladerer's video guide] for more information. Please note that not all firmwares support autotune, and you may need to tune manually.<br />
* Set the HotEnd temperature to 285ºC. If you did not do a PID tune, then approach this temperature slowly, exceeding 295ºC may permanently damage the thermistor.<br />
<br />
== Final Hot Tigthening ==<br />
As the components of the hotend will expand as they get up to printing temperatures, the hotend must be re-tightened while hot to prevent leaking of plastic.<br />
* Set the hotend to 285ºC<br />
* When the hotend is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner.<br />
* You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle, this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner.<br />
<br />
Your extruder is now ready to use. Happy Printing!<br />
<br />
= Usage = <br />
== Loading and Unloading Filament ==<br />
<br />
'''To load filament'''<br />
[[File:Loosen-Idler.png|center|200px|]]<br />
* Slightly reduce the idler force by turning the adjustment wheel clockwise.<br />
[[File:Insert-Filament.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Feed the filament through the top of the idler.<br />
[[File:Release-Idler.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Pull the idler back and continue to feed the filament into the extruder.<br />
[[File:Rotate-Gear.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Rotate the large gear by hand to feed the filament the remainder of the way into the hotend. You will know you have reached the hotend as the gear will start to put up more resistance.<br />
<br />
'''To unload filament, simply do the loading procedure in reverse.'''<br />
<br />
== Adjusting Idler Force ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Idler-Force.png|center|800px|]]<br />
<br />
The idler force can be adjusted using the thumb wheel on the side of the extruder. The nut and spring that actually apply the force can be viewed through the lid, giving a quick indicator of the force being applied.<br />
<br />
The force required will depend on a range of parameters, such as filament material, filament diameter, extrusion rate etc. As a general rule softer filaments (such as flexibles) will need less force than harder ones as the hobb can more easily grip them. The idler force does not need to be perfect in order to print, however to get the best settings for your printer and material combination we advise a little bit of experimentation to find a setting that feels right.<br />
<br />
== Extruder Troubleshooting ==<br />
==="Clicking" sound during retractions===<br />
<br />
If you can hear the gears clicking against each other during printing (normally on retraction) this is most likely caused by backlash (the gears being able to move very slightly, independently of one and other). You can check for this by trying to move the large gear by hand, it will probably move freely over a very small angle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Titan-poor-mesh.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Backlash is caused by poor gear alignment, a highly exaggerated example of this is shown in the picture. The fix is simple, loosen the 3 screws that hold the body to the motor and rotate the extruder such that the gears are fully meshed. You know they are fully meshed when the large gear is no longer able to move freely. Re-tighten the screws on the lid and the problem should be fixed. <br />
<br />
If you are unable to get the gears to fully mesh by removing the screws on the lid, it may be necessary to loosen the screw behind the groove-mount and adjust the body position.<br />
<br />
===Filament slipping off hobbed area of Filament Drive Shaft===<br />
<br />
* Ensure the PTFE is installed in the idler.<br />
* Ensure that the steel pinion gear is not too far back towards the motor, allowing the idler to slide back and forth along the motor shaft.<br />
<br />
===Drive gear hard to turn with heatsink screwed down===<br />
<br />
Be sure that the steel pinion gear is not above the height of the Acetal gear. If it is, the idler will pinch it when the lid is fitted.<br />
<br />
== Hotend Guidance ==<br />
In general the E3D-v6 hotend is highly tolerant of most printing conditions and is designed to accept the vast majority of filaments on the market. There are however some things to be aware of:<br />
<br />
* Filament must be within acceptable diameter tolerance. For 1.75mm this means 1.70mm - 1.80mm and for 3.00mm/2.85mm the filament must be between 2.80mm and 3.05mm<br />
* Excessively long retractions will cause issues by dragging soft filament into cold areas. E3D-v6 hotends need less retraction than most hotends. For direct extrusion systems you should use anywhere from 0.5mm-1.0mm, for bowden systems you might want to go up to 2mm. Retraction beyond 2mm is likely to cause issues.<br />
* The heatsink must be cooled! Heated chambers, fan ducts that restrict flow, and not having the fan running at 100% at all times are common causes of issues. The heatsink should be cool to the touch at all times. If your heatsink is warm to the touch then you have a cooling issue that must be addressed.<br />

= Disassembly =<br />
If you are taking a functional printer out of service to install Titan, make sure you '''read all the docs first'''. You may need to print a mounting bracket or spacer for your printer. <br />
<br />
= Assembly Steps =<br />
Herewith the assembly steps for Titan. Titan is easy to assemble, but there are a few little tricks, so make sure you read it all!<br />
<br />
'''Note on spacings between body and extruder body:'''<br />
# A spacer is always required.<br />
# The spacer must be at least 2mm thick. This ensures that the pinion gear clears the face of the motor. <br />
# If your mounting circumstances mean the extruder will be held less than 2mm off the face of the motor, you need to print a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer].<br />
# If your mounting circumstances requires more than 2mm then you may need to use the longer mounting screws. <br />
## Note that the motor offered on the extruder product page does not support spacing of more than 3mm since the shaft is not long enough to fully support the idler. <br />
# If you run into problems with the screws being too long, '''we have put a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer] on Thingiverse for you.''' Here is a list of through-hole mounting thicknesses and associated screw lengths & spacer thicknesses you will need.<br />
** 2mm - Short Screws - No Spacer<br />
** 3mm - Long Screws - 4mm Spacer<br />
** 4mm - Long Screws - 3mm Spacer<br />
** 5mm - Long Screws - 2mm Spacer<br />
** 6mm - Long Screws - 1mm Spacer<br />

* Screw the M3 Grub Screw loosely into the Steel Pinion Gear. <br />
<br />
* Slide the Steel Gear onto the motor shaft, oriented such that the grub screw is closest to the motor. <br />
** To set the height of the steel gear, drop the Acetal Gear with Filament Drive Shaft into the bearing, then line up the top surfaces (facing away from the motor) of the gears so that they are flush. <br />
** To ensure that positioning is accurate, squeeze the assembly together to ensure that the everything is sitting where it will be once it’s all tightened up. <br />
<br />
* Tighten the Grub Screw to secure the Steel gear in place. If your motor shaft has a flat section do tighten the grub screw down onto the flat for optimal grip.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:MOTOR-TYPE.jpg|center|500px|Difference between new motor (Left) and old motor (Right)]]<br />
<br />
'''Note'''<br />
<br />
The motor supplied with Titan has recently been upgraded, leading to a few slight differences:<br />
* The new motor has 400 steps/rev, giving higher resolution than the older one with 200 steps/rev. This must be taken into account when setting the firmware.<br />
* The shaft on the newer model is slightly longer to allow for the use of thicker mounting brackets.<br />
* In addition to the shaft being longer on the new model, the shaft flat does not extend as close to the motor face plate as the old model. This means that for thinner mounting brackets it may not be possible to tighten the gear on to the flat section, don't worry, as the grub screw will still cope with enough torque to run the the extruder when tightened on to the round portion of the shaft.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can tell which motor you have by checking the model number or degrees per steps written on the sticker on the side of the motor:<br />
* New: 42BYGHM208P4.5-15-X2 & 0.9deg/step (Left image)<br />
* Old: 42BYGHW609L20P1-X2 & 1.8deg/step (Right image)<br />

== Heatsink / Bowden Adaptor & Filament Guide ==<br />
<br />
'''1.75mm Direct'''<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-PTFE.png|center|16mm PTFE|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-PTFE-PHOTO.jpg|center|16mm PTFE|400px]]<br />
<br />
We are going to cut the PTFE to length so that it fully lines the filament path all the way from the top of the filament guide down into the heat-break.<br />
<br />
#Screw the heatsink and heat-break together. '''Note: the little black bowden collet must not be installed.'''<br />
#Insert the PTFE from the top, so that it is up against the heat-break. <br />
#Measure 16mm from the top of the heatsink and cut the PTFE. This will ensure an optimal filament parth. Note; <br />
##If the PTFE is too long, when you screw the heat-break in place it may crush the PTFE, constricting the filament path. <br />
##If the PTFE is too short, there will be a gap between the top of the PTFE and the filament guide which may cause slight problems with loading. <br />
##It is better that the PTFE is slightly too short. <br />
#Place the black filament guide onto the PTFE and slide the whole assembly into the groove-mount hole in the extruder body. The HotEnd should be held firmly in place.<br />
<br />
'''3mm Direct'''<br />
<br />
There is no PTFE in the system for 3mm Direct. Simply place the heatsink into the groove-mount hole, followed by the white filament guide. Ensure the top of the filament guide is flush with the extruder body.<br />
<br />
'''1.75mm and 3mm Bowden'''<br />
#Slide the Bowden Adaptor into the groove-mount. It may feel a little loose. <br />
#Slide the filament guide (black for 1.75mm, white for 3mm) into the groove-mount. The Bowden Adaptor should now be held firmly in place. Ensure the top of the filament guide is flush with the extruder body. <br />
#Insert the PTFE into the Bowden Adaptor until you feel it hit up hard against the filament guide. Note that in 1.75 - the PTFE will go all the way up into the guide, stopping short only a few mm before the drive gear. <br />
#Pull the collet in the Embedded Bowden Coupling whilst pushing the PTFE into the coupling, this will ensure that the tube is locked in place and that there is minimal backlash in the system.<br />
<br />
== Idler Lever ==<br />
[[File:TITAN-IDLER-THUMBSCREW.jpg|center|Install Idler|800px]]<br />
<br />
There are 2 options for adjusting the tension on a Titan. An M4 button head screw (left) or an M4 thumbscrew (right). The thumbscrew allows you to adjust the tension without tools whereas the button head does not, however it is more compact. Otherwise they are functionally the same, so the choice is purely your own preference.<br />
<br />
#Screw the M4 Nut all the way onto the M4 Screw or Thumbscrew. <br />
#Locate the spring around the threaded part of the screw.<br />
#Drop this assembly into the nut-channel in the extruder body. <br />
#<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Warning: Do not compress the spring without the lid on, and always ensure the idler tension is set to minimum before removing the lid.</span> Failure to do so can cause the spring / screw to pop out and fly to the other side of the room. In the best-case this will be a waste your time spent looking for it, worst-case it may hit someone in the face. <br />
#Slide the idler lever onto the motor shaft, ensuring that the spring locates onto the bump on the back of the idler.<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-IDLER-FITTING-NEW.jpg|center|400px|Sliding Idler onto Shaft]]<br />
<br />
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Note: it is normal that the pin sticks out slightly on one side of the lever.</span><br />
<br />
== Lid ==<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-LID.png|center|800px]]<br />
<br />
#Put the lid on the assembly and install the M3 x 30 (or M3 x 35) screws in the 2 left positions. <br />
#The top-right screw which goes through the filament drive shaft uses the same screw as before, however with this one, you must be careful not to over-tighten. Tighten only enough to hold the assembly together.<br />
##If supplied, use the shake-proof washers under the head of the top-right screw to minimise risk of loosening during service. <br />
##All the force applied to this screw is transmitted through the miniature bearings for the filament drive shaft. Over-tightening will cause unnecessary load on the motor and in extreme cases may result in the bearings failing prematurely. <br />
#The remaining screw is the M3 x 25 in the bottom right position. This screws into the brass insert in the back of the extruder body and holds the HotEnd in place.<br />
<br />
== Gear Alignment Check ==<br />
<br />
Now that you have completed the assembly, check that the large Acetal gear moves smoothly and that it fully meshes with the steel gear. <br />
<br />
* If the gear is hard to move, loosen off the corresponding M3 screw in the lid until it moves freely. <br />
** If the gear is still hard to move - check the position of the steel pinion gear, it may be too far forward.<br />
* If the gear exhibits “backlash” (improper meshing), loosen all screws on the lid and rotate the body such that the gears fully mesh. Re-tighten up the screws on the lid.<br />
<br />
== PTFE in Idler==<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-IDLER-PTFE-NEW.jpg|center|400px|Idler requires PTFE for 1.75mm]]<br />
<br />
When the Extruder is ready to use, ensure that you put a piece of 4mm OD, 2mm ID PTFE tubing into the hole in the top of the idler. This will provide guidance for the filament. Without this, the filament risks coming off the hobbed area of the extruder. This is not required for 3mm filament.<br />
<br />
= Mirrored Titan =<br />
<br />
A mirrored version of Titan is available, which is functionally the same as the standard version, however the nozzle is offset on the opposite side to usual.The main intent of the mirrored Titan is to be used for dual extrusion, maximising build space when using a pair of direct extruders, such as in the configuration below.<br />
<br />
[[File:MirroredDualExtruder.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
== Mounting Options ==<br />
<br />
There are a couple of recommended ways to mount a pair of Titans:<br />
* Simple method, where the 2 extruders are offset in X only, this will yield an extra 30mm of X build space compared to using 2 standard Titans.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimpleMirrored.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
* Maximum X Build Method, where the 2 extruders are offset in X and Y, allowing the gears to overlap. This will gain 47mm of X build space, however this is at the cost of 10mm of Y build space.<br />
<br />
[[File:MaxMirrored.png|center|500px|]]<br />
<br />
When deciding on mounting options, do also consider adjustability in the Z direction, the closer the 2 nozzles are in Z the better print quality will be.<br />
<br />
== Assembly & Commissioning ==<br />
<br />
The assembly process of a mirrored Titan is the same as a standard Titan, however the following parts are mirrored and therefore not interchangeable with a standard Titan:<br />
* Body<br />
* Lid<br />
* Filament Guides ,these are marked on the base with “1.75L” or “2.85L”<br />
* Idler Lever, the injection molded part is the same, however the pin that retains the idler bearing has been pressed from the other side to prevent interference with the large plastic gear.<br />
<br />
[[File:IdlerMirrored.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Before running your first print you must calibrate the XY offset of the nozzles, this needs to be calculated accurately to ensure good print quality. There is a good guide for how to do this on the Bigbox wiki [[Printer Commissioning#.288.29_Dual_Nozzle_Alignment|BigBox Dual Nozzle Alignment Section]]<br />
<br />
= Usage =<br />
== Firmware Calibration ==<br />
<br />
Because Titan uses a known gearing ratio and a consistently machined drive gear, we can offer a fairly accurate steps / mm set-point.<br />
<br />
Steps per Unit (Extruder) = Motor Steps * Micro-stepping * Gear Ratio / (Hobb Diameter * Pi)<br />
<br />
* Standard motor steps / rev = 400 for the new style motor or 200 for the old style motor (Refer to assembly steps if unsure which motor you have).<br />
* Standard micro-stepping = 16x <br />
* Gear Ratio = 3<br />
* Hobb Diameter (Effective) = 7.3<br />
<br />
200 * 16 * 3 / (7.3 * 3.142) = 418.5<br />
400 * 16 * 3 / (7.3 * 3.142) = 837<br />
<br />
To test your value, mark the filament 120mm from the extruder then extrude 100mm slowly. If you do not measure 20mm after extrusion has finished, you may need to tweak this value.<br />
<br />
== Loading and Unloading ==<br />
<br />
'''To load filament'''<br />
[[File:Loosen-Idler.png|center|200px|]]<br />
* Slightly reduce the idler force by turning the adjustment wheel clockwise.<br />
[[File:Insert-Filament.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Feed the filament through the top of the idler.<br />
[[File:Release-Idler.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Pull the idler back and continue to feed the filament into the extruder.<br />
[[File:Rotate-Gear.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Rotate the large gear by hand to feed the filament the remainder of the way into the hotend. You will know you have reached the hotend as the gear will start to put up more resistance.<br />
<br />
'''To unload filament, simply do the loading procedure in reverse.'''<br />
<br />
== Adjusting Idler Force ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Idler-Force.png|center|800px|]]<br />
<br />
The idler force can be adjusted using the thumb wheel on the side of the extruder. The nut and spring that actually apply the force can be viewed through the lid, giving a quick indicator of the force being applied.<br />
<br />
The force required will depend on a range of parameters, such as filament material, filament diameter, extrusion rate etc. As a general rule softer filaments (such as flexibles) will need less force than harder ones as the hobb can more easily grip them. The idler force does not need to be perfect in order to print, however to get the best settings for your printer and material combination we advise a little bit of experimentation to find a setting that feels right.<br />
<br />
== HotEnd Removal == <br />
<br />
To remove the HotEnd, relieve tension in the idler then remove the front 4 screws and pull the HotEnd out forwards.<br />

= FAQ =<br />
<br />
=== Weight ===<br />
<br />
60g without motor<br />
=== Wear on Idler === <br />
<br />
The idlers are made from Delrin 500CL which is an acetal homopolymer with impregnated chemical lubricant. This resin is designed specifically for low wear and friction against metals. This idler runs plain against a ground steel motor shaft which is very smooth causing absolutely minimal wear. If you have a D-shaped shaft there is a small possibility that a bur is present on one of the edges - this could cause issues in the long-term and so if found should be removed. <br />
<br />
= Troubleshooting =<br />
=="Clicking" sound during retractions==<br />
<br />
If you can hear the gears clicking against each other during printing (normally on retraction) this is most likely caused by backlash (the gears being able to move very slightly, independently of one and other). You can check for this by trying to move the large gear by hand, it will probably move freely over a very small angle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Titan-poor-mesh.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Backlash is caused by poor gear alignment, a highly exaggerated example of this is shown in the picture. The fix is simple, loosen the 3 screws that hold the body to the motor and rotate the extruder such that the gears are fully meshed. You know they are fully meshed when the large gear is no longer able to move freely. Re-tighten the screws on the lid and the problem should be fixed. <br />
<br />
If you are unable to get the gears to fully mesh by removing the screws on the lid, it may be necessary to loosen the screw behind the groove-mount and adjust the body position.<br />
<br />
==Filament slipping off hobbed area of Filament Drive Shaft==<br />
<br />
* Ensure the PTFE is installed in the Idler.<br />
* Ensure that the steel pinion gear is not too far back towards the motor, allowing the idler to slide back and forth along the motor shaft. <br />
<br />
==Drive gear hard to turn when lid tightened==<br />
<br />
Be sure that the steel pinion gear is not above the height of the Acetal gear. If it is, the idler will pinch it when the lid is fitted.<br />
<br />
==HotEnd is wobbly==<br />
<br />
This is normally because the PTFE guide has not been inserted. Please refer to the relevant section of the documentation and ensure that this part is fitted.

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_cork.jpg|thumb|left|Cork.]]<br />
Tightening up the screws will compress the cork pads on the Y-Axis Front Brackets. This is a good thing, however you will need to adjust the tension so the part sits squarely against the frame. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': The cork will compress by 0.5mm - 1mm.<br />

== (5) Zero X & Y==<br />
<br />
[[File:zero_xy.jpg|thumb|left|Zero.]]<br />
The X & Y Axes will need Zeroing in relation to the build plate. The bed has 0,0 marked in the front left corner. We want to adjust the endstop triggers so the nozzle will be perfectly aligned to those coordinates.<br />
<br />
If you have screwed the end stops screws a long way in, the zero point the X-Carriage goes to when you hit home in the sequence below will be close to the X-Axis edge of the glass plate and the "home" action may push these clips along/off. Adjust the Y-Axis end stop out a little to avoid this.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the zero point is very hard to see on the dual, placing the edge of a thick piece of paper or an envelope along the Y zero axis and marking the edge of the glass plate you can see from the front will allow you to look along and see if the nozzle is aligned at zero. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x.jpg|thumb|left|Move X.]]<br />
After the homing sequence has completed navigate through the menus and select '''1mm''' increments then '''Move X'''.<br />

<br />
[[File:move_x_0.jpg|thumb|left|Move to 0.00.]]<br />
Move the X-Axis to '''00.00'''<br />
<br />
After the "home" sequence this 00.00 is where the machine THINKS 00.00 is (as it hits the X limit switch) <br />
Of course it may not be at 0. To adjust this first move the heads out of the way (PREPARE - MOVE AXIS menu sequence) <br />
then adjust the X endstop and run the HOME sequence again and check if X is at zero on the plate. <br />
Loop through this until X= 00.00 on screen is when the nozzle is at X = 0 on the plate. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Incorrect X.]]<br />
If the Y-Axis Endstop trigger is not correctly set the 0 position for X will of course be wrong.<br />

== (6) Z-Axis Calibration==<br />
[[File:loosen_z.jpg|thumb|left|Z-Bed Calibration.]]<br />

== (7) Tightening the HotEnd==<br />
[[File:tightening_lower_bed.jpg|thumb|left|Lower the bed.]]<br />
To ensure a leak-free nozzle we need to perform the final tightening. This is done with the nozzle at temperature.<br />
<br />
It is worth at this point checking that you can access the heater block and nozzle with your spanners (before the temperature rises) as access is a little restricted. <br />
<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis, somewhere around 200mm should be fine.<br />
<br />

While holding the Heater block securely in a pair of pliers, tighten the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Precise instructions from the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Final_Tightening|E3D v6 assembly documentation]].<br />
<br />
''When the HotEnd is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner (5/8" may fit) . This will tighten the nozzle against the HeatBreak and ensure that your HotEnd does not leak. You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle - this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner. The nozzle does not need to be torqued down incredibly tightly to form a good seal, when at lower temperatures the aluminium will contract and hold the Nozzle and HeatBreak together.''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_cooldown.jpg|thumb|left|Off.]]<br />
After the nozzle has been tightened, turn it off.<br />

== (8) Dual Nozzle Alignment==<br />
=== (8.1) Levelling===<br />
[[File:dual_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pin.]]<br />
To get the best performance from the BigBox Dual it is important to spend a few minutes aligning and levelling the two nozzles. I will demonstrate the method I use to align the two together.<br />
<br />
Find a suitably pointed object which we'll use as datum and reference point. I like to use pins, or you may find this printable tool helpful | [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1686515 Dual Extruder Alignment Tool]<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Make sure the Printhead has been Autohomed before you begin, we'll need to use the X, Y & Z Axes to calculate the second extruder's offset.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_centre.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Pin.]]<br />
After running the Autohome function place the pin at the centre of the heated bed approximately 5mm back from the front, i.e. Y is at 5mm on the grid.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_above.jpg|thumb|left|Positioned.]]<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis and move the Printhead so the left extruder sits as close to the top of the pin as you can get it without it actually touching. You will need to move the Axes in 0.1mm increments to get an accurate position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_move.jpg|thumb|left|Next Extruder.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead along the X-Axis in 1.0 mm increments until the right nozzle is close to the pin. Stop before the nozzle touches it.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Unclip the fan from the right HotEnd to access the front grubscrew.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_allen.jpg|thumb|left|Allen.]]<br />
The right nozzle needs to have it's height adjusted level with the left nozzle.<br />
<br />
I find using a short 2mm Allen key is the most effective tool to adjust the grub screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Tighten the grub screws at both the back and front of the HotEnd. You won't need to turn the spanner much, maybe half a turn, to get the alignment close.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_right.jpg|thumb|left|Check Right.]]<br />
When there is enough clearance below the nozzle use the LCD to move the right nozzle over the top of the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_left.jpg|thumb|left|Check Left.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead to change which nozzle is over the pin.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Only adjust the height of the right extruder. It will take a few attempts to get it right, the longer you spend setting it up and the more precisely you can align the two nozzles the better your prints will be!<br />
<br />
When you are finished put the fan back on the HotEnd. '''DON'T''' remove or move the pin yet, you will need it for the next stage of calibration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.2) Extruder Offset===<br />
[[File:dual_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Centre.]]<br />
To print correctly your BigBox needs to know the X & Y difference between the two nozzles.<br />
<br />
Align the left nozzle directly above the pin, Try to get it as close to central as you can. You will likely need to move both X & Y Axes.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 149.8.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Move the printhead so that the right nozzle is exactly centered over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 114.6.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_y.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Now we want to move in the Y-Axis.<br />
<br />
A small mirror on a stick is useful to see the Y alignment between the pin and the nozzle, place the mirror on the bed to the left or right of the X-Carriage and at about 45 degrees. Turn the mirror until the two nozzles line up at which point you can see the offset wrt the pin. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the starting position, 5.00.<br />

= Disassembly =<br />
If you are taking a functional printer out of service to install Titan, make sure you '''read all the docs first'''. You may need to print a mounting bracket or spacer for your printer. <br />
<br />
= Assembly Steps =<br />
Herewith the assembly steps for Titan. Titan is easy to assemble, but there are a few little tricks, so make sure you read it all!<br />
<br />
'''Note on spacings between body and extruder body:'''<br />
# A spacer is always required.<br />
# The spacer must be at least 2mm thick. This ensures that the pinion gear clears the face of the motor. <br />
# If your mounting circumstances mean the extruder will be held less than 2mm off the face of the motor, you need to print a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer].<br />
# If your mounting circumstances requires more than 2mm then you may need to use the longer mounting screws. <br />
## Note that the motor offered on the extruder product page does not support spacing of more than 3mm since the shaft is not long enough to fully support the idler. <br />
# If you run into problems with the screws being too long, '''we have put a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1472259 customisable spacer] on Thingiverse for you.''' Here is a list of through-hole mounting thicknesses and associated screw lengths & spacer thicknesses you will need.<br />
** 2mm - Short Screws - No Spacer<br />
** 3mm - Long Screws - 4mm Spacer<br />
** 4mm - Long Screws - 3mm Spacer<br />
** 5mm - Long Screws - 2mm Spacer<br />

== Extruder Body ==<br />
[[File:TITAN-AFFIX-BODY.jpg|center|400px]]<br />
* Use M3 x 8 or M3 x 12 screw to hold body in place.<br />
<br />
== Gears ==<br />
[[File:TITAN-FLUSH-GEARS.png|center|Titan gears must be flush]]<br />
[[File:TITAN-FLUSH-GEARS-PHOTO.jpg|center|400px|Titan gears must be flush]]<br />
* Screw the M3 Grub Screw loosely into the Steel Pinion Gear. <br />
<br />
* Slide the Steel Gear onto the motor shaft, oriented such that the grub screw is closest to the motor. <br />
** To set the height of the steel gear, drop the Acetal Gear with Filament Drive Shaft into the bearing, then line up the top surfaces (facing away from the motor) of the gears so that they are flush. <br />
** To ensure that positioning is accurate, squeeze the assembly together to ensure that the everything is sitting where it will be once it’s all tightened up. <br />
<br />
* Tighten the Grub Screw to secure the Steel gear in place. If your motor shaft has a flat section do tighten the grub screw down onto the flat for optimal grip.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:MOTOR-TYPE.jpg|center|500px|Difference between new motor (Left) and old motor (Right)]]<br />
<br />
'''Note'''<br />
<br />
The motor supplied with Titan has recently been upgraded, leading to a few slight differences:<br />
* The new motor has 400 steps/rev, giving higher resolution than the older one with 200 steps/rev. This must be taken into account when setting the firmware.<br />
* The shaft on the newer model is slightly longer to allow for the use of thicker mounting brackets.<br />
* In addition to the shaft being longer on the new model, the shaft flat does not extend as close to the motor face plate as the old model. This means that for thinner mounting brackets it may not be possible to tighten the gear on to the flat section, don't worry, as the grub screw will still cope with enough torque to run the the extruder when tightened on to the round portion of the shaft.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can tell which motor you have by checking the model number or degrees per steps written on the sticker on the side of the motor:<br />
* New: 42BYGHM208P4.5-15-X2 & 0.9deg/step (Left image)<br />
* Old: 42BYGHW609L20P1-X2 & 1.8deg/step (Right image)<br />
<br />

<br />
== Heatsink / Bowden Adaptor & Filament Guide ==<br />
<br />
'''1.75mm Direct'''<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-PTFE.png|center|16mm PTFE|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-PTFE-PHOTO.jpg|center|16mm PTFE|400px]]<br />
<br />
We are going to cut the PTFE to length so that it fully lines the filament path all the way from the top of the filament guide down into the heat-break.<br />
<br />
#Screw the heatsink and heat-break together. '''Note: the little black bowden collet must not be installed.'''<br />
#Insert the PTFE from the top, so that it is up against the heat-break. <br />
#Measure 16mm from the top of the heatsink and cut the PTFE. This will ensure an optimal filament parth. Note; <br />
##If the PTFE is too long, when you screw the heat-break in place it may crush the PTFE, constricting the filament path. <br />
##If the PTFE is too short, there will be a gap between the top of the PTFE and the filament guide which may cause slight problems with loading. <br />
##It is better that the PTFE is slightly too short. <br />
#Place the black filament guide onto the PTFE and slide the whole assembly into the groove-mount hole in the extruder body. The HotEnd should be held firmly in place.<br />
<br />
'''3mm Direct'''<br />
<br />
There is no PTFE in the system for 3mm Direct. Simply place the heatsink into the groove-mount hole, followed by the white filament guide. Ensure the top of the filament guide is flush with the extruder body.<br />
<br />
'''1.75mm and 3mm Bowden'''<br />
#Slide the Bowden Adaptor into the groove-mount. It may feel a little loose. <br />
#Slide the filament guide (black for 1.75mm, white for 3mm) into the groove-mount. The Bowden Adaptor should now be held firmly in place. Ensure the top of the filament guide is flush with the extruder body. <br />
#Insert the PTFE into the Bowden Adaptor until you feel it hit up hard against the filament guide. Note that in 1.75 - the PTFE will go all the way up into the guide, stopping short only a few mm before the drive gear. <br />
#Pull the collet in the Embedded Bowden Coupling whilst pushing the PTFE into the coupling, this will ensure that the tube is locked in place and that there is minimal backlash in the system.<br />
<br />
== Idler Lever ==<br />
[[File:TITAN-IDLER-THUMBSCREW.jpg|center|Install Idler|800px]]<br />
<br />
There are 2 options for adjusting the tension on a Titan. An M4 button head screw (left) or an M4 thumbscrew (right). The thumbscrew allows you to adjust the tension without tools whereas the button head does not, however it is more compact. Otherwise they are functionally the same, so the choice is purely your own preference.<br />
<br />
#Screw the M4 Nut all the way onto the M4 Screw or Thumbscrew. <br />
#Locate the spring around the threaded part of the screw.<br />
#Drop this assembly into the nut-channel in the extruder body. <br />
#<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Warning: Do not compress the spring without the lid on, and always ensure the idler tension is set to minimum before removing the lid.</span> Failure to do so can cause the spring / screw to pop out and fly to the other side of the room. In the best-case this will be a waste your time spent looking for it, worst-case it may hit someone in the face. <br />
#Slide the idler lever onto the motor shaft, ensuring that the spring locates onto the bump on the back of the idler.<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-IDLER-FITTING-NEW.jpg|center|400px|Sliding Idler onto Shaft]]<br />
<br />
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold">Note: it is normal that the pin sticks out slightly on one side of the lever.</span><br />
<br />
== Lid ==<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-LID.png|center|800px]]<br />
<br />
#Put the lid on the assembly and install the M3 x 30 (or M3 x 35) screws in the 2 left positions. <br />
#The top-right screw which goes through the filament drive shaft uses the same screw as before, however with this one, you must be careful not to over-tighten. Tighten only enough to hold the assembly together.<br />
##If supplied, use the shake-proof washers under the head of the top-right screw to minimise risk of loosening during service. <br />
##All the force applied to this screw is transmitted through the miniature bearings for the filament drive shaft. Over-tightening will cause unnecessary load on the motor and in extreme cases may result in the bearings failing prematurely. <br />
#The remaining screw is the M3 x 25 in the bottom right position. This screws into the brass insert in the back of the extruder body and holds the HotEnd in place.<br />
<br />
== Gear Alignment Check ==<br />
<br />
Now that you have completed the assembly, check that the large Acetal gear moves smoothly and that it fully meshes with the steel gear. <br />
<br />
* If the gear is hard to move, loosen off the corresponding M3 screw in the lid until it moves freely. <br />
** If the gear is still hard to move - check the position of the steel pinion gear, it may be too far forward.<br />
* If the gear exhibits “backlash” (improper meshing), loosen all screws on the lid and rotate the body such that the gears fully mesh. Re-tighten up the screws on the lid.<br />
<br />
== PTFE in Idler==<br />
<br />
[[File:TITAN-IDLER-PTFE-NEW.jpg|center|400px|Idler requires PTFE for 1.75mm]]<br />
<br />
When the Extruder is ready to use, ensure that you put a piece of 4mm OD, 2mm ID PTFE tubing into the hole in the top of the idler. This will provide guidance for the filament. Without this, the filament risks coming off the hobbed area of the extruder. This is not required for 3mm filament.<br />
<br />
= Mirrored Titan =<br />
<br />
A mirrored version of Titan is available, which is functionally the same as the standard version, however the nozzle is offset on the opposite side to usual.The main intent of the mirrored Titan is to be used for dual extrusion, maximising build space when using a pair direct extruders, such as in the configuration below.<br />
<br />
[[File:MirroredDualExtruder.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
== Mounting Options ==<br />
<br />
There are a couple of recommended ways to mount a pair of Titans:<br />
* Simple method, where the 2 extruders are offset in X only, this will yield an extra 30mm of X build space compared to using 2 standard Titans.<br />
<br />
[[File:SimpleMirrored.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
* Maximum X Build Method, where the 2 extruders are offset in X and Y, allowing the gears to overlap. This will gain 47mm of X build space, however this is at the cost of 10mm of Y build space.<br />
<br />
[[File:MaxMirrored.png|center|500px|]]<br />
<br />
When deciding on mounting options, do also consider adjustability in the Z direction, the closer the 2 nozzles are in Z the better print quality will be.<br />
<br />
== Assembly & Commissioning ==<br />
<br />
The assembly process of a mirrored Titan is the same as a standard Titan, however the following parts are mirrored and therefore not interchangeable with a standard Titan:<br />
* Body<br />
* Lid<br />
* Filament Guides ,these are marked on the base with “1.75L” or “2.85L”<br />
* Idler Lever, the injection molded part is the same, however the pin that retains the idler bearing has been pressed from the other side to prevent interference with the large plastic gear.<br />
<br />
[[File:IdlerMirrored.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Before running your first print you must calibrate the XY offset of the nozzles, this needs to be calculated accurately to ensure good print quality. There is a good guide for how to do this on the Bigbox wiki [[Printer Commissioning#.288.29_Dual_Nozzle_Alignment|BigBox Dual Nozzle Alignment Section]]<br />
<br />
= Usage =<br />
== Firmware Calibration ==<br />
<br />
Because Titan uses a known gearing ratio and a consistently machined drive gear, we can offer a fairly accurate steps / mm set-point.<br />
<br />
Steps per Unit (Extruder) = Motor Steps * Micro-stepping * Gear Ratio / (Hobb Diameter * Pi)<br />
<br />
* Standard motor steps / rev = 400 for the new style motor or 200 for the old style motor (Refer to assembly steps if unsure which motor you have).<br />
* Standard micro-stepping = 16x <br />
* Gear Ratio = 3<br />
* Hobb Diameter (Effective) = 7.3<br />
<br />
200 * 16 * 3 / (7.3 * 3.142) = 418.5<br />
400 * 16 * 3 / (7.3 * 3.142) = 837<br />
<br />
To test your value, mark the filament 120mm from the extruder then extrude 100mm slowly. If you do not measure 20mm after extrusion has finished, you may need to tweak this value.<br />
<br />
== Loading and Unloading ==<br />
<br />
'''To load filament'''<br />
[[File:Loosen-Idler.png|center|200px|]]<br />
* Slightly reduce the idler force by turning the adjustment wheel clockwise.<br />
[[File:Insert-Filament.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Feed the filament through the top of the idler.<br />
[[File:Release-Idler.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Pull the idler back and continue to feed the filament into the extruder.<br />
[[File:Rotate-Gear.png|center|400px|]]<br />
* Rotate the large gear by hand to feed the filament the remainder of the way into the hotend. You will know you have reached the hotend as the gear will start to put up more resistance.<br />
<br />
'''To unload filament, simply do the loading procedure in reverse.'''<br />
<br />
== Adjusting Idler Force ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Idler-Force.png|center|800px|]]<br />
<br />
The idler force can be adjusted using the thumb wheel on the side of the extruder. The nut and spring that actually apply the force can be viewed through the lid, giving a quick indicator of the force being applied.<br />
<br />
The force required will depend on a range of parameters, such as filament material, filament diameter, extrusion rate etc. As a general rule softer filaments (such as flexibles) will need less force than harder ones as the hobb can more easily grip them. The idler force does not need to be perfect in order to print, however to get the best settings for your printer and material combination we advise a little bit of experimentation to find a setting that feels right.<br />
<br />
== HotEnd Removal == <br />
<br />
To remove the HotEnd, relieve tension in the idler then remove the front 4 screws and pull the HotEnd out forwards.<br />

= FAQ =<br />
<br />
=== Weight ===<br />
<br />
60g without motor<br />
=== Wear on Idler === <br />
<br />
The idlers are made from Delrin 500CL which is an acetal homopolymer with impregnated chemical lubricant. This resin is designed specifically for low wear and friction against metals. This idler runs plain against a ground steel motor shaft which is very smooth causing absolutely minimal wear. If you have a D-shaped shaft there is a small possibility that a bur is present on one of the edges - this could cause issues in the long-term and so if found should be removed. <br />
<br />
= Troubleshooting =<br />
=="Clicking" sound during retractions==<br />
<br />
If you can hear the gears clicking against each other during printing (normally on retraction) this is most likely caused by backlash (the gears being able to move very slightly, independently of one and other). You can check for this by trying to move the large gear by hand, it will probably move freely over a very small angle.<br />
<br />
[[File:Titan-poor-mesh.png|center|400px|]]<br />
<br />
Backlash is caused by poor gear alignment, a highly exaggerated example of this is shown in the picture. The fix is simple, loosen the 3 screws that hold the body to the motor and rotate the extruder such that the gears are fully meshed. You know they are fully meshed when the large gear is no longer able to move freely. Re-tighten the screws on the lid and the problem should be fixed. <br />
<br />
If you are unable to get the gears to fully mesh by removing the screws on the lid, it may be necessary to loosen the screw behind the groove-mount and adjust the body position.<br />
<br />
==Filament slipping off hobbed area of Filament Drive Shaft==<br />
<br />
* Ensure the PTFE is installed in the Idler.<br />
* Ensure that the steel pinion gear is not too far back towards the motor, allowing the idler to slide back and forth along the motor shaft. <br />
<br />
==Drive gear hard to turn when lid tightened==<br />
<br />
Be sure that the steel pinion gear is not above the height of the Acetal gear. If it is, the idler will pinch it when the lid is fitted.<br />
<br />
==HotEnd is wobbly==<br />
<br />
This is normally because the PTFE guide has not been inserted. Please refer to the relevant section of the documentation and ensure that this part is fitted.

<br />
Take care when fitting the 688-ZZ (''8mm ID x 16mm OD x 5mm W'') bearings into the Y-Axis rear brackets, check there is no plastic obstructing the recess. Secure with the bearing retainer. They can be a very tight fit and are easily pressed into the part by pushing against a flat surface, a desk for example.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' These bearings are the two with the larger hole.<br />
<br />
The M4 Square Nuts can be easily fitted using an M4 x 30mm screw. Wind the nut on the screw and gently tap into place using a hammer. It is also recommended to use an M4 16mm screw the pull the nuts into position from behind. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />
<br />
Remove the backing from the Cork and affix to the printed part.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not fit the Cork Pad until all other components have been fitted.<br />

Part-thread the 20 mm grub screw through the idler arms. Carefully, fit the washers and F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') bearings over the screw between the arms of the printed part, in this order: ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer.'' Squash the part between your fingers when doing up the grub screw.<br />
<br />
Use the M4 20mm Bolt to pull the M4 Square nut into the recess at base of idler 'legs'. Do this without the lock-washer fitted and remove after assembly.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You are required to assemble two idlers for your BigBox.<br />

<br />
Do not tighten the M3 x 10mm (3) or the M3 x 12mm (4) screws, this will done at a later stage.<br />
<br />
Follow image guidelines when fitting the F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') Idler bearings ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer''.<br />
<br />
When fitting the M3 x 25 screw, lightly screw this in (it will self tap). This is used during the commissioning stage to set the X endstop point, so it's not being used in the typical fashion in which a screw is used. Do not screw it all the way in. It should protrude as per the above diagram.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Using needle-nose pliers can help when installing the M3 Square nuts.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are building a Hybrid X-Carriage replace the M3 x 25mm Bolt (Item 10 in the exploded diagram) with an M3 x 10mm Bolt.<br />

If you have an Astrosyn damper, now is as good a time as any to fit it. Before mounting to the motor to the motor mount, place the damper over the motor shaft. There's only one way to do this properly as the damper is keyed. Look for the holes without threads to be laid against the motor. If your motor didn't come with screws, you'll need to find two M3x6 screws to connect the damper to the motor. There will be only two screws connecting the damper to the mount. Next, connect the motor/damper assembly to the motor mount. Ideally you want two M3 x 8 screws for the job, but two of the original M3x10 indicated above will do the job. The most important thing is that the screws which connect the damper to the motor mount do not continue all the way to the motor. The point of the damper is to create a complete separation between motor vibrations and the case.<br />

If you have an Astrosyn damper, now is as good a time as any to fit it. Before mounting to the motor to the motor mount, place the damper over the motor shaft. There's only one way to do this properly as the damper is keyed. Look for the holes without threads to be laid against the motor. If your motor didn't come with screws, you'll need to find two M3x6 screws to connect the damper to the motor. There will be only two screws connecting the damper to the mount. Next, connect the motor/damper assembly to the motor mount. Ideally you want two M3 x 8 screws for the job, but two of the original M3x10 indicated above will do the job. The most important thing is that the screws which connect the damper to the motor mount do not continue all the way to the motor. The point of the damper is to create a complete separation between motor vibrations and the case.<br />

Take care when fitting the 688-ZZ (''8mm ID x 16mm OD x 5mm W'') bearings into the Y-Axis rear brackets, check there is no plastic obstructing the recess. Secure with the bearing retainer. They can be a very tight fit and are easily pressed into the part by pushing against a flat surface, a desk for example.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' These bearings are the two with the larger hole.<br />
<br />
The M4 Square Nuts can be easily fitted using an M4 x 30mm screw. Wind the nut on the screw and gently tap into place using a hammer. It is also recommended to use an M4 16mm screw the pull the nuts into position from behind. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />

If your motor didn't come with screws, you'll need to find two M3x6 screws to connect the damper to the motor. There will be only two screws connecting the damper to the mount. Next, connect the motor/damper assembly to the motor mount. Ideally you want two M3 x 8 screws for the job, but two of the original M3x10 indicated above will do the job. The most important thing is that the screws which connect the damper to the motor mount do not continue all the way to the motor. The point of the damper is to create a complete separation between motor vibrations and the case.<br />

Take care when fitting the 688-ZZ (''8mm ID x 16mm OD x 5mm W'') bearings into the Y-Axis rear brackets, check there is no plastic obstructing the recess. Secure with the bearing retainer. They can be a very tight fit and are easily pressed into the part by pushing against a flat surface, a desk for example.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' These bearings are the two with the larger hole.<br />
<br />
The M4 Square Nuts can be easily fitted using an M4 x 30mm screw. Wind the nut on the screw and gently tap into place using a hammer. It is also recommended to use an M4 16mm screw the pull the nuts into position from behind. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />

Squash the part between your fingers when doing up the grub screw.<br />
<br />
Use the M4 20mm Bolt to pull the M4 Square nut into the recess at base of idler 'legs'. Do this without the lock-washer fitted and remove after assembly.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You are required to assemble two idlers for your BigBox.<br />

Do not tighten the M3 x 10mm (3) or the M3 x 12mm (4) screws, this will done at a later stage.<br />
<br />
Follow image guidelines when fitting the F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') Idler bearings ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer''.<br />
<br />
When fitting the M3 x 25 screw, lightly screw this in (it will self tap). This is used during the commissioning stage to set the X endstop point, so it's not being used in the typical fashion in which a screw is used. Do not screw it all the way in. It should protrude as per the above diagram.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Using needle-nose pliers can help when installing the M3 Square nuts.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are building a Hybrid X-Carriage replace the M3 x 25mm Bolt (Item 10 in the exploded diagram) with an M3 x 10mm Bolt.<br />

Do not tighten the M3 x 10mm (3) or the M3 x 12mm (4) screws, this will done at a later stage.<br />
<br />
Follow image guidelines when fitting the F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') Idler bearings ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer''.<br />
<br />
When fitting the M3 x 25 screw, lightly screw this in (it will self tap). This is used during the commissioning stage to set the X endstop point, so it's not being used in the typical fashion in which a screw is used. Do not screw it all the way in. It should protrude as per the above diagram.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Using needle-nose pliers can help when installing the M3 Square nuts.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are building a Hybrid X-Carriage replace the M3 x 25mm Bolt (Item 10 in the exploded diagram) with an M3 x 10mm Bolt.<br />

If you have an Astrosyn damper, now is as good a time as any to fit it. Before mounting to the motor to the motor mount, place the damper over the motor shaft. There's only one way to do this properly as the damper is keyed. Look for the holes without threads to be laid against the motor. If your motor didn't come with screws, you'll need to find two M3x6 screws to connect the damper to the motor. There will be only two screws connecting the damper to the mount. Next, connect the motor/damper assembly to the motor mount. Ideally you want two M3 x 8 screws for the job, but two of the original M3x10 indicated above will do the job. The most important thing is that the screws which connect the damper to the motor mount do not continue all the way to the motor. The point of the damper is to create a complete separation between motor vibrations and the case.<br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Position the X-Axis Pulley with a grub over the flat on the motor shaft.<br />
If necessary tighten the other grub screw a little to hold first grub screw <br />
in position adjacent to the flat on the shaft.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Tighten the grub in the pulley, leave about 1mm of space between the bottom of the pulley and the motor.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_belt_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tension.]]<br />
Insert an 2.5 mm Allen Key into the slot in the Printhead. The slot is immediately below the limit (micro) switch.<br />

=== (1.2) Y-Axis===<br />
[[File:xy_front.jpg|thumb|left|Slide forward.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
'''We are assuming you have not tightened any of the pulley grubscrews or done up any of the screws holding the Y-Axis components to the frame. If you have done so please loosen them off now.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Front screws.]]<br />
Making sure the Printhead is at the front of the printer, tighten the two screws holding the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Front_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29| Y-Axis Front Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_cork.jpg|thumb|left|Cork.]]<br />
Tightening up the screws will compress the cork pads on the Y-Axis Front Brackets. This is a good thing, however you will need to adjust the tension so the part sits squarely against the frame. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': The cork will compress by 0.5mm - 1mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back.jpg|thumb|left|To the back.]]<br />

Tighten the two screws holding each of the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Rear_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29|Y-Axis Rear Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br />
The cork pads will compress in a similar way to the front. Ensure the parts are square.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Front again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Front Brackets.<br />

<br />
[[File:xy_back_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Back again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the back of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Rear Brackets.<br />
<br />
Once complete the Y-Axis should run smooth and not feel lumpy or gritty. You may need to loosen some of the Y-Axis Brackets and re-adjust the position.<br />
<br />

Using an Allen Key or similar push the pulley on the [[BigBox_Printer_main_assemblies:_Step_By_Step_Assembly_Process#Y-Axis_Rear-Bar_Assembly|Y-Axis Rear Bar Assembly]] inwards against the nylon washer.<br />
<br />
Repeat this with the other pulley.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Don't push too hard, you want a little bit of play.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_belt_tension.jpg|thumb|left|Tension the belt.]]<br />
Adjust the tension on the belt by tightening the screw at the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Remember to do this for both belts.<br />
<br />

[[File:xy_front_measure.jpg|thumb|left|Measure.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Position the one side of the X-Axis a known distance from the front of the frame. In this case I have chosen 70mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure_other.jpg|thumb|left|Measure the other side.]]<br />
Measure the opposite side.<br />
<br />
If there is any difference you can adjust it by holding one end in place and carefully moving the other end so they are both at the same distance. It may take a few goes to get it right. If you find it hard to adjust make sure the grubs on the pulleys are loose.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten the grub screw.]]<br />
Check the pulleys have not shifted while you have been adjusting the axes.<br />

<br />
== (5) Zero X & Y==<br />
<br />
[[File:zero_xy.jpg|thumb|left|Zero.]]<br />
The X & Y Axes will need Zeroing in relation to the build plate. The bed has 0,0 marked in the front left corner. We want to adjust the endstop triggers so the nozzle will be perfectly aligned to those coordinates.<br />
<br />
If you have screwed the end stops screws a long way in, the zero point the X-Carriage goes to when you hit home in the sequence below will be close to the X-Axis edge of the glass plate and the "home" action may push these clips along/off. Adjust the Y-Axis end stop out a little to avoid this.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the zero point is very hard to see on the dual, placing the edge of a thick piece of paper or an envelope along the Y zero axis and marking the edge of the glass plate you can see from the front will allow you to look along and see if the nozzle is aligned at zero. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x.jpg|thumb|left|Move X.]]<br />
After the homing sequence has completed navigate through the menus and select '''1mm''' increments then '''Move X'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_0.jpg|thumb|left|Move to 0.00.]]<br />
Move the X-Axis to '''00.00'''<br />
<br />
After the "home" sequence this 00.00 is where the machine THINKS 00.00 is (as it hits the X limit switch) <br />
Of course it may not be at 0. To adjust this first move the heads out of the way (PREPARE - MOVE AXIS menu sequence) <br />
then adjust the X endstop and run the HOME sequence again and check if X is at zero on the plate. <br />
Loop through this until X= 00.00 on screen is when the nozzle is at X = 0 on the plate. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Incorrect X.]]<br />
If the Y-Axis Endstop trigger is not correctly set the 0 position for X will of course be wrong.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset_adjust.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust the screw.]]<br />

'''Note''': If you have the Hybrid Printhead, the right extruder ('''HE1''') should be aligned to '''0,0'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (6) Z-Axis Calibration==<br />
[[File:loosen_z.jpg|thumb|left|Z-Bed Calibration.]]<br />
To get the best from the Z-Axis one needs to align the Z-Axis Motors with the bed.<br />
<br />
Begin by loosening the four screws holding the motors to the Lower Support. The motors should be able to freely wiggle around.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

<br />
== (7) Tightening the HotEnd==<br />
[[File:tightening_lower_bed.jpg|thumb|left|Lower the bed.]]<br />
To ensure a leak-free nozzle we need to perform the final tightening. This is done with the nozzle at temperature.<br />
<br />
It is worth at this point checking that you can access the heater block and nozzle with your spanners (before the temperature rises) as access is a little restricted. <br />
<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis, somewhere around 200mm should be fine.<br />
<br />

While holding the Heater block securely in a pair of pliers, tighten the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Precise instructions from the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Final_Tightening|E3D v6 assembly documentation]].<br />
<br />
''When the HotEnd is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner (5/8" may fit) . This will tighten the nozzle against the HeatBreak and ensure that your HotEnd does not leak. You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle - this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner. The nozzle does not need to be torqued down incredibly tightly to form a good seal, when at lower temperatures the aluminium will contract and hold the Nozzle and HeatBreak together.''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_cooldown.jpg|thumb|left|Off.]]<br />
After the nozzle has been tightened, turn it off.<br />
<br />
From the '''Prepare''' menu select '''Cooldown'''.<br />
<br />

== (8) Dual Nozzle Alignment==<br />
=== (8.1) Levelling===<br />
[[File:dual_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pin.]]<br />
To get the best performance from the BigBox Dual it is important to spend a few minutes aligning and levelling the two nozzles. I will demonstrate the method I use to align the two together.<br />
<br />
Find a suitably pointed object which we'll use as datum and reference point. I like to use pins.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Make sure the Printhead has been Autohomed before you begin, we'll need to use the X, Y & Z Axes to calculate the second extruder's offset.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_centre.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Pin.]]<br />
After running the Autohome function place the pin at the centre of the heated bed approximately 5mm back from the front, i.e. Y is at 5mm on the grid.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_above.jpg|thumb|left|Positioned.]]<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis and move the Printhead so the left extruder sits as close to the top of the pin as you can get it without it actually touching. You will need to move the Axes in 0.1mm increments to get an accurate position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_move.jpg|thumb|left|Next Extruder.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead along the X-Axis in 1.0 mm increments until the right nozzle is close to the pin. Stop before the nozzle touches it.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Unclip the fan from the right HotEnd to access the front grubscrew.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_allen.jpg|thumb|left|Allen.]]<br />
The right nozzle needs to have it's height adjusted level with the left nozzle.<br />
<br />
I find using a short 2mm Allen key is the most effective tool to adjust the grub screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Tighten the grub screws at both the back and front of the HotEnd. You won't need to turn the spanner much, maybe half a turn, to get the alignment close.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_right.jpg|thumb|left|Check Right.]]<br />
When there is enough clearance below the nozzle use the LCD to move the right nozzle over the top of the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_left.jpg|thumb|left|Check Left.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead to change which nozzle is over the pin.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Only adjust the height of the right extruder. It will take a few attempts to get it right, the longer you spend setting it up and the more precisely you can align the two nozzles the better your prints will be!<br />
<br />
When you are finished put the fan back on the HotEnd. '''DON'T''' remove or move the pin yet, you will need it for the next stage of calibration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.2) Extruder Offset===<br />
[[File:dual_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Centre.]]<br />
To print correctly your BigBox needs to know the X & Y difference between the two nozzles.<br />
<br />
Align the left nozzle directly above the pin, Try to get it as close to central as you can. You will likely need to move both X & Y Axes.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 149.8.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Move the printhead so that the right nozzle is exactly centered over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 114.6.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_y.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Now we want to move in the Y-Axis.<br />
<br />
A small mirror on a stick is useful to see the Y alignment between the pin and the nozzle, place the mirror on the bed to the left or right of the X-Carriage and at about 45 degrees. Turn the mirror until the two nozzles line up at which point you can see the offset wrt the pin. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the starting position, 5.00.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Move the Printhead so the nozzle sits exactly over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the new Y position, 5.4.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_calc.jpg|thumb|left|Numbers.]]<br />
Using our measurements we can calculate the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
:'''X'''<br />
::''149.8 - 114.6 ='' '''''35.2'''''<br />
<br />
:'''Y'''<br />
::''5.0 - 5.4 ='' '''''-0.4'''''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.3) G-Code===<br />
[[File:dual_m218.jpg|thumb|left|M218.]]<br />
The M218 G-Code command is used to set the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
For an in depth explanation visit the RepRap Wiki | [http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M218:_Set_Hotend_Offset reprap.org]<br />
<br />
'''M218 T1 X35.2 Y-0.4'''<br />
<br />
The code needs to be sent to the BigBox each time the printer is turned on, or ideally just before a new print is started. <br />
<br />
The easiest way is to add the command to the start-script of your slicers profile. For additional support please visit the forums | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

<div>[[File:bedlevelling_paper.jpg|thumb|left|Mesh levelling.]]<br />
The Mesh levelling sequence performs a more accurate and consistent function that the standard Auto levelling used by the Pro & Lite versions.<br />
<br />
The process is a little more involved but the results are worth the extra work.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in the mechanics of the process there is a short paper written by the engineer who implemented the system into Marlin | [https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/wiki/Manual-bed-leveling---mesh-bed-leveling Mesh Bed Levelling].<br />
<br />
To begin cut a short strip of paper.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_start.jpg|thumb|left|Level Bed.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
The BigBox will home X, Y & Z and then move to a position approximately X10, Y10.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper_next.jpg|thumb|left|Papered.]]<br />
Place the strip of paper under the left nozzle.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_lcd_adj.jpg|thumb|left|LCD.]]<br />
The LCD will display a value of 4.0.<br />
<br />
Rotating the knob will adjust the position of the bed.<br />
<br />
Move the bed up so that the paper is just able to slide around under the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Push the knob to continue.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next.jpg|thumb|left|Next.]]<br />
The Printhead will then move to the next position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust.]]<br />
Place the paper under the nozzle again and adjust the bed's height as before.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_last.jpg|thumb|left|Last one.]]<br />
There are a total of 9 points measured over the bed with the last being in the back right.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_home.jpg|thumb|left|Home.]]<br />
When the process has complete the Printhead will return to the home position, this time however '''it will move to X5, Y5, Z4.''' This can be seen on the LCD.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_store.jpg|thumb|left|Store.]]<br />
From the '''Control''' menu select '''Store memory'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The LCD will beep but nothing will change on the screen when the knob is pressed.<br />
<br />
The Mesh information will be permanently stored to the Rumba's EEPROM. You will not need to level the bed again unless you make any mechanical changes to the printer.<br />
<br />
At this stage you may wish to '''adjust the height of the "print cooling" fans''' (those at the left and right of the nozzles) These fans have a duct to prevent the air from them cooling the nozzles (look closely) as if the nozzle temperature drops too low the print will fail. '''Adjust these fans so that they are a few mm higher than the tip of the nozzles.''' i.e. just high enough to avoid the print itself and also high enough not to hit the wiper on the bucket. <br />

<hr />
<div>== (1) Belts, Pulleys & Rods==<br />
=== (1.1) X-Axis===<br />
[[File:x_m3_f.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Tighten the clamps holding the X-Axis bars to the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#X-Axis_Motor_Mount|X-Axis Motor Mount]].<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_m3_r.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
There are screws on both sides.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_m3_i.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
Repeat this on the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#X-Axis_Idler_Carriage|X-Axis Idler]].<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Position the X-Axis Pulley with a grub over the flat on the motor shaft.<br />
If necessary tighten the other grub screw a little to hold first grub screw <br />
in position adjacent to the flat on the shaft.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Tighten the grub in the pulley, leave about 1mm of space between the bottom of the pulley and the motor.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_belt_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tension.]]<br />
Insert an 2.5 mm Allen Key into the slot in the Printhead. The slot is immediately below the limit (micro) switch.<br />
<br />
Turning the Allen Key anticlockwise (undo) will tighten the belt.<br />
<br />
Watch this video of the belt being tightened | '''https://youtu.be/5X6I6plC3d8'''<br />
<br />
Watch this video of a correctly tensioned belt | '''https://youtu.be/0RpnXo2UQ0Y'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (1.2) Y-Axis===<br />
[[File:xy_front.jpg|thumb|left|Slide forward.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
'''We are assuming you have not tightened any of the pulley grubscrews or done up any of the screws holding the Y-Axis components to the frame. If you have done so please loosen them off now.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Front screws.]]<br />
Making sure the Printhead is at the front of the printer, tighten the two screws holding the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Front_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29| Y-Axis Front Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_cork.jpg|thumb|left|Cork.]]<br />
Tightening up the screws will compress the cork pads on the Y-Axis Front Brackets. This is a good thing, however you will need to adjust the tension so the part sits squarely against the frame. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': The cork will compress by 0.5mm - 1mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back.jpg|thumb|left|To the back.]]<br />
After screwing up the both front Y-Axis Brackets move the Printhead to the back of the printer.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Tighten the two screws holding each of the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Rear_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29|Y-Axis Rear Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br />
The cork pads will compress in a similar way to the front. Ensure the parts are square.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Front again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Front Brackets.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Back again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the back of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Rear Brackets.<br />
<br />
Once complete the Y-Axis should run smooth and not feel lumpy or gritty. You may need to loosen some of the Y-Axis Brackets and re-adjust the position.<br />
<br />
Watch this video to see a smooth Y-Axis | '''https://youtu.be/PvswubV-zas'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_push.jpg|thumb|left|Push the pulley.]]<br />
Using an Allen Key or similar push the pulley on the [[BigBox_Printer_main_assemblies:_Step_By_Step_Assembly_Process#Y-Axis_Rear-Bar_Assembly|Y-Axis Rear Bar Assembly]] inwards against the nylon washer.<br />
<br />
Repeat this with the other pulley.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Don't push too hard, you want a little bit of play.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_belt_tension.jpg|thumb|left|Tension the belt.]]<br />
Adjust the tension on the belt by tightening the screw at the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Remember to do this for both belts.<br />
<br />
Watch this video to see the belt tension setting | '''https://youtu.be/dtdeFrBScJQ'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure.jpg|thumb|left|Measure.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Position the one side of the X-Axis a known distance from the front of the frame. In this case I have chosen 70mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure_other.jpg|thumb|left|Measure the other side.]]<br />
Measure the opposite side.<br />
<br />
If there is any difference you can adjust it by holding one end in place and carefully moving the other end so they are both at the same distance. It may take a few goes to get it right. If you find it hard to adjust make sure the grubs on the pulleys are loose.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten the grub screw.]]<br />
Check the pulleys have not shifted while you have been adjusting the axes.<br />
<br />
Tighten the grub screws in the Y-Axis pulleys.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There are two screws in each pulley. There will be four in total.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
==== (1.2.1) Y-Axis Motor====<br />
<br />
[[File:y_motor_align.jpg|thumb|left|Align the parts.]]<br />
Align the pulleys and belt as shown.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

<br />
'''Make sure the motor stays horizontal. A misaligned motor can cause wear on the belts.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (1.3) Z-Axis===<br />
[[File:z_check.jpg|thumb|left|Check.]]<br />
Make sure all the screws holding the Z-Bed printed corners are loose and that the parts are free to move. Check the Z-Tops are free too.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

<br />
=== (1.4) Leadscrews===<br />
[[File:bed_up.jpg|thumb|left|Up.]]<br />
Raise up the bed and place an object underneath to keep it supported.<br />
<br />
Make sure that it is possible to extract this object once you have finished the lead screw install WITHOUT having to raise the bed, as to do this you will have to rotate each lead screw by hand. Tip: You could use a few thick books under the bed, which would be easy to slide out again.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:lead_cover_bottom.jpg|thumb|left|Cover.]]<br />

There are two versions of Leadscrews & Brass Nuts.<br />
<br />
The older version has a 2mm pitch with 8 holes in the nuts.<br />
<br />
The newer versions have an 8mm pitch and 4 holes in the nuts.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Depending on the version you may need to change the Steps-Per-MM for Z. We will explain how to do this at a later stage.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

<br />
== (5) Zero X & Y==<br />
<br />
[[File:zero_xy.jpg|thumb|left|Zero.]]<br />
The X & Y Axes will need Zeroing in relation to the build plate. The bed has 0,0 marked in the front left corner. We want to adjust the endstop triggers so the nozzle will be perfectly aligned to those coordinates.<br />
<br />
If you have screwed the end stops screws a long way in, the zero point the X-Carriage goes to when you hit home in the sequence below will be close to the X-Axis edge of the glass plate and the "home" action may push these clips along/off. Adjust the Y-Axis end stop out a little to avoid this.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the zero point is very hard to see on the dual, placing the edge of a thick piece of paper or an envelope along the Y zero axis and marking the edge of the glass plate you can see from the front will allow you to look along and see if the nozzle is aligned at zero. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x.jpg|thumb|left|Move X.]]<br />
After the homing sequence has completed navigate through the menus and select '''1mm''' increments then '''Move X'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_0.jpg|thumb|left|Move to 0.00.]]<br />
Move the X-Axis to '''00.00'''<br />
<br />
After the "home" sequence this 00.00 is where the machine THINKS 00.00 is (as it hits the X limit switch) <br />
Of course it may not be at 0. To adjust this first move the heads out of the way (PREPARE - MOVE AXIS menu sequence) <br />
then adjust the X endstop and run the HOME sequence again and check if X is at zero on the plate. <br />
Loop through this until X= 00.00 on screen is when the nozzle is at X = 0 on the plate. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Incorrect X.]]<br />
If the Y-Axis Endstop trigger is not correctly set the 0 position for X will of course be wrong.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset_adjust.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust the screw.]]<br />
Turning the screw clockwise will move the trigger point further to the left.<br />
<br />
After you have made an adjustment re-run the Auto home sequence.<br />

Run "home" to see where the Y Axis limit switch is triggered, check this on the plate, adjust the Y endstop (just above the Pi Cam) and run "home" again to see if Y = 00.00 on screen is actually Y = 0 on the plate. Loop round this process until they are. <br />

With both axes setup correctly you'll be able to position the Nozzle to '''0,0'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you have the Hybrid Printhead, the right extruder ('''HE1''') should be aligned to '''0,0'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (6) Z-Axis Calibration==<br />
[[File:loosen_z.jpg|thumb|left|Z-Bed Calibration.]]<br />
To get the best from the Z-Axis one needs to align the Z-Axis Motors with the bed.<br />
<br />
Begin by loosening the four screws holding the motors to the Lower Support. The motors should be able to freely wiggle around.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grease.jpg|thumb|left|Grease.]]<br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (7) Tightening the HotEnd==<br />
[[File:tightening_lower_bed.jpg|thumb|left|Lower the bed.]]<br />
To ensure a leak-free nozzle we need to perform the final tightening. This is done with the nozzle at temperature.<br />
<br />
It is worth at this point checking that you can access the heater block and nozzle with your spanners (before the temperature rises) as access is a little restricted. <br />
<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis, somewhere around 200mm should be fine.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There is a firmware bug which causes the bed to change height and reset to 0, please refer to the forum for support | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

While holding the Heater block securely in a pair of pliers, tighten the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Precise instructions from the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Final_Tightening|E3D v6 assembly documentation]].<br />
<br />
''When the HotEnd is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner (5/8" may fit) . This will tighten the nozzle against the HeatBreak and ensure that your HotEnd does not leak. You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle - this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner. The nozzle does not need to be torqued down incredibly tightly to form a good seal, when at lower temperatures the aluminium will contract and hold the Nozzle and HeatBreak together.''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_cooldown.jpg|thumb|left|Off.]]<br />
After the nozzle has been tightened, turn it off.<br />
<br />
From the '''Prepare''' menu select '''Cooldown'''.<br />
<br />
The temperature will now be set to '''0'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The display will not change when you press the knob. To check it has turned off the nozzle return to the main screen.<br />

== (8) Dual Nozzle Alignment==<br />
=== (8.1) Levelling===<br />
[[File:dual_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pin.]]<br />
To get the best performance from the BigBox Dual it is important to spend a few minutes aligning and levelling the two nozzles. I will demonstrate the method I use to align the two together.<br />
<br />
Find a suitably pointed object which we'll use as datum and reference point. I like to use pins.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Make sure the Printhead has been Autohomed before you begin, we'll need to use the X, Y & Z Axes to calculate the second extruder's offset.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_centre.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Pin.]]<br />
After running the Autohome function place the pin at the centre of the heated bed approximately 5mm back from the front, i.e. Y is at 5mm on the grid.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_above.jpg|thumb|left|Positioned.]]<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis and move the Printhead so the left extruder sits as close to the top of the pin as you can get it without it actually touching. You will need to move the Axes in 0.1mm increments to get an accurate position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_move.jpg|thumb|left|Next Extruder.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead along the X-Axis in 1.0 mm increments until the right nozzle is close to the pin. Stop before the nozzle touches it.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Unclip the fan from the right HotEnd to access the front grubscrew.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_allen.jpg|thumb|left|Allen.]]<br />
The right nozzle needs to have it's height adjusted level with the left nozzle.<br />
<br />
I find using a short 2mm Allen key is the most effective tool to adjust the grub screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Tighten the grub screws at both the back and front of the HotEnd. You won't need to turn the spanner much, maybe half a turn, to get the alignment close.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_right.jpg|thumb|left|Check Right.]]<br />
When there is enough clearance below the nozzle use the LCD to move the right nozzle over the top of the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_left.jpg|thumb|left|Check Left.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead to change which nozzle is over the pin.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Only adjust the height of the right extruder. It will take a few attempts to get it right, the longer you spend setting it up and the more precisely you can align the two nozzles the better your prints will be!<br />
<br />
When you are finished put the fan back on the HotEnd. '''DON'T''' remove or move the pin yet, you will need it for the next stage of calibration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.2) Extruder Offset===<br />
[[File:dual_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Centre.]]<br />
To print correctly your BigBox needs to know the X & Y difference between the two nozzles.<br />
<br />
Align the left nozzle directly above the pin, Try to get it as close to central as you can. You will likely need to move both X & Y Axes.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 149.8.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Move the printhead so that the right nozzle is exactly centered over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 114.6.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_y.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Now we want to move in the Y-Axis.<br />
<br />
A small mirror on a stick is useful to see the Y alignment between the pin and the nozzle, place the mirror on the bed to the left or right of the X-Carriage and at about 45 degrees. Turn the mirror until the two nozzles line up at which point you can see the offset wrt the pin. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the starting position, 5.00.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Move the Printhead so the nozzle sits exactly over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the new Y position, 5.4.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_calc.jpg|thumb|left|Numbers.]]<br />
Using our measurements we can calculate the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
:'''X'''<br />
::''149.8 - 114.6 ='' '''''35.2'''''<br />
<br />
:'''Y'''<br />
::''5.0 - 5.4 ='' '''''-0.4'''''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.3) G-Code===<br />
[[File:dual_m218.jpg|thumb|left|M218.]]<br />
The M218 G-Code command is used to set the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
For an in depth explanation visit the RepRap Wiki | [http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M218:_Set_Hotend_Offset reprap.org]<br />
<br />
'''M218 T1 X35.2 Y-0.4'''<br />
<br />
The code needs to be sent to the BigBox each time the printer is turned on, or ideally just before a new print is started. <br />
<br />
The easiest way is to add the command to the start-script of your slicers profile. For additional support please visit the forums | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

<hr />
<div>== (1) Belts, Pulleys & Rods==<br />
=== (1.1) X-Axis===<br />
[[File:x_m3_f.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Tighten the clamps holding the X-Axis bars to the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#X-Axis_Motor_Mount|X-Axis Motor Mount]].<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_m3_r.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
There are screws on both sides.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_m3_i.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
Repeat this on the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#X-Axis_Idler_Carriage|X-Axis Idler]].<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Position the X-Axis Pulley with a grub over the flat on the motor shaft.<br />
If necessary tighten the other grub screw a little to hold first grub screw <br />
in position adjacent to the flat on the shaft.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Tighten the grub in the pulley, leave about 1mm of space between the bottom of the pulley and the motor.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_belt_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tension.]]<br />
Insert an 2.5 mm Allen Key into the slot in the Printhead. The slot is immediately below the limit (micro) switch.<br />
<br />
Turning the Allen Key anticlockwise (undo) will tighten the belt.<br />
<br />
Watch this video of the belt being tightened | '''https://youtu.be/5X6I6plC3d8'''<br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (1.2) Y-Axis===<br />
[[File:xy_front.jpg|thumb|left|Slide forward.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
'''We are assuming you have not tightened any of the pulley grubscrews or done up any of the screws holding the Y-Axis components to the frame. If you have done so please loosen them off now.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Front screws.]]<br />
Making sure the Printhead is at the front of the printer, tighten the two screws holding the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Front_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29| Y-Axis Front Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_cork.jpg|thumb|left|Cork.]]<br />
Tightening up the screws will compress the cork pads on the Y-Axis Front Brackets. This is a good thing, however you will need to adjust the tension so the part sits squarely against the frame. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': The cork will compress by 0.5mm - 1mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back.jpg|thumb|left|To the back.]]<br />
After screwing up the both front Y-Axis Brackets move the Printhead to the back of the printer.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Tighten the two screws holding each of the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Rear_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29|Y-Axis Rear Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br />
The cork pads will compress in a similar way to the front. Ensure the parts are square.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Front again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Front Brackets.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Back again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the back of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Rear Brackets.<br />
<br />
Once complete the Y-Axis should run smooth and not feel lumpy or gritty. You may need to loosen some of the Y-Axis Brackets and re-adjust the position.<br />
<br />
Watch this video to see a smooth Y-Axis | '''https://youtu.be/PvswubV-zas'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_push.jpg|thumb|left|Push the pulley.]]<br />
Using an Allen Key or similar push the pulley on the [[BigBox_Printer_main_assemblies:_Step_By_Step_Assembly_Process#Y-Axis_Rear-Bar_Assembly|Y-Axis Rear Bar Assembly]] inwards against the nylon washer.<br />
<br />
Repeat this with the other pulley.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Don't push too hard, you want a little bit of play.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_belt_tension.jpg|thumb|left|Tension the belt.]]<br />
Adjust the tension on the belt by tightening the screw at the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Remember to do this for both belts.<br />
<br />
Watch this video to see the belt tension setting | '''https://youtu.be/dtdeFrBScJQ'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure.jpg|thumb|left|Measure.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Position the one side of the X-Axis a known distance from the front of the frame. In this case I have chosen 70mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure_other.jpg|thumb|left|Measure the other side.]]<br />
Measure the opposite side.<br />
<br />
If there is any difference you can adjust it by holding one end in place and carefully moving the other end so they are both at the same distance. It may take a few goes to get it right. If you find it hard to adjust make sure the grubs on the pulleys are loose.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten the grub screw.]]<br />
Check the pulleys have not shifted while you have been adjusting the axes.<br />
<br />
Tighten the grub screws in the Y-Axis pulleys.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There are two screws in each pulley. There will be four in total.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />

<br />
=== (1.4) Leadscrews===<br />
[[File:bed_up.jpg|thumb|left|Up.]]<br />
Raise up the bed and place an object underneath to keep it supported.<br />
<br />
Make sure that it is possible to extract this object once you have finished the lead screw install WITHOUT having to raise the bed, as to do this you will have to rotate each lead screw by hand. Tip: You could use a few thick books under the bed, which would be easy to slide out again.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:z_autohomed.jpg|thumb|left|Z.]]<br />
The Nozzle will now be at the correct height above the glass and the IR Sensor will be clear of the bed too.<br />
<br />
Now we need to adjust the Z Offset as it is still incorrectly set at 5mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:movez_5.jpg|thumb|left|Move Z.]]<br />
Navigate through the menus to '''Move Z''' in '''0.1mm''' increments.<br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:z_difference.jpg|thumb|left|Difference.]]<br />
Note the change in height.<br />
<br />
The adjustment is 0.5mm, we'll need to input that data into the Z Offset option in the Motion menu.<br />

<br />
If you are building an older '''Non-Hybrid''' and Calibrating Z Offset | [[Non-Hybrid Dual Calibrating Z Offset|Click Here]]<br />
<br />
== (5) Zero X & Y==<br />
<br />
[[File:zero_xy.jpg|thumb|left|Zero.]]<br />
The X & Y Axes will need Zeroing in relation to the build plate. The bed has 0,0 marked in the front left corner. We want to adjust the endstop triggers so the nozzle will be perfectly aligned to those coordinates.<br />
<br />
If you have screwed the end stops screws a long way in, the zero point the X-Carriage goes to when you hit home in the sequence below will be close to the X-Axis edge of the glass plate and the "home" action may push these clips along/off. Adjust the Y-Axis end stop out a little to avoid this.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the zero point is very hard to see on the dual, placing the edge of a thick piece of paper or an envelope along the Y zero axis and marking the edge of the glass plate you can see from the front will allow you to look along and see if the nozzle is aligned at zero. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x.jpg|thumb|left|Move X.]]<br />
After the homing sequence has completed navigate through the menus and select '''1mm''' increments then '''Move X'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_0.jpg|thumb|left|Move to 0.00.]]<br />
Move the X-Axis to '''00.00'''<br />
<br />
After the "home" sequence this 00.00 is where the machine THINKS 00.00 is (as it hits the X limit switch) <br />
Of course it may not be at 0. To adjust this first move the heads out of the way (PREPARE - MOVE AXIS menu sequence) <br />
then adjust the X endstop and run the HOME sequence again and check if X is at zero on the plate. <br />
Loop through this until X= 00.00 on screen is when the nozzle is at X = 0 on the plate. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Incorrect X.]]<br />
If the Y-Axis Endstop trigger is not correctly set the 0 position for X will of course be wrong.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset_adjust.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust the screw.]]<br />
Turning the screw clockwise will move the trigger point further to the left.<br />
<br />
After you have made an adjustment re-run the Auto home sequence.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

[[File:move_y_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Move Y.]]<br />
Repeat the process for the Y-Axis.<br />
Run "home" to see where the Y Axis limit switch is triggered, check this on the plate, adjust the Y endstop (just above the Pi Cam) and run "home" again to see if Y = 00.00 on screen is actually Y = 0 on the plate. Loop round this process until they are. <br />

With both axes setup correctly you'll be able to position the Nozzle to '''0,0'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you have the Hybrid Printhead, the right extruder ('''HE1''') should be aligned to '''0,0'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (6) Z-Axis Calibration==<br />
[[File:loosen_z.jpg|thumb|left|Z-Bed Calibration.]]<br />
To get the best from the Z-Axis one needs to align the Z-Axis Motors with the bed.<br />
<br />
Begin by loosening the four screws holding the motors to the Lower Support. The motors should be able to freely wiggle around.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grease.jpg|thumb|left|Grease.]]<br />
Now is a good time to add a little lithium grease to the top of the leadscrews and rods.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:z_bottomed.jpg|thumb|left|All the way down.]]<br />
Via the menus run the bed all the way down to the bottom.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:z_tight.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Tighten the accessible screws holding the motors.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:more_grease.jpg|thumb|left|More grease.]]<br />
Tighten the screws securing the Brass nuts.<br />
<br />
Apply some more grease to the leadscrews.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:z_screws.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Raise the Z-Axis and tighten the other motor screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (7) Tightening the HotEnd==<br />
[[File:tightening_lower_bed.jpg|thumb|left|Lower the bed.]]<br />
To ensure a leak-free nozzle we need to perform the final tightening. This is done with the nozzle at temperature.<br />
<br />
It is worth at this point checking that you can access the heater block and nozzle with your spanners (before the temperature rises) as access is a little restricted. <br />
<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis, somewhere around 200mm should be fine.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There is a firmware bug which causes the bed to change height and reset to 0, please refer to the forum for support | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_control.jpg|thumb|left|Control.]]<br />

[[File:tightening_spanners.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
While holding the Heater block securely in a pair of pliers, tighten the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Precise instructions from the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Final_Tightening|E3D v6 assembly documentation]].<br />
<br />
''When the HotEnd is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner (5/8" may fit) . This will tighten the nozzle against the HeatBreak and ensure that your HotEnd does not leak. You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle - this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner. The nozzle does not need to be torqued down incredibly tightly to form a good seal, when at lower temperatures the aluminium will contract and hold the Nozzle and HeatBreak together.''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_cooldown.jpg|thumb|left|Off.]]<br />
After the nozzle has been tightened, turn it off.<br />
<br />
From the '''Prepare''' menu select '''Cooldown'''.<br />
<br />
The temperature will now be set to '''0'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The display will not change when you press the knob. To check it has turned off the nozzle return to the main screen.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_nozzle2.jpg|thumb|left|Nozzle 2.]]<br />
For those with a Dual you will need to repeat this process with Nozzle 2.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (8) Dual Nozzle Alignment==<br />
=== (8.1) Levelling===<br />
[[File:dual_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pin.]]<br />
To get the best performance from the BigBox Dual it is important to spend a few minutes aligning and levelling the two nozzles. I will demonstrate the method I use to align the two together.<br />
<br />
Find a suitably pointed object which we'll use as datum and reference point. I like to use pins.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Make sure the Printhead has been Autohomed before you begin, we'll need to use the X, Y & Z Axes to calculate the second extruder's offset.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_centre.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Pin.]]<br />
After running the Autohome function place the pin at the centre of the heated bed approximately 5mm back from the front, i.e. Y is at 5mm on the grid.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_above.jpg|thumb|left|Positioned.]]<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis and move the Printhead so the left extruder sits as close to the top of the pin as you can get it without it actually touching. You will need to move the Axes in 0.1mm increments to get an accurate position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_move.jpg|thumb|left|Next Extruder.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead along the X-Axis in 1.0 mm increments until the right nozzle is close to the pin. Stop before the nozzle touches it.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Unclip the fan from the right HotEnd to access the front grubscrew.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_allen.jpg|thumb|left|Allen.]]<br />
The right nozzle needs to have it's height adjusted level with the left nozzle.<br />
<br />
I find using a short 2mm Allen key is the most effective tool to adjust the grub screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Tighten the grub screws at both the back and front of the HotEnd. You won't need to turn the spanner much, maybe half a turn, to get the alignment close.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_right.jpg|thumb|left|Check Right.]]<br />
When there is enough clearance below the nozzle use the LCD to move the right nozzle over the top of the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_left.jpg|thumb|left|Check Left.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead to change which nozzle is over the pin.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Only adjust the height of the right extruder. It will take a few attempts to get it right, the longer you spend setting it up and the more precisely you can align the two nozzles the better your prints will be!<br />
<br />
When you are finished put the fan back on the HotEnd. '''DON'T''' remove or move the pin yet, you will need it for the next stage of calibration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.2) Extruder Offset===<br />
[[File:dual_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Centre.]]<br />
To print correctly your BigBox needs to know the X & Y difference between the two nozzles.<br />
<br />
Align the left nozzle directly above the pin, Try to get it as close to central as you can. You will likely need to move both X & Y Axes.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 149.8.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Move the printhead so that the right nozzle is exactly centered over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 114.6.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_y.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Now we want to move in the Y-Axis.<br />
<br />
A small mirror on a stick is useful to see the Y alignment between the pin and the nozzle, place the mirror on the bed to the left or right of the X-Carriage and at about 45 degrees. Turn the mirror until the two nozzles line up at which point you can see the offset wrt the pin. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the starting position, 5.00.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Move the Printhead so the nozzle sits exactly over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the new Y position, 5.4.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_calc.jpg|thumb|left|Numbers.]]<br />
Using our measurements we can calculate the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
:'''X'''<br />
::''149.8 - 114.6 ='' '''''35.2'''''<br />
<br />
:'''Y'''<br />
::''5.0 - 5.4 ='' '''''-0.4'''''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.3) G-Code===<br />
[[File:dual_m218.jpg|thumb|left|M218.]]<br />
The M218 G-Code command is used to set the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
For an in depth explanation visit the RepRap Wiki | [http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M218:_Set_Hotend_Offset reprap.org]<br />
<br />
'''M218 T1 X35.2 Y-0.4'''<br />
<br />
The code needs to be sent to the BigBox each time the printer is turned on, or ideally just before a new print is started. <br />
<br />
The easiest way is to add the command to the start-script of your slicers profile. For additional support please visit the forums | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

<br />
== (9) Bed levelling==<br />
=== (9.1) Auto-Levelling the Pro, Lite & Hybrid===<br />
[[File:autolevelling.jpg|thumb|left|Autolevelling.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Run an '''Auto home''' sequence, then via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
To watch a video of the homing sequence click here | '''https://youtu.be/2_GjLWiQV_I'''<br />
<br />
If the Level Bed function performs correctly your printer is now correctly calibrated and levelled.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (9.2) Mesh Levelling the Dual===<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper.jpg|thumb|left|Mesh levelling.]]<br />
The Mesh levelling sequence performs a more accurate and consistent function that the standard Auto levelling used by the Pro & Lite versions.<br />
<br />
The process is a little more involved but the results are worth the extra work.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in the mechanics of the process there is a short paper written by the engineer who implemented the system into Marlin | [https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/wiki/Manual-bed-leveling---mesh-bed-leveling Mesh Bed Levelling].<br />
<br />
To begin cut a short strip of paper.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_start.jpg|thumb|left|Level Bed.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
The BigBox will home X, Y & Z and then move to a position approximately X10, Y10.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper_next.jpg|thumb|left|Papered.]]<br />
Place the strip of paper under the left nozzle.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_lcd_adj.jpg|thumb|left|LCD.]]<br />
The LCD will display a value of 4.0.<br />
<br />
Rotating the knob will adjust the position of the bed.<br />
<br />
Move the bed up so that the paper is just able to slide around under the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Push the knob to continue.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next.jpg|thumb|left|Next.]]<br />
The Printhead will then move to the next position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust.]]<br />
Place the paper under the nozzle again and adjust the bed's height as before.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_last.jpg|thumb|left|Last one.]]<br />
There are a total of 9 points measured over the bed with the last being in the back right.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_home.jpg|thumb|left|Home.]]<br />
When the process has complete the Printhead will return to the home position, this time however '''it will move to X5, Y5, Z4.''' This can be seen on the LCD.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_store.jpg|thumb|left|Store.]]<br />
From the '''Control''' menu select '''Store memory'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The LCD will beep but nothing will change on the screen when the knob is pressed.<br />
<br />
The Mesh information will be permanently stored to the Rumba's EEPROM. You will not need to level the bed again unless you make any mechanical changes to the printer.<br />
<br />
At this stage you may wish to '''adjust the height of the "print cooling" fans''' (those at the left and right of the nozzles) These fans have a duct to prevent the air from them cooling the nozzles (look closely) as if the nozzle temperature drops too low the print will fail. '''Adjust these fans so that they are a few mm higher than the tip of the nozzles.''' i.e. just high enough to avoid the print itself and also high enough not to hit the wiper on the bucket. <br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Tighten the grub in the pulley, leave about 1mm of space between the bottom of the pulley and the motor.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

=== (1.2) Y-Axis===<br />
[[File:xy_front.jpg|thumb|left|Slide forward.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
'''We are assuming you have not tightened any of the pulley grubscrews or done up any of the screws holding the Y-Axis components to the frame. If you have done so please loosen them off now.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Front screws.]]<br />
Making sure the Printhead is at the front of the printer, tighten the two screws holding the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Front_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29| Y-Axis Front Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_cork.jpg|thumb|left|Cork.]]<br />
Tightening up the screws will compress the cork pads on the Y-Axis Front Brackets. This is a good thing, however you will need to adjust the tension so the part sits squarely against the frame. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': The cork will compress by 0.5mm - 1mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back.jpg|thumb|left|To the back.]]<br />
After screwing up the both front Y-Axis Brackets move the Printhead to the back of the printer.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Tighten the two screws holding each of the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Rear_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29|Y-Axis Rear Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br />
The cork pads will compress in a similar way to the front. Ensure the parts are square.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Front again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Front Brackets.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Back again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the back of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Rear Brackets.<br />
<br />
Once complete the Y-Axis should run smooth and not feel lumpy or gritty. You may need to loosen some of the Y-Axis Brackets and re-adjust the position.<br />
<br />
Watch this video to see a smooth Y-Axis | '''https://youtu.be/PvswubV-zas'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_push.jpg|thumb|left|Push the pulley.]]<br />
Using an Allen Key or similar push the pulley on the [[BigBox_Printer_main_assemblies:_Step_By_Step_Assembly_Process#Y-Axis_Rear-Bar_Assembly|Y-Axis Rear Bar Assembly]] inwards against the nylon washer.<br />
<br />
Repeat this with the other pulley.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Don't push too hard, you want a little bit of play.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_belt_tension.jpg|thumb|left|Tension the belt.]]<br />
Adjust the tension on the belt by tightening the screw at the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Remember to do this for both belts.<br />
<br />

[[File:xy_front_measure.jpg|thumb|left|Measure.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Position the one side of the X-Axis a known distance from the front of the frame. In this case I have chosen 70mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure_other.jpg|thumb|left|Measure the other side.]]<br />
Measure the opposite side.<br />
<br />
If there is any difference you can adjust it by holding one end in place and carefully moving the other end so they are both at the same distance. It may take a few goes to get it right. If you find it hard to adjust make sure the grubs on the pulleys are loose.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten the grub screw.]]<br />
Check the pulleys have not shifted while you have been adjusting the axes.<br />

=== (1.4) Leadscrews===<br />
[[File:bed_up.jpg|thumb|left|Up.]]<br />
Raise up the bed and place an object underneath to keep it supported.<br />
<br />
Make sure that it is possible to extract this object once you have finished the lead screw install WITHOUT having to raise the bed, as to do this you will have to rotate each lead screw by hand. Tip: You could use a few thick books under the bed, which would be easy to slide out again.<br />

== (5) Zero X & Y==<br />
<br />
[[File:zero_xy.jpg|thumb|left|Zero.]]<br />
The X & Y Axes will need Zeroing in relation to the build plate. The bed has 0,0 marked in the front left corner. We want to adjust the endstop triggers so the nozzle will be perfectly aligned to those coordinates.<br />
<br />
If you have screwed the end stops screws a long way in, the zero point the X-Carriage goes to when you hit home in the sequence below will be close to the X-Axis edge of the glass plate and the "home" action may push these clips along/off. Adjust the Y-Axis end stop out a little to avoid this.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the zero point is very hard to see on the dual, placing the edge of a thick piece of paper or an envelope along the Y zero axis and marking the edge of the glass plate you can see from the front will allow you to look along and see if the nozzle is aligned at zero. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x.jpg|thumb|left|Move X.]]<br />
After the homing sequence has completed navigate through the menus and select '''1mm''' increments then '''Move X'''.<br />

<br />
[[File:move_x_0.jpg|thumb|left|Move to 0.00.]]<br />
Move the X-Axis to '''00.00'''<br />
<br />
After the "home" sequence this 00.00 is where the machine THINKS 00.00 is (as it hits the X limit switch) <br />
Of course it may not be at 0. To adjust this first move the heads out of the way (PREPARE - MOVE AXIS menu sequence) <br />
then adjust the X endstop and run the HOME sequence again and check if X is at zero on the plate. <br />
Loop through this until X= 00.00 on screen is when the nozzle is at X = 0 on the plate. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Incorrect X.]]<br />
If the Y-Axis Endstop trigger is not correctly set the 0 position for X will of course be wrong.<br />

== (7) Tightening the HotEnd==<br />
[[File:tightening_lower_bed.jpg|thumb|left|Lower the bed.]]<br />
To ensure a leak-free nozzle we need to perform the final tightening. This is done with the nozzle at temperature.<br />
<br />
It is worth at this point checking that you can access the heater block and nozzle with your spanners (before the temperature rises) as access is a little restricted. <br />
<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis, somewhere around 200mm should be fine.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There is a firmware bug which causes the bed to change height and reset to 0, please refer to the forum for support | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

While holding the Heater block securely in a pair of pliers, tighten the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Precise instructions from the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Final_Tightening|E3D v6 assembly documentation]].<br />
<br />
''When the HotEnd is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner (5/8" may fit) . This will tighten the nozzle against the HeatBreak and ensure that your HotEnd does not leak. You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle - this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner. The nozzle does not need to be torqued down incredibly tightly to form a good seal, when at lower temperatures the aluminium will contract and hold the Nozzle and HeatBreak together.''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_cooldown.jpg|thumb|left|Off.]]<br />
After the nozzle has been tightened, turn it off.<br />
<br />
From the '''Prepare''' menu select '''Cooldown'''.<br />
<br />
The temperature will now be set to '''0'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The display will not change when you press the knob. To check it has turned off the nozzle return to the main screen.<br />

For those with a Dual you will need to repeat this process with Nozzle 2.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (8) Dual Nozzle Alignment==<br />
=== (8.1) Levelling===<br />
[[File:dual_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pin.]]<br />
To get the best performance from the BigBox Dual it is important to spend a few minutes aligning and levelling the two nozzles. I will demonstrate the method I use to align the two together.<br />
<br />
Find a suitably pointed object which we'll use as datum and reference point. I like to use pins.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Make sure the Printhead has been Autohomed before you begin, we'll need to use the X, Y & Z Axes to calculate the second extruder's offset.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_centre.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Pin.]]<br />
After running the Autohome function place the pin at the centre of the heated bed approximately 5mm back from the front, i.e. Y is at 5mm on the grid.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_above.jpg|thumb|left|Positioned.]]<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis and move the Printhead so the left extruder sits as close to the top of the pin as you can get it without it actually touching. You will need to move the Axes in 0.1mm increments to get an accurate position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_move.jpg|thumb|left|Next Extruder.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead along the X-Axis in 1.0 mm increments until the right nozzle is close to the pin. Stop before the nozzle touches it.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Unclip the fan from the right HotEnd to access the front grubscrew.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_allen.jpg|thumb|left|Allen.]]<br />
The right nozzle needs to have it's height adjusted level with the left nozzle.<br />
<br />
I find using a short 2mm Allen key is the most effective tool to adjust the grub screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Tighten the grub screws at both the back and front of the HotEnd. You won't need to turn the spanner much, maybe half a turn, to get the alignment close.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_right.jpg|thumb|left|Check Right.]]<br />
When there is enough clearance below the nozzle use the LCD to move the right nozzle over the top of the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_left.jpg|thumb|left|Check Left.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead to change which nozzle is over the pin.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Only adjust the height of the right extruder. It will take a few attempts to get it right, the longer you spend setting it up and the more precisely you can align the two nozzles the better your prints will be!<br />
<br />
When you are finished put the fan back on the HotEnd. '''DON'T''' remove or move the pin yet, you will need it for the next stage of calibration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.2) Extruder Offset===<br />
[[File:dual_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Centre.]]<br />
To print correctly your BigBox needs to know the X & Y difference between the two nozzles.<br />
<br />
Align the left nozzle directly above the pin, Try to get it as close to central as you can. You will likely need to move both X & Y Axes.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 149.8.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Move the printhead so that the right nozzle is exactly centered over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 114.6.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_y.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Now we want to move in the Y-Axis.<br />
<br />
A small mirror on a stick is useful to see the Y alignment between the pin and the nozzle, place the mirror on the bed to the left or right of the X-Carriage and at about 45 degrees. Turn the mirror until the two nozzles line up at which point you can see the offset wrt the pin. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the starting position, 5.00.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Move the Printhead so the nozzle sits exactly over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the new Y position, 5.4.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_calc.jpg|thumb|left|Numbers.]]<br />
Using our measurements we can calculate the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
:'''X'''<br />
::''149.8 - 114.6 ='' '''''35.2'''''<br />
<br />
:'''Y'''<br />
::''5.0 - 5.4 ='' '''''-0.4'''''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.3) G-Code===<br />
[[File:dual_m218.jpg|thumb|left|M218.]]<br />
The M218 G-Code command is used to set the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
For an in depth explanation visit the RepRap Wiki | [http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M218:_Set_Hotend_Offset reprap.org]<br />
<br />
'''M218 T1 X35.2 Y-0.4'''<br />
<br />
The code needs to be sent to the BigBox each time the printer is turned on, or ideally just before a new print is started. <br />
<br />
The easiest way is to add the command to the start-script of your slicers profile. For additional support please visit the forums | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

== (9) Bed levelling==<br />
=== (9.1) Auto-Levelling the Pro, Lite & Hybrid===<br />
[[File:autolevelling.jpg|thumb|left|Autolevelling.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Run an '''Auto home''' sequence, then via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
To watch a video of the homing sequence click here | '''https://youtu.be/2_GjLWiQV_I'''<br />
<br />
If the Level Bed function performs correctly your printer is now correctly calibrated and levelled.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (9.2) Mesh Levelling the Dual===<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper.jpg|thumb|left|Mesh levelling.]]<br />
The Mesh levelling sequence performs a more accurate and consistent function that the standard Auto levelling used by the Pro & Lite versions.<br />
<br />
The process is a little more involved but the results are worth the extra work.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in the mechanics of the process there is a short paper written by the engineer who implemented the system into Marlin | [https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/wiki/Manual-bed-leveling---mesh-bed-leveling Mesh Bed Levelling].<br />
<br />
To begin cut a short strip of paper.<br />

[[File:bedlevelling_start.jpg|thumb|left|Level Bed.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
The BigBox will home X, Y & Z and then move to a position approximately X10, Y10.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper_next.jpg|thumb|left|Papered.]]<br />

The LCD will display a value of 4.0.<br />
<br />
Rotating the knob will adjust the position of the bed.<br />
<br />
Move the bed up so that the paper is just able to slide around under the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Push the knob to continue.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next.jpg|thumb|left|Next.]]<br />
The Printhead will then move to the next position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust.]]<br />
Place the paper under the nozzle again and adjust the bed's height as before.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_last.jpg|thumb|left|Last one.]]<br />
There are a total of 9 points measured over the bed with the last being in the back right.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_home.jpg|thumb|left|Home.]]<br />
When the process has complete the Printhead will return to the home position, this time however '''it will move to X5, Y5, Z4.''' This can be seen on the LCD.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_store.jpg|thumb|left|Store.]]<br />
From the '''Control''' menu select '''Store memory'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The LCD will beep but nothing will change on the screen when the knob is pressed.<br />
<br />
The Mesh information will be permanently stored to the Rumba's EEPROM. You will not need to level the bed again unless you make any mechanical changes to the printer.<br />
<br />
At this stage you may wish to '''adjust the height of the "print cooling" fans''' (those at the left and right of the nozzles) These fans have a duct to prevent the air from them cooling the nozzles (look closely) as if the nozzle temperature drops too low the print will fail. '''Adjust these fans so that they are a few mm higher than the tip of the nozzles.''' i.e. just high enough to avoid the print itself and also high enough not to hit the wiper on the bucket. <br />

=== (1.2) Y-Axis===<br />
[[File:xy_front.jpg|thumb|left|Slide forward.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
'''We are assuming you have not tightened any of the pulley grubscrews or done up any of the screws holding the Y-Axis components to the frame. If you have done so please loosen them off now.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Front screws.]]<br />
Making sure the Printhead is at the front of the printer, tighten the two screws holding the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Front_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29| Y-Axis Front Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_cork.jpg|thumb|left|Cork.]]<br />
Tightening up the screws will compress the cork pads on the Y-Axis Front Brackets. This is a good thing, however you will need to adjust the tension so the part sits squarely against the frame. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': The cork will compress by 0.5mm - 1mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back.jpg|thumb|left|To the back.]]<br />
After screwing up the both front Y-Axis Brackets move the Printhead to the back of the printer.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Tighten the two screws holding each of the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Rear_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29|Y-Axis Rear Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br />
The cork pads will compress in a similar way to the front. Ensure the parts are square.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

[[File:xy_back_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Back again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the back of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Rear Brackets.<br />
<br />
Once complete the Y-Axis should run smooth and not feel lumpy or gritty. You may need to loosen some of the Y-Axis Brackets and re-adjust the position.<br />
<br />

Using an Allen Key or similar push the pulley on the [[BigBox_Printer_main_assemblies:_Step_By_Step_Assembly_Process#Y-Axis_Rear-Bar_Assembly|Y-Axis Rear Bar Assembly]] inwards against the nylon washer.<br />
<br />
Repeat this with the other pulley.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Don't push too hard, you want a little bit of play.<br />

[[File:xy_front_measure.jpg|thumb|left|Measure.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Position the one side of the X-Axis a known distance from the front of the frame. In this case I have chosen 70mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure_other.jpg|thumb|left|Measure the other side.]]<br />
Measure the opposite side.<br />
<br />
If there is any difference you can adjust it by holding one end in place and carefully moving the other end so they are both at the same distance. It may take a few goes to get it right. If you find it hard to adjust make sure the grubs on the pulleys are loose.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten the grub screw.]]<br />
Check the pulleys have not shifted while you have been adjusting the axes.<br />

Tighten the grub screws in the Y-Axis pulleys.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There are two screws in each pulley. There will be four in total.<br />

Raise up the bed and place an object underneath to keep it supported.<br />
<br />
Make sure that it is possible to extract this object once you have finished the lead screw install WITHOUT having to raise the bed, as to do this you will have to rotate each lead screw by hand. Tip: You could use a few thick books under the bed, which would be easy to slide out again.<br />

== (5) Zero X & Y==<br />
<br />
[[File:zero_xy.jpg|thumb|left|Zero.]]<br />
The X & Y Axes will need Zeroing in relation to the build plate. The bed has 0,0 marked in the front left corner. We want to adjust the endstop triggers so the nozzle will be perfectly aligned to those coordinates.<br />
<br />
If you have screwed the end stops screws a long way in, the zero point the X-Carriage goes to when you hit home in the sequence below will be close to the X-Axis edge of the glass plate and the "home" action may push these clips along/off. Adjust the Y-Axis end stop out a little to avoid this.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the zero point is very hard to see on the dual, placing the edge of a thick piece of paper or an envelope along the Y zero axis and marking the edge of the glass plate you can see from the front will allow you to look along and see if the nozzle is aligned at zero. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x.jpg|thumb|left|Move X.]]<br />
After the homing sequence has completed navigate through the menus and select '''1mm''' increments then '''Move X'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_0.jpg|thumb|left|Move to 0.00.]]<br />
Move the X-Axis to '''00.00'''<br />
<br />
After the "home" sequence this 00.00 is where the machine THINKS 00.00 is (as it hits the X limit switch) <br />
Of course it may not be at 0. To adjust this first move the heads out of the way (PREPARE - MOVE AXIS menu sequence) <br />
then adjust the X endstop and run the HOME sequence again and check if X is at zero on the plate. <br />
Loop through this until X= 00.00 on screen is when the nozzle is at X = 0 on the plate. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Incorrect X.]]<br />
If the Y-Axis Endstop trigger is not correctly set the 0 position for X will of course be wrong.<br />

'''Note''': If you have the Hybrid Printhead, the right extruder ('''HE1''') should be aligned to '''0,0'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (6) Z-Axis Calibration==<br />
[[File:loosen_z.jpg|thumb|left|Z-Bed Calibration.]]<br />
To get the best from the Z-Axis one needs to align the Z-Axis Motors with the bed.<br />
<br />

== (7) Tightening the HotEnd==<br />
[[File:tightening_lower_bed.jpg|thumb|left|Lower the bed.]]<br />
To ensure a leak-free nozzle we need to perform the final tightening. This is done with the nozzle at temperature.<br />
<br />
It is worth at this point checking that you can access the heater block and nozzle with your spanners (before the temperature rises) as access is a little restricted. <br />
<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis, somewhere around 200mm should be fine.<br />
<br />

While holding the Heater block securely in a pair of pliers, tighten the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Precise instructions from the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Final_Tightening|E3D v6 assembly documentation]].<br />
<br />
''When the HotEnd is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner (5/8" may fit) . This will tighten the nozzle against the HeatBreak and ensure that your HotEnd does not leak. You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle - this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner. The nozzle does not need to be torqued down incredibly tightly to form a good seal, when at lower temperatures the aluminium will contract and hold the Nozzle and HeatBreak together.''<br />

'''Note''': The display will not change when you press the knob. To check it has turned off the nozzle return to the main screen.<br />

For those with a Dual you will need to repeat this process with Nozzle 2.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (8) Dual Nozzle Alignment==<br />
=== (8.1) Levelling===<br />
[[File:dual_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pin.]]<br />
To get the best performance from the BigBox Dual it is important to spend a few minutes aligning and levelling the two nozzles. I will demonstrate the method I use to align the two together.<br />
<br />
Find a suitably pointed object which we'll use as datum and reference point. I like to use pins.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Make sure the Printhead has been Autohomed before you begin, we'll need to use the X, Y & Z Axes to calculate the second extruder's offset.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_centre.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Pin.]]<br />
After running the Autohome function place the pin at the centre of the heated bed approximately 5mm back from the front, i.e. Y is at 5mm on the grid.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_above.jpg|thumb|left|Positioned.]]<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis and move the Printhead so the left extruder sits as close to the top of the pin as you can get it without it actually touching. You will need to move the Axes in 0.1mm increments to get an accurate position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_move.jpg|thumb|left|Next Extruder.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead along the X-Axis in 1.0 mm increments until the right nozzle is close to the pin. Stop before the nozzle touches it.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Unclip the fan from the right HotEnd to access the front grubscrew.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_allen.jpg|thumb|left|Allen.]]<br />
The right nozzle needs to have it's height adjusted level with the left nozzle.<br />
<br />
I find using a short 2mm Allen key is the most effective tool to adjust the grub screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Tighten the grub screws at both the back and front of the HotEnd. You won't need to turn the spanner much, maybe half a turn, to get the alignment close.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_right.jpg|thumb|left|Check Right.]]<br />
When there is enough clearance below the nozzle use the LCD to move the right nozzle over the top of the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_left.jpg|thumb|left|Check Left.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead to change which nozzle is over the pin.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Only adjust the height of the right extruder. It will take a few attempts to get it right, the longer you spend setting it up and the more precisely you can align the two nozzles the better your prints will be!<br />
<br />
When you are finished put the fan back on the HotEnd. '''DON'T''' remove or move the pin yet, you will need it for the next stage of calibration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.2) Extruder Offset===<br />
[[File:dual_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Centre.]]<br />
To print correctly your BigBox needs to know the X & Y difference between the two nozzles.<br />
<br />
Align the left nozzle directly above the pin, Try to get it as close to central as you can. You will likely need to move both X & Y Axes.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 149.8.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Move the printhead so that the right nozzle is exactly centered over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 114.6.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_y.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Now we want to move in the Y-Axis.<br />
<br />
A small mirror on a stick is useful to see the Y alignment between the pin and the nozzle, place the mirror on the bed to the left or right of the X-Carriage and at about 45 degrees. Turn the mirror until the two nozzles line up at which point you can see the offset wrt the pin. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the starting position, 5.00.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Move the Printhead so the nozzle sits exactly over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the new Y position, 5.4.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_calc.jpg|thumb|left|Numbers.]]<br />
Using our measurements we can calculate the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
:'''X'''<br />
::''149.8 - 114.6 ='' '''''35.2'''''<br />
<br />
:'''Y'''<br />
::''5.0 - 5.4 ='' '''''-0.4'''''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.3) G-Code===<br />
[[File:dual_m218.jpg|thumb|left|M218.]]<br />
The M218 G-Code command is used to set the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
For an in depth explanation visit the RepRap Wiki | [http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M218:_Set_Hotend_Offset reprap.org]<br />
<br />
'''M218 T1 X35.2 Y-0.4'''<br />
<br />
The code needs to be sent to the BigBox each time the printer is turned on, or ideally just before a new print is started. <br />
<br />
The easiest way is to add the command to the start-script of your slicers profile. For additional support please visit the forums | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (9) Bed levelling==<br />
=== (9.1) Auto-Levelling the Pro, Lite & Hybrid===<br />
[[File:autolevelling.jpg|thumb|left|Autolevelling.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Run an '''Auto home''' sequence, then via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
To watch a video of the homing sequence click here | '''https://youtu.be/2_GjLWiQV_I'''<br />
<br />
If the Level Bed function performs correctly your printer is now correctly calibrated and levelled.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (9.2) Mesh Levelling the Dual===<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper.jpg|thumb|left|Mesh levelling.]]<br />
The Mesh levelling sequence performs a more accurate and consistent function that the standard Auto levelling used by the Pro & Lite versions.<br />
<br />
The process is a little more involved but the results are worth the extra work.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in the mechanics of the process there is a short paper written by the engineer who implemented the system into Marlin | [https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/wiki/Manual-bed-leveling---mesh-bed-leveling Mesh Bed Levelling].<br />
<br />
To begin cut a short strip of paper.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_start.jpg|thumb|left|Level Bed.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
The BigBox will home X, Y & Z and then move to a position approximately X10, Y10.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper_next.jpg|thumb|left|Papered.]]<br />
Place the strip of paper under the left nozzle.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_lcd_adj.jpg|thumb|left|LCD.]]<br />
The LCD will display a value of 4.0.<br />
<br />
Rotating the knob will adjust the position of the bed.<br />
<br />
Move the bed up so that the paper is just able to slide around under the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Push the knob to continue.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next.jpg|thumb|left|Next.]]<br />
The Printhead will then move to the next position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust.]]<br />
Place the paper under the nozzle again and adjust the bed's height as before.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_last.jpg|thumb|left|Last one.]]<br />
There are a total of 9 points measured over the bed with the last being in the back right.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_home.jpg|thumb|left|Home.]]<br />
When the process has complete the Printhead will return to the home position, this time however '''it will move to X5, Y5, Z4.''' This can be seen on the LCD.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_store.jpg|thumb|left|Store.]]<br />
From the '''Control''' menu select '''Store memory'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The LCD will beep but nothing will change on the screen when the knob is pressed.<br />
<br />
The Mesh information will be permanently stored to the Rumba's EEPROM. You will not need to level the bed again unless you make any mechanical changes to the printer.<br />
<br />
At this stage you may wish to '''adjust the height of the "print cooling" fans''' (those at the left and right of the nozzles) These fans have a duct to prevent the air from them cooling the nozzles (look closely) as if the nozzle temperature drops too low the print will fail. '''Adjust these fans so that they are a few mm higher than the tip of the nozzles.''' i.e. just high enough to avoid the print itself and also high enough not to hit the wiper on the bucket. <br />

<div>== (1) Belts, Pulleys & Rods==<br />
=== (1.1) X-Axis===<br />
[[File:x_m3_f.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Tighten the clamps holding the X-Axis bars to the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#X-Axis_Motor_Mount|X-Axis Motor Mount]].<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_m3_r.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
There are screws on both sides.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_m3_i.jpg|thumb|left|Rod clamps.]]<br />
Repeat this on the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#X-Axis_Idler_Carriage|X-Axis Idler]].<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Position the X-Axis Pulley with a grub over the flat on the motor shaft.<br />
If necessary tighten the other grub screw a little to hold first grub screw <br />
in position adjacent to the flat on the shaft.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Pulley.]]<br />
Tighten the grub in the pulley, leave about 1mm of space between the bottom of the pulley and the motor.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:x_belt_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tension.]]<br />
Insert an 2.5 mm Allen Key into the slot in the Printhead. The slot is immediately below the limit (micro) switch.<br />
<br />
Turning the Allen Key anticlockwise (undo) will tighten the belt.<br />
<br />
Watch this video of the belt being tightened | '''https://youtu.be/5X6I6plC3d8'''<br />
<br />
Watch this video of a correctly tensioned belt | '''https://youtu.be/0RpnXo2UQ0Y'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (1.2) Y-Axis===<br />
[[File:xy_front.jpg|thumb|left|Slide forward.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
'''We are assuming you have not tightened any of the pulley grubscrews or done up any of the screws holding the Y-Axis components to the frame. If you have done so please loosen them off now.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Front screws.]]<br />
Making sure the Printhead is at the front of the printer, tighten the two screws holding the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Front_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29| Y-Axis Front Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_cork.jpg|thumb|left|Cork.]]<br />
Tightening up the screws will compress the cork pads on the Y-Axis Front Brackets. This is a good thing, however you will need to adjust the tension so the part sits squarely against the frame. <br />
<br />
'''Note''': The cork will compress by 0.5mm - 1mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back.jpg|thumb|left|To the back.]]<br />
After screwing up the both front Y-Axis Brackets move the Printhead to the back of the printer.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Tighten the two screws holding each of the [[BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Y-Axis_Rear_Brackets_.28Left_.26_Right.29|Y-Axis Rear Brackets]] to the frame.<br />
<br />
The cork pads will compress in a similar way to the front. Ensure the parts are square.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Front again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Front Brackets.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_back_m3.jpg|thumb|left|Back again.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the back of the printer again and tighten the screw in the side of the Y-Axis Rear Brackets.<br />
<br />
Once complete the Y-Axis should run smooth and not feel lumpy or gritty. You may need to loosen some of the Y-Axis Brackets and re-adjust the position.<br />
<br />
Watch this video to see a smooth Y-Axis | '''https://youtu.be/PvswubV-zas'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_push.jpg|thumb|left|Push the pulley.]]<br />
Using an Allen Key or similar push the pulley on the [[BigBox_Printer_main_assemblies:_Step_By_Step_Assembly_Process#Y-Axis_Rear-Bar_Assembly|Y-Axis Rear Bar Assembly]] inwards against the nylon washer.<br />
<br />
Repeat this with the other pulley.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Don't push too hard, you want a little bit of play.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_belt_tension.jpg|thumb|left|Tension the belt.]]<br />
Adjust the tension on the belt by tightening the screw at the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Remember to do this for both belts.<br />
<br />
Watch this video to see the belt tension setting | '''https://youtu.be/dtdeFrBScJQ'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure.jpg|thumb|left|Measure.]]<br />
Move the Printhead to the front of the printer.<br />
<br />
Position the one side of the X-Axis a known distance from the front of the frame. In this case I have chosen 70mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:xy_front_measure_other.jpg|thumb|left|Measure the other side.]]<br />
Measure the opposite side.<br />
<br />
If there is any difference you can adjust it by holding one end in place and carefully moving the other end so they are both at the same distance. It may take a few goes to get it right. If you find it hard to adjust make sure the grubs on the pulleys are loose.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:xy_pulley_tighten.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten the grub screw.]]<br />
Check the pulleys have not shifted while you have been adjusting the axes.<br />
<br />
Tighten the grub screws in the Y-Axis pulleys.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There are two screws in each pulley. There will be four in total.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
==== (1.2.1) Y-Axis Motor====<br />

=== (1.4) Leadscrews===<br />
[[File:bed_up.jpg|thumb|left|Up.]]<br />
Raise up the bed and place an object underneath to keep it supported.<br />
<br />
Make sure that it is possible to extract this object once you have finished the lead screw install WITHOUT having to raise the bed, as to do this you will have to rotate each lead screw by hand. Tip: You could use a few thick books under the bed, which would be easy to slide out again.<br />

== (5) Zero X & Y==<br />
<br />
[[File:zero_xy.jpg|thumb|left|Zero.]]<br />
The X & Y Axes will need Zeroing in relation to the build plate. The bed has 0,0 marked in the front left corner. We want to adjust the endstop triggers so the nozzle will be perfectly aligned to those coordinates.<br />
<br />
If you have screwed the end stops screws a long way in, the zero point the X-Carriage goes to when you hit home in the sequence below will be close to the X-Axis edge of the glass plate and the "home" action may push these clips along/off. Adjust the Y-Axis end stop out a little to avoid this.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the zero point is very hard to see on the dual, placing the edge of a thick piece of paper or an envelope along the Y zero axis and marking the edge of the glass plate you can see from the front will allow you to look along and see if the nozzle is aligned at zero. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x.jpg|thumb|left|Move X.]]<br />
After the homing sequence has completed navigate through the menus and select '''1mm''' increments then '''Move X'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_0.jpg|thumb|left|Move to 0.00.]]<br />
Move the X-Axis to '''00.00'''<br />
<br />
After the "home" sequence this 00.00 is where the machine THINKS 00.00 is (as it hits the X limit switch) <br />
Of course it may not be at 0. To adjust this first move the heads out of the way (PREPARE - MOVE AXIS menu sequence) <br />
then adjust the X endstop and run the HOME sequence again and check if X is at zero on the plate. <br />
Loop through this until X= 00.00 on screen is when the nozzle is at X = 0 on the plate. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:move_x_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Incorrect X.]]<br />
If the Y-Axis Endstop trigger is not correctly set the 0 position for X will of course be wrong.<br />

<br />
[[File:move_x_offset_adjust.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust the screw.]]<br />

'''Note''': If you have the Hybrid Printhead, the right extruder ('''HE1''') should be aligned to '''0,0'''.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (6) Z-Axis Calibration==<br />
[[File:loosen_z.jpg|thumb|left|Z-Bed Calibration.]]<br />
To get the best from the Z-Axis one needs to align the Z-Axis Motors with the bed.<br />
<br />
Begin by loosening the four screws holding the motors to the Lower Support. The motors should be able to freely wiggle around.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

<br />
== (7) Tightening the HotEnd==<br />
[[File:tightening_lower_bed.jpg|thumb|left|Lower the bed.]]<br />
To ensure a leak-free nozzle we need to perform the final tightening. This is done with the nozzle at temperature.<br />
<br />
It is worth at this point checking that you can access the heater block and nozzle with your spanners (before the temperature rises) as access is a little restricted. <br />
<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis, somewhere around 200mm should be fine.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': There is a firmware bug which causes the bed to change height and reset to 0, please refer to the forum for support | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

While holding the Heater block securely in a pair of pliers, tighten the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Precise instructions from the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#Final_Tightening|E3D v6 assembly documentation]].<br />
<br />
''When the HotEnd is at temperature, tighten the nozzle whilst holding the heater block with a spanner (5/8" may fit) . This will tighten the nozzle against the HeatBreak and ensure that your HotEnd does not leak. You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle - this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner. The nozzle does not need to be torqued down incredibly tightly to form a good seal, when at lower temperatures the aluminium will contract and hold the Nozzle and HeatBreak together.''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:tightening_cooldown.jpg|thumb|left|Off.]]<br />
After the nozzle has been tightened, turn it off.<br />

== (8) Dual Nozzle Alignment==<br />
=== (8.1) Levelling===<br />
[[File:dual_align.jpg|thumb|left|Pin.]]<br />
To get the best performance from the BigBox Dual it is important to spend a few minutes aligning and levelling the two nozzles. I will demonstrate the method I use to align the two together.<br />
<br />
Find a suitably pointed object which we'll use as datum and reference point. I like to use pins.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Make sure the Printhead has been Autohomed before you begin, we'll need to use the X, Y & Z Axes to calculate the second extruder's offset.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_centre.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Pin.]]<br />
After running the Autohome function place the pin at the centre of the heated bed approximately 5mm back from the front, i.e. Y is at 5mm on the grid.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_above.jpg|thumb|left|Positioned.]]<br />
Using the LCD lower the Z-Axis and move the Printhead so the left extruder sits as close to the top of the pin as you can get it without it actually touching. You will need to move the Axes in 0.1mm increments to get an accurate position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_move.jpg|thumb|left|Next Extruder.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead along the X-Axis in 1.0 mm increments until the right nozzle is close to the pin. Stop before the nozzle touches it.<br />

Unclip the fan from the right HotEnd to access the front grubscrew.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_allen.jpg|thumb|left|Allen.]]<br />
The right nozzle needs to have it's height adjusted level with the left nozzle.<br />
<br />
I find using a short 2mm Allen key is the most effective tool to adjust the grub screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_fan_off.jpg|thumb|left|Fan Off.]]<br />
Tighten the grub screws at both the back and front of the HotEnd. You won't need to turn the spanner much, maybe half a turn, to get the alignment close.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_right.jpg|thumb|left|Check Right.]]<br />
When there is enough clearance below the nozzle use the LCD to move the right nozzle over the top of the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_align_pin_left.jpg|thumb|left|Check Left.]]<br />
Using the LCD move the Printhead to change which nozzle is over the pin.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Only adjust the height of the right extruder. It will take a few attempts to get it right, the longer you spend setting it up and the more precisely you can align the two nozzles the better your prints will be!<br />
<br />
When you are finished put the fan back on the HotEnd. '''DON'T''' remove or move the pin yet, you will need it for the next stage of calibration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.2) Extruder Offset===<br />
[[File:dual_offset.jpg|thumb|left|Centre.]]<br />
To print correctly your BigBox needs to know the X & Y difference between the two nozzles.<br />
<br />
Align the left nozzle directly above the pin, Try to get it as close to central as you can. You will likely need to move both X & Y Axes.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 149.8.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Move the printhead so that the right nozzle is exactly centered over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_x_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|X.]]<br />
Take note of the X position, in this case it is 114.6.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_y.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Now we want to move in the Y-Axis.<br />
<br />
A small mirror on a stick is useful to see the Y alignment between the pin and the nozzle, place the mirror on the bed to the left or right of the X-Carriage and at about 45 degrees. Turn the mirror until the two nozzles line up at which point you can see the offset wrt the pin. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the starting position, 5.00.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_move.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Move the Printhead so the nozzle sits exactly over the pin.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_y_position_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Y.]]<br />
Make note of the new Y position, 5.4.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_offset_calc.jpg|thumb|left|Numbers.]]<br />
Using our measurements we can calculate the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
:'''X'''<br />
::''149.8 - 114.6 ='' '''''35.2'''''<br />
<br />
:'''Y'''<br />
::''5.0 - 5.4 ='' '''''-0.4'''''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (8.3) G-Code===<br />
[[File:dual_m218.jpg|thumb|left|M218.]]<br />
The M218 G-Code command is used to set the extruder offset.<br />
<br />
For an in depth explanation visit the RepRap Wiki | [http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M218:_Set_Hotend_Offset reprap.org]<br />
<br />
'''M218 T1 X35.2 Y-0.4'''<br />
<br />
The code needs to be sent to the BigBox each time the printer is turned on, or ideally just before a new print is started. <br />
<br />
The easiest way is to add the command to the start-script of your slicers profile. For additional support please visit the forums | [https://forum.e3d-online.com forum.e3d-online.com]<br />

== (9) Bed levelling==<br />
=== (9.1) Auto-Levelling the Pro, Lite & Hybrid===<br />
[[File:autolevelling.jpg|thumb|left|Autolevelling.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Run an '''Auto home''' sequence, then via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
To watch a video of the homing sequence click here | '''https://youtu.be/2_GjLWiQV_I'''<br />
<br />
If the Level Bed function performs correctly your printer is now correctly calibrated and levelled.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (9.2) Mesh Levelling the Dual===<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper.jpg|thumb|left|Mesh levelling.]]<br />
The Mesh levelling sequence performs a more accurate and consistent function that the standard Auto levelling used by the Pro & Lite versions.<br />
<br />
The process is a little more involved but the results are worth the extra work.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in the mechanics of the process there is a short paper written by the engineer who implemented the system into Marlin | [https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/wiki/Manual-bed-leveling---mesh-bed-leveling Mesh Bed Levelling].<br />
<br />
To begin cut a short strip of paper.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_start.jpg|thumb|left|Level Bed.]]<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Check the printer is clear of potential hazards.</span><br />
<br />
Via the '''Prepare''' menu, select '''Level Bed'''.<br />
<br />
The BigBox will home X, Y & Z and then move to a position approximately X10, Y10.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_paper_next.jpg|thumb|left|Papered.]]<br />
Place the strip of paper under the left nozzle.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_lcd_adj.jpg|thumb|left|LCD.]]<br />
The LCD will display a value of 4.0.<br />
<br />
Rotating the knob will adjust the position of the bed.<br />
<br />
Move the bed up so that the paper is just able to slide around under the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Push the knob to continue.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next.jpg|thumb|left|Next.]]<br />
The Printhead will then move to the next position.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_next_adj.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust.]]<br />
Place the paper under the nozzle again and adjust the bed's height as before.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_last.jpg|thumb|left|Last one.]]<br />
There are a total of 9 points measured over the bed with the last being in the back right.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_home.jpg|thumb|left|Home.]]<br />
When the process has complete the Printhead will return to the home position, this time however '''it will move to X5, Y5, Z4.''' This can be seen on the LCD.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:bedlevelling_store.jpg|thumb|left|Store.]]<br />
From the '''Control''' menu select '''Store memory'''.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The LCD will beep but nothing will change on the screen when the knob is pressed.<br />
<br />
The Mesh information will be permanently stored to the Rumba's EEPROM. You will not need to level the bed again unless you make any mechanical changes to the printer.<br />
<br />
At this stage you may wish to '''adjust the height of the "print cooling" fans''' (those at the left and right of the nozzles) These fans have a duct to prevent the air from them cooling the nozzles (look closely) as if the nozzle temperature drops too low the print will fail. '''Adjust these fans so that they are a few mm higher than the tip of the nozzles.''' i.e. just high enough to avoid the print itself and also high enough not to hit the wiper on the bucket. <br />

=== (20.1) Fitting the Dual Extruders.===<br />
<br />
[[File:dual_extru_fit.jpg|thumb|left|Duals.]]<br />
*4 x M4 16mm Screws (Bag 14).<br />
Position the previously assembled [http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/BigBox_Printer_Sub-assemblies#Dual_Extruder Dual Extruder] onto the X-Carriage.<br />
<br />
Secure using the M4 Screws.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_extru_fan.jpg|thumb|left|Fan.]]<br />
*2 x M3 Square Nuts (Bag 6).<br />
Slide one of the previously assembled [http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/BigBox_Parts_Preparation#Print_Cooling_Fan Print Cooling Fans] onto the X-Carriage.<br />
<br />
Affix with the Nuts.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_extru_fan_thread.jpg|thumb|left|Fan.]]<br />
'''Tip''': The Square nut at the back can be a little tricky to get on. I find removing the lock washer from the M3 Screw and refitting gives a little more thread to grip onto. Use tweezers to hold the nut.<br />
<br />
Once the nut is in remove the Screw again, pop back on the lock washer and carry on...<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_extru_fans.jpg|thumb|left|Fan.]]<br />
*4 x M3 Square Nuts (Bag 6).<br />
Attach the other fan to the opposite side and also affix the [http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/BigBox_Parts_Preparation#IR_Sensor_Bracket IR Sensor] to the X-Carriage.<br />

[[File:heatsink_break.jpg|thumb|left|Thermal paste applied to the Heatbreak.]]<br />
Apply the thermal paste to the Heat-Break and screw it into the Heat-Sink.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_block.jpg|thumb|left|Heater Block.]]<br />
*1 x Grub Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />
*1 x M3 x 10mm Button-Head Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />
Screw the fixings into the heater block.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_break.jpg|thumb|left|Part-Assembled.]]<br />
Thread the Heater-Block onto the Heat-Break.<br />
<br />
The top of the Heater-Block needs to be level with the end of the Heat-Break thread.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:ptfe_cut_66.jpg|thumb|left|Measured to length.]]<br />
*1 x PTFE Tube (Extruder Box, Hotend Bag).<br />
Cut the PTFE Tube to 66mm.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are assembling the HotEnd for a Pro cut the PTFE to 63mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:ptfe_fit.jpg|thumb|left|Metal components.]]<br />
Fit the Nozzle to the Heater-Block, push in the Bowden Clip and insert the PTFE tube.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:clip_up.jpg|thumb|left|Clip.]]<br />
Raise the Bowden Clip out the top of the HotEnd while making sure the PTFE stays pushed down. Doing this will stop the PTFE moving around and help prevent blockages.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:two_v6.jpg|thumb|left|Two.]]<br />
You'll need to assemble two HotEnds.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
=== (20.3) Installing the HotEnds.===<br />
<br />
[[File:fit_v6.jpg|thumb|left|Align.]]<br />
(20.3.1) Align the PTFE with the hole in the X-Carriage.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

Push in the HotEnd.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Do not push in the HotEnd while holding the Heater Block.</span><br />
<br />
'''Note''': If the HotEnd will not push in all the way, check the grub screws are not stopping it.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:both_v6_pushed_in.jpg|thumb|left|Adjust.]]<br />
Insert the other HotEnd.<br />
<br />
Make sure they are fully inserted.<br />
<br />
'''Check the orientation of each HotEnd so they match up with what is shown in the image.'''<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grub_v6_front.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Tighten up the Grub Screws holding in the HotEnds.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grub_v6_back.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Do not forget the rear grub screw.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': When tightening the grub screws try to make the tightening as even as possible between the front and rear grubs, too much on one grub could cause the HotEnds to be positioned at and angle. You will also need to make sure the left nozzle is slightly higher than the right. This is done to make the nozzle alignment process in the commissioning stage a little easier.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grub_v6_match.jpg|thumb|left|Level.]]<br />
Both HoteEnds should be at a similar height with the left extruder slightly higher.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:v6_cables.jpg|thumb|left|PT100 & Heater.]]<br />
*1 x PT100 (Extruder Box).<br />
*1 x Heater Cartridge (Extruder Box).<br />
*1 x Grub Screw (Extruder Box).<br />
*1 x Button Head Screw (Extruder Box).<br />
Insert a PT100 and Heater Cartridge into the Heater Block.<br />
<br />
Secure using the provided grub and button head screw.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Align the Heater Cartridge with the wires in a vertical configuration.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:v6_wires.jpg|thumb|left|Bend.]]<br />

<br />
[[File:hotend_fan.jpg|thumb|left|Fan.]]<br />
Assemble a Hotend fan as shown in the photo.<br />
<br />
NOTE that there is a slight cutout (chamfer) on the (blue) fan shroud. This cutout should be aligned with the wires going into the fan body such that when the shroud is fitted to the heatsink with the wires at the bottom, the cutout is at the bottom facing the heater block. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:hotend_fans.jpg|thumb|left|Fan.]]<br />
Assemble the other Fan with the wires coming out from the other side.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:hotends_fan_on.jpg|thumb|left|Fans.]]<br />
Clip the Fan to the HotEnd.<br />
<br />
Take particular care not to clip the fan on too low, '''IF THE FAN IS ATTACHED TOO LOW IT BLOWS ON THE TOP OF THE HEATER BLOCK'''.<br />
<br />
This is most easily seen if the fan shroud it attached to the heat sink, prior to attaching the fan. With the shroud placed as low as possible (too low that is) there is a gap between the lowest fin of the heatsink allowing the fan to blow on the heater block and directly on the heatbreak. <br />
<br />

<br />
Repeat the last few stages for the other HotEnd.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Check the wires against the photo.'''<br />

=== (19.1) Extruder===<br />
<br />
[[File:Print-Head Assembly 1.JPG|thumb|left|Extruder with screws.]]<br />
Fit the four M4 Screws through the previously assembled [[BigBox_Printer_Sub-assemblies#Single_Direct-Drive_Extruder|Extruder]].<br />

<br />
[[File:dual_extru_fan_thread.jpg|thumb|left|Fan.]]<br />
'''Tip''': The Square nut at the back can be a little tricky to get on. I find removing the lock washer from the M3 Screw and refitting gives a little more thread to grip onto. Use tweezers to hold the nut.<br />
<br />
Once the nut is in remove the Screw again, pop back on the lock washer and carry on...<br />

=== (19.3) Assembly of the E3D HotEnd.===<br />
<br />
[[File:E3D-V6 HOTEND ASSEMBLY BIGBOX.jpg|center|800px]]<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
'''This is only a rough assembly guide. For full instructions please read the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#HotSide|Hotside Documentation]].<br />
<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
There are two options available: <br />
*lite6 (Lite)<br />
*V6 (Pro & Dual). <br />
The only major variation for build purposes is the lite6 has the Heat-Break integrated into the Heat-Sink, so there is no heat break to add and no thermal paste is required.<br />
<br />
[[File:heatsink_break.jpg|thumb|left|Thermal paste applied to the Heatbreak.]]<br />
'''V6 Only'''<br />
<br />
Apply the thermal paste to the Heat-Break and screw it into the Heat-Sink.<br />
<br />
Do not apply thermal paste to the thread that screws into the Heater Block. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_block.jpg|thumb|left|Heater Block.]]<br />
*1 x Grub Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />
*1 x M3 x 10mm Button-Head Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />
Screw the fixings into the heater block.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_break.jpg|thumb|left|Part-Assembled.]]<br />
Thread the Heater-Block onto the Heat-Break.<br />
<br />
The top of the Heater-Block needs to be level with the end of the Heat-Break thread.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">The Heater-Block must not touch against the Heatsink.</span><br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:ptfe_cut.jpg|thumb|left|Measured to length.]]<br />
*1 x PTFE Tube (Extruder Box, Hotend Bag).<br />
Cut the PTFE Tube to 63mm.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are assembling the HotEnd for a Dual cut the PTFE to 66mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:ptfe_fit.jpg|thumb|left|Metal components.]]<br />
Fit the Nozzle to the Heater-Block, push in the Bowden Clip and insert the PTFE tube.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:clip_up.jpg|thumb|left|Clip.]]<br />
Raise the Bowden Clip out the top of the HotEnd while making sure the PTFE stays pushed down. Doing this will stop the PTFE moving around and help prevent blockages.<br />
<br />
Hold the bowden clip up away from the body with the loop on an opened-up paper clip slipped under the lip of the bowden. With the clip locked up, push the ptfe tube down. Remove the paper clip and test that the ptfe tube does not move slightly up and down. If it does hold the bowden up again with the paper clip and push on the ptfe tube firmly down to seat it properly. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grub_v6_back.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Do not forget the rear grub screw.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': When tightening the grub screws try to make the tightening as even as possible between the front and rear grubs, too much on one grub could cause the HotEnds to be positioned at and angle. You will also need to make sure the left nozzle is slightly higher than the right. This is done to make the nozzle alignment process in the commissioning stage a little easier.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grub_v6_match.jpg|thumb|left|Level.]]<br />
Both HoteEnds should be at a similar height with the left extruder slightly higher.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

Assemble a Hotend fan as shown in the photo.<br />
<br />
NOTE that there is a slight cutout (chamfer) on the (blue) fan shroud. This cutout should be aligned with the wires going into the fan body such that when the shroud is fitted to the heatsink with the wires at the bottom, the cutout is at the bottom facing the heater block. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />

Clip the Fan to the HotEnd.<br />
<br />
Take particular care not to clip the fan on too low, '''IF THE FAN IS ATTACHED TOO LOW IT BLOWS ON THE TOP OF THE HEATER BLOCK'''.<br />
<br />
This is most easily seen if the fan shroud it attached to the heat sink, prior to attaching the fan. With the shroud placed as low as possible (too low that is) there is a gap between the lowest fin of the heatsink allowing the fan to blow on the heater block and directly on the heatbreak. <br />

<br />
You may find that of the two "black and yellow pairs" that there isn't a "thinner" pair. <br />
<br />
The two (yellow & black) pairs are the "X" and "Y" endstop micro-switches. The "Y" endstop is on the "X" Axis Motor Carriage (in front of the motor) with the two endstop and four motor wires running through the chain and down the back right of the printer and under the lower support so you will see these two emerging from the sleeving under the inspection hatch. <br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:mintempbed.jpg|thumb|left|Power!]]<br />
Flip the switch to turn on the power.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The machine will display a '''MINTEMP BED''' error because the Heated Bed has not been wired in yet. This is perfectly normal. You will not be able to control the printer at this time.<br />
<br />
'''If your LCD does not come on or light up, turn off the power and swap around the two cables from the LCD. Turn the power back on and the LCD should now work.'''<br />
<br />
If you continue to have problems, turn off the power and check your wiring is correct. Refer to the [[BigBox_Troubleshooting|BigBox Troubleshooting]] documentation.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
== (27) Tuning The Stepper Drivers ==<br />
<br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:meter_red.jpg|thumb|left|Red Probe.]]<br />
Place the Red (positive, +) probe against the potentiometer on the X-Axis Stepper Driver.<br />
<br />
The meter will display a value, in this case it is 0.79v. We want the value to be between '''0.55v''' - '''0.60v'''.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Be exceptionally careful not to touch any other components on the Stepper Driver or the Rumba.</span><br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:meter_read.jpg|thumb|left|Adjusted.]]<br />
Use the ceramic screwdriver to turn the potentiometer in the '''clockwise''' direction, this will lower the metered value.<br />
<br />
If you go too far do not worry, simply turn it back anti-clockwise.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:meter_moved.jpg|thumb|left|7'o Clock.]]<br />
The flat part of the potentiometer should be somewhere in the '''7'o Clock''' position.<br />

Fit the screw into the endstop.<br />
Make sure the screw fits all the way through the hole.<br />
<br />
The screw is a very tight fit. You may find it helps to run a 2.5mm drill through the hole.<br />
It may take a 2.6mm drill or a little filing too so that you don't split the printed part. <br />
<br />
'''Note the direction the screw is fitted to the part.'''<br />
It is the opposite side to the slots for the square nuts<br />
<br clear="all"><br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:dual_extru_fan_thread.jpg|thumb|left|Fan.]]<br />
'''Tip''': The Square nut at the back can be a little tricky to get on. I find removing the lock washer from the M3 Screw and refitting gives a little more thread to grip onto. Use tweezers to hold the nut.<br />
<br />
Once the nut is in remove the Screw again, pop back on the lock washer and carry on...<br />

=== (19.3) Assembly of the E3D HotEnd.===<br />
<br />
[[File:E3D-V6 HOTEND ASSEMBLY BIGBOX.jpg|center|800px]]<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
'''This is only a rough assembly guide. For full instructions please read the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#HotSide|Hotside Documentation]].<br />
<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
There are two options available: <br />
*lite6 (Lite)<br />
*V6 (Pro & Dual). <br />
The only major variation for build purposes is the lite6 has the Heat-Break integrated into the Heat-Sink, so there is no heat break to add and no thermal paste is required.<br />
<br />
[[File:heatsink_break.jpg|thumb|left|Thermal paste applied to the Heatbreak.]]<br />
'''V6 Only'''<br />
<br />
Apply the thermal paste to the Heat-Break and screw it into the Heat-Sink.<br />
<br />
Do not apply thermal paste to the thread that screws into the Heater Block. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_block.jpg|thumb|left|Heater Block.]]<br />
*1 x Grub Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />
*1 x M3 x 10mm Button-Head Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />
Screw the fixings into the heater block.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_break.jpg|thumb|left|Part-Assembled.]]<br />
Thread the Heater-Block onto the Heat-Break.<br />
<br />
The top of the Heater-Block needs to be level with the end of the Heat-Break thread.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">The Heater-Block must not touch against the Heatsink.</span><br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:ptfe_cut.jpg|thumb|left|Measured to length.]]<br />
*1 x PTFE Tube (Extruder Box, Hotend Bag).<br />
Cut the PTFE Tube to 63mm.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are assembling the HotEnd for a Dual cut the PTFE to 66mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:ptfe_fit.jpg|thumb|left|Metal components.]]<br />
Fit the Nozzle to the Heater-Block, push in the Bowden Clip and insert the PTFE tube.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:clip_up.jpg|thumb|left|Clip.]]<br />
Raise the Bowden Clip out the top of the HotEnd while making sure the PTFE stays pushed down. Doing this will stop the PTFE moving around and help prevent blockages.<br />
<br />
Hold the bowden clip up away from the body with the loop on an opened-up paper clip slipped under the lip of the bowden. With the clip locked up, push the ptfe tube down. Remove the paper clip and test that the ptfe tube does not move slightly up and down. If it does hold the bowden up again with the paper clip and push on the ptfe tube firmly down to seat it properly. <br />

== (27) Tuning The Stepper Drivers ==<br />
<br />
[[File:tune_steppers.jpg|thumb|left|Multimeter.]]<br />
*1 x [http://thelittlebox.co/theshop/index.php?route=product/product&path=66_77&product_id=107 Multimeter] (Not supplied).<br />
*1 x [http://e3d-online.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=356 Ceramic Screwdriver] (Not supplied).<br />
<br />
Set your Multimeter to measure DC volts. You'll need to be able to measure to two decimal places.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': The Rumba will need to be powered on while tuning the drivers.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:meter_black.jpg|thumb|left|Black Probe.]]<br />

<br />
[[File:meter_red.jpg|thumb|left|Red Probe.]]<br />
Place the Red (positive, +) probe against the potentiometer on the X-Axis Stepper Driver.<br />
<br />
The meter will display a value, in this case it is 0.79v. We want the value to be between '''0.55v''' - '''0.60v'''.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">Be exceptionally careful not to touch any other components on the Stepper Driver or the Rumba.</span><br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:meter_read.jpg|thumb|left|Adjusted.]]<br />
Use the ceramic screwdriver to turn the potentiometer in the '''clockwise''' direction, this will lower the metered value.<br />
<br />
If you go too far do not worry, simply turn it back anti-clockwise.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:meter_moved.jpg|thumb|left|7'o Clock.]]<br />
The flat part of the potentiometer should be somewhere in the '''7'o Clock''' position.<br />

<br />
'''This is only a rough assembly guide. For full instructions please read the [[E3D-v6_Assembly#HotSide|Hotside Documentation]].<br />
<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
There are two options available: <br />
*lite6 (Lite)<br />
*V6 (Pro & Dual). <br />
The only major variation for build purposes is the lite6 has the Heat-Break integrated into the Heat-Sink, so there is no heat break to add and no thermal paste is required.<br />
<br />
[[File:heatsink_break.jpg|thumb|left|Thermal paste applied to the Heatbreak.]]<br />
'''V6 Only'''<br />
<br />
Apply the thermal paste to the Heat-Break and screw it into the Heat-Sink.<br />
<br />
Do not apply thermal paste to the thread that screws into the Heater Block. <br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_block.jpg|thumb|left|Heater Block.]]<br />
*1 x Grub Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />
*1 x M3 x 10mm Button-Head Screw (Extruder Box, Hotend Fixings).<br />

<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:heater_break.jpg|thumb|left|Part-Assembled.]]<br />
Thread the Heater-Block onto the Heat-Break.<br />
<br />
The top of the Heater-Block needs to be level with the end of the Heat-Break thread.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red">The Heater-Block must not touch against the Heatsink.</span><br />
<br clear="all"><br />

<br />
'''Note''': If you are assembling the HotEnd for a Dual cut the PTFE to 66mm.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:ptfe_fit.jpg|thumb|left|Metal components.]]<br />
Fit the Nozzle to the Heater-Block, push in the Bowden Clip and insert the PTFE tube.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:clip_up.jpg|thumb|left|Clip.]]<br />
Raise the Bowden Clip out the top of the HotEnd while making sure the PTFE stays pushed down. Doing this will stop the PTFE moving around and help prevent blockages.<br />
<br />
Hold the bowden clip up away from the body with the loop on an opened-up paper clip slipped under the lip of the bowden. With the clip locked up, push the ptfe tube down. Remove the paper clip and test that the ptfe tube does not move slightly up and down. If it does hold the bowden up again with the paper clip and push on the ptfe tube firmly down to seat it properly. <br />

'''Tip''': The Square nut at the back can be a little tricky to get on. I find removing the lock washer from the M3 Screw and refitting gives a little more thread to grip onto. Use tweezers to hold the nut.<br />
<br />
Once the nut is in remove the Screw again, pop back on the lock washer and carry on...<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />

[[File:grub_v6_back.jpg|thumb|left|Tighten.]]<br />
Do not forget the rear grub screw.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': When tightening the grub screws try to make the tightening as even as possible between the front and rear grubs, too much on one grub could cause the HotEnds to be positioned at and angle. You will also need to make sure the left nozzle is slightly higher than the right. This is done to make the nozzle alignment process in the commissioning stage a little easier.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
[[File:grub_v6_match.jpg|thumb|left|Level.]]<br />
Both HoteEnds should be at a similar height with the left extruder slightly higher.<br />

Assemble a Hotend fan as shown in the photo.<br />
<br />
NOTE that there is a slight cutout (chamfer) on the (blue) fan shroud. This cutout should be aligned with the wires going into the fan body such that when the shroud is fitted to the heatsink with the wires at the bottom, the cutout is at the bottom facing the heater block. <br />

Clip the Fan to the HotEnd.<br />
<br />
Take particular care not to clip the fan on too low, '''IF THE FAN IS ATTACHED TOO LOW IT BLOWS ON THE TOP OF THE HEATER BLOCK'''.<br />
<br />
This is most easily seen if the fan shroud it attached to the heat sink, prior to attaching the fan. With the shroud placed as low as possible (too low that is) there is a gap between the lowest fin of the heatsink allowing the fan to blow on the heater block and directly on the heatbreak. <br />

== (13) Frame Assembly ==<br />
<br />
=== (13.1) A Note on Nut-Traps ===<br />
<br />
[[File:FRAME-LUG DRAWING.jpg|center|800px]]<br />
<br />
[[File:FRAME-LUG RENDER.jpg|thumb|left]]<br />
:The frame is held together using '''M3 x 18 Screws''' and matching '''M3 Square Nuts'''. These square nuts don't go directly into the frame, instead they live inside little black injection molded Nut-Traps. Their job is to remove stress-concentrations in the frame. They can be a little tricky at first, we have found that a little tape on the back can help to hold the nuts in place.<br />
<br />
There is a bit of a technique for using these lugs. Push a nut into the lug on the bench, then take it and slide it into the hole in the frame. Holding the lug in place with one hand, use the other to screw in the M3 x 18 screw through the hole in the mating frame part. As soon as the screw and nut are mated the rest is easy.<br />
<br />
:<span style="color:red">'''Do not over-tighten the nut-traps. As soon as you feel them tighten up, an extra quarter of a turn is all you need. Over-tightening can lead to failure of the part(s).'''<br />
:<span style="color:green">'''Tip :''' there are approximatly 150 NUT traps used in the frame assembly. It is recommended that the nuts are held in place by either superglue or tape. doing this in advance save a lot of time and expletives later on.<br />

<br />
[[File:FRAME-LUG DRAWING.jpg|center|800px]]<br />
<br />
[[File:FRAME-LUG RENDER.jpg|thumb|left]]<br />
:The frame is held together using '''M3 x 18 Screws''' and matching '''M3 Square Nuts'''. These square nuts don't go directly into the frame, instead they live inside little black injection molded Nut-Traps. Their job is to remove stress-concentrations in the frame. They can be a little tricky at first, we have found that a little tape on the back can help to hold the nuts in place.<br />
<br />
There is a bit of a technique for using these lugs. Push a nut into the lug on the bench, then take it and slide it into the hole in the frame. Holding the lug in place with one hand, use the other to screw in the M3 x 18 screw through the hole in the mating frame part. As soon as the screw and nut are mated the rest is easy.<br />
<br />
:<span style="color:red">'''Do not over-tighten the nut-traps. As soon as you feel them tighten up, an extra quarter of a turn is all you need. Over-tightening can lead to failure of the part(s).'''<br />
:<span style="color:green">'''Tip :''' there are approximatly 150 NUT traps used in the frame assembly. It is recommended that the nuts are held in place by either superglue or tape. doing this in advance save a lot of time and expletives later on.<br />

== (13) Frame Assembly ==<br />
<br />
=== (13.1) A Note on Nut-Traps ===<br />
<br />
[[File:FRAME-LUG DRAWING.jpg|center|800px]]<br />
<br />
[[File:FRAME-LUG RENDER.jpg|thumb|left]]<br />
:The frame is held together using '''M3 x 18 Screws''' and matching '''M3 Square Nuts'''. These square nuts don't go directly into the frame, instead they live inside little black injection molded Nut-Traps. Their job is to remove stress-concentrations in the frame. They can be a little tricky at first, we have found that a little tape on the back can help to hold the nuts in place.<br />
<br />
There is a bit of a technique for using these lugs. Push a nut into the lug on the bench, then take it and slide it into the hole in the frame. Holding the lug in place with one hand, use the other to screw in the M3 x 18 screw through the hole in the mating frame part. As soon as the screw and nut are mated the rest is easy.<br />
<br />
:<span style="color:red">'''Do not over-tighten the nut-traps. As soon as you feel them tighten up, an extra quarter of a turn is all you need. Over-tightening can lead to failure of the part(s).'''<br />
:<span style="color:green">'''Tip :''' there are approximatly 150 NUT traps used in the frame assembly. It is recommended that the nuts are held in place by either superglue or tape. doing this in advance save a lot of time and expletives later on.<br />

It is worth checking now that the IR sensor mount moves smoothly in the slots on the X-Carriage as the sensor has to be moved up and down during calibration. It is very difficult to clean up the sensor mount and the X-Carriage slots once the sensor is mounted. <br />

<br />
Take care when fitting the 688-ZZ (''8mm ID x 16mm OD x 5mm W'') bearings into the Y-Axis rear brackets, check there is no plastic obstructing the recess. Secure with the bearing retainer. They can be a very tight fit and are easily pressed into the part by pushing against a flat surface, a desk for example.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' These bearings are the two with the larger hole.<br />
<br />
The M4 Square Nuts can be easily fitted using an M4 x 30mm screw. Wind the nut on the screw and gently tap into place using a hammer. It is also recommended to use an M4 16mm screw the pull the nuts into position from behind. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />
<br />
Remove the backing from the Cork and affix to the printed part.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not fit the Cork Pad until all other components have been fitted.<br />

<br />
Note that the lower nut does go into the round hole - internally it opens up to be a square hole. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />
<br />
Remove the backing from the Cork and affix to the printed part.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not fit the Cork Pad until all other components have been fitted.<br />

Squash the part between your fingers when doing up the grub screw.<br />
<br />
Use the M4 20mm Bolt to pull the M4 Square nut into the recess at base of idler 'legs'. Do this without the lock-washer fitted and remove after assembly.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You are required to assemble two idlers for your BigBox.<br />

Do not tighten the M3 x 10mm (3) or the M3 x 12mm (4) screws, this will done at a later stage.<br />
<br />
Follow image guidelines when fitting the F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') Idler bearings ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer''.<br />
<br />
When fitting the M3 x 25 screw, lightly screw this in (it will self tap). This is used during the commissioning stage to set the X endstop point, so it's not being used in the typical fashion in which a screw is used. Do not screw it all the way in. It should protrude as per the above diagram.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Using needle-nose pliers can help when installing the M3 Square nuts.<br />

If you have an Astrosyn damper, now is as good a time as any to fit it. Before mounting to the motor to the motor mount, place the damper over the motor shaft. There's only one way to do this properly as the damper is keyed. Look for the holes without threads to be laid against the motor. If your motor didn't come with screws, you'll need to find two M3x6 screws to connect the damper to the motor. There will be only two screws connecting the damper to the mount. Next, connect the motor/damper assembly to the motor mount. Ideally you want two M3 x 8 screws for the job, but two of the original M3x10 indicated above will do the job. The most important thing is that the screws which connect the damper to the motor mount do not continue all the way to the motor. The point of the damper is to create a complete separation between motor vibrations and the case.<br />

<br />
Fix the two parts together back to back to create a single assembly, as seen, with the 8mm screw & square nut.<br />
<br />
Turning the fan mount over, line up the blower fan and attach using an M3 x 22mm screw, inserting square nut on the rear side. Tighten.<br />
<br />
Use the 2x M3 30mm screws to attached the rest of the fan corners, note that there are no nuts. These are fitted at a later stage.<br />
<br />
The wire comes out the side.<br />
<br />
It is worth checking that the mount moves smoothly in the X-Carriage before you assemble it on the printer as the fans have to be moved up and down on the slots for calibrations etc. and it is difficult to clean them up once assembled. <br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You'll need two assemblies for the Dual, the additional fan for the Dual is in the Dual Extruder Box.<br />

<br />
[[File:y-axis_rear.jpg|thumb|left|BigBox Y-Axis Rear Brackets]]<br />
<br />
Take care when fitting the 688-ZZ (''8mm ID x 16mm OD x 5mm W'') bearings into the Y-Axis rear brackets, check there is no plastic obstructing the recess. Secure with the bearing retainer. They can be a very tight fit and are easily pressed into the part by pushing against a flat surface, a desk for example.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' These bearings are the two with the larger hole.<br />
<br />
The M4 Square Nuts can be easily fitted using an M4 x 30mm screw. Wind the nut on the screw and gently tap into place using a hammer. It is also recommended to use an M4 16mm screw the pull the nuts into position from behind. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />
<br />
Remove the backing from the Cork and affix to the printed part.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not fit the Cork Pad until all other components have been fitted.<br />

The M4 Square Nuts can be easily fitted using an M4 x 30mm screw. Wind the nut on the screw and gently tap into place using a hammer. It is also recommended to use an M4 16mm screw the pull the nuts into position from behind.<br />
<br />
Note that the lower nut does go into the round hole - internally it opens up to be a square hole. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />
<br />
Remove the backing from the Cork and affix to the printed part.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not fit the Cork Pad until all other components have been fitted.<br />
<br />
'''Tip :''' To get the nut through the round hole drop it in the hole, then use the end of an allen key to level it and use a fixing from the rear to pull it into place.<br />

Part-thread the 20 mm grub screw through the idler arms. Carefully, fit the washers and F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') bearings over the screw between the arms of the printed part, in this order: ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer.'' Squash the part between your fingers when doing up the grub screw.<br />
<br />
Use the M4 20mm Bolt to pull the M4 Square nut into the recess at base of idler 'legs'. Do this without the lock-washer fitted and remove after assembly.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You are required to assemble two idlers for your BigBox.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not ream-out the holes for the grub-screw.<br />

<br />
Do not tighten the M3 x 10mm (3) or the M3 x 12mm (4) screws, this will done at a later stage.<br />
<br />
Follow image guidelines when fitting the F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') Idler bearings ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer''.<br />
<br />
When fitting the M3 x 25 screw, lightly screw this in (it will self tap). This is used during the commissioning stage to set the X endstop point, so it's not being used in the typical fashion in which a screw is used. Do not screw it all the way in. It should protrude as per the above diagram.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Using needle-nose pliers can help when installing the M3 Square nuts.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are building a Hybrid X-Carriage replace the M3 x 25mm Bolt (Item 10 in the exploded diagram) with an M3 x 10mm Bolt.<br />

<br />
Take care when fitting the 688-ZZ (''8mm ID x 16mm OD x 5mm W'') bearings into the Y-Axis rear brackets, check there is no plastic obstructing the recess. Secure with the bearing retainer. They can be a very tight fit and are easily pressed into the part by pushing against a flat surface, a desk for example.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' These bearings are the two with the larger hole.<br />
<br />
The M4 Square Nuts can be easily fitted using an M4 x 30mm screw. Wind the nut on the screw and gently tap into place using a hammer. It is also recommended to use an M4 16mm screw the pull the nuts into position from behind. <br />
<br />
Once in place check they are seated securely by shaking gently. If they come loose they are not seated correctly. These nuts will be inaccessible later on so it is vital to ensure they do not become dislodged. <br />
<br />
Remove the backing from the Cork and affix to the printed part.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not fit the Cork Pad until all other components have been fitted.<br />

Part-thread the 20 mm grub screw through the idler arms. Carefully, fit the washers and F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') bearings over the screw between the arms of the printed part, in this order: ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer.'' Squash the part between your fingers when doing up the grub screw.<br />
<br />
Use the M4 20mm Bolt to pull the M4 Square nut into the recess at base of idler 'legs'. Do this without the lock-washer fitted and remove after assembly.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You are required to assemble two idlers for your BigBox.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Do not ream-out the holes for the grub-screw.<br />

<br />
Do not tighten the M3 x 10mm (3) or the M3 x 12mm (4) screws, this will done at a later stage.<br />
<br />
Follow image guidelines when fitting the F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') Idler bearings ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer''.<br />
<br />
When fitting the M3 x 25 screw, lightly screw this in (it will self tap). This is used during the commissioning stage to set the X endstop point, so it's not being used in the typical fashion in which a screw is used. Do not screw it all the way in. It should protrude as per the above diagram.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Using needle-nose pliers can help when installing the M3 Square nuts.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are building a Hybrid X-Carriage replace the M3 x 25mm Bolt (Item 10 in the exploded diagram) with an M3 x 10mm Bolt.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:green">If you are building a Hybrid BigBox you can skip this step.</span><br />
<br />
Fix the two parts together back to back to create a single assembly, as seen, with the 8mm screw & square nut.<br />
<br />
Turning the fan mount over, line up the blower fan and attach using an M3 x 22mm screw, inserting square nut on the rear side. Tighten.<br />
<br />
Use the 2x M3 30mm screws to attached the rest of the fan corners, note that there are no nuts. These are fitted at a later stage.<br />
<br />
The wire comes out the side.<br />
<br />
It is worth checking that the mount moves smoothly in the X-Carriage before you assemble it on the printer as the fans have to be moved up and down on the slots for calibrations etc. and it is difficult to clean them up once assembled. <br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You'll need two assemblies for the Dual, the additional fan for the Dual is in the Dual Extruder Box.<br />

Note the location of the Stepper Motor cable connector and the orientation of the pulley.<br />
Take care when removing the backing from the cork.<br />
<br />
'''Note :''' Check you are fitting the 16T GT2 Pulley and '''NOT''' the 20T.<br />
<br />
If you have an Astrosyn damper, now is as good a time as any to fit it. Before mounting to the motor to the motor mount, place the damper over the motor shaft. There's only one way to do this properly as the damper is keyed. Look for the holes without threads to be laid against the motor. If your motor didn't come with screws, you'll need to find two M3x6 screws to connect the damper to the motor. There will be only two screws connecting the damper to the mount. Next, connect the motor/damper assembly to the motor mount. Ideally you want two M3 x 8 screws for the job, but two of the original M3x10 indicated above will do the job. The most important thing is that the screws which connect the damper to the motor mount do not continue all the way to the motor. The point of the damper is to create a complete separation between motor vibrations and the case.<br />

Insert IR sensor with prongs facing up and on the ‘higher’ side of the bracket. Screw together.<br />
<br />
It is worth checking now that the IR sensor mount moves smoothly in the slots on the X-Carriage as the sensor has to be moved up and down during calibration. It is very difficult to clean up the sensor mount and the X-Carriage slots once the sensor is mounted. <br />
<br />
'''Note :''' There was an error in the fixings kit and in some instances M2.5 Hex Nuts have been supplied and not Square nuts.<br />

Centre the LM8LUU (''8mm ID x 15mm OD x 45mm W'') bearing in the Idler.<br />
<br />
Do not tighten the M3 x 10mm (3) or the M3 x 12mm (4) screws, this will done at a later stage.<br />
<br />
Follow image guidelines when fitting the F-604-ZZ (''4mm ID x 12mm OD x 4mm W x 1mm F'') Idler bearings ''Washer-Bearing-Washer-Bearing-Washer''.<br />
<br />
When fitting the M3 x 25 screw, lightly screw this in (it will self tap). This is used during the commissioning stage to set the X endstop point, so it's not being used in the typical fashion in which a screw is used. Do not screw it all the way in. It should protrude as per the above diagram.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': Using needle-nose pliers can help when installing the M3 Square nuts.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': If you are building a Hybrid X-Carriage replace the M3 x 25mm Bolt (Item 10 in the exploded diagram) with an M3 x 10mm Bolt.<br />

<br />
Fix the two parts together back to back to create a single assembly, as seen, with the 8mm screw & square nut.<br />
<br />
Turning the fan mount over, line up the blower fan and attach using an M3 x 22mm screw, inserting square nut on the rear side. Tighten.<br />
<br />
Use the 2x M3 30mm screws to attached the rest of the fan corners, note that there are no nuts. These are fitted at a later stage.<br />
<br />
The wire comes out the side.<br />
<br />
It is worth checking that the mount moves smoothly in the X-Carriage before you assemble it on the printer as the fans have to be moved up and down on the slots for calibrations etc. and it is difficult to clean them up once assembled. <br />
<br />
'''Note :''' You'll need two assemblies for the Dual, the additional fan for the Dual is in the Dual Extruder Box.<br />

Take care when removing the backing from the cork.<br />

'''Note :''' Check you are fitting the 16T GT2 Pulley and '''NOT''' the 20T.<br />
<br />
If you have an Astrosyn damper, now is as good a time as any to fit it. Before mounting to the motor to the motor mount, place the damper over the motor shaft. There's only one way to do this properly as the damper is keyed. Look for the holes without threads to be laid against the motor. If your motor didn't come with screws, you'll need to find two M3x6 screws to connect the damper to the motor. There will be only two screws connecting the damper to the mount. Next, connect the motor/damper assembly to the motor mount. Ideally you want two M3 x 8 screws for the job, but two of the original M3x10 indicated above will do the job. The most important thing is that the screws which connect the damper to the motor mount do not continue all the way to the motor. The point of the damper is to create a complete separation between motor vibrations and the case.<br />

Insert IR sensor with prongs facing up and on the ‘higher’ side of the bracket. Screw together.<br />
<br />
It is worth checking now that the IR sensor mount moves smoothly in the slots on the X-Carriage as the sensor has to be moved up and down during calibration. It is very difficult to clean up the sensor mount and the X-Carriage slots once the sensor is mounted. <br />
<br />
'''Note :''' There was an error in the fixings kit and in some instances M2.5 Hex Nuts have been supplied and not Square nuts.<br />
