-
Take out both set screws (i.e., two) out of the pulley.
-
(You can find the pulley in the hardware box - left bottom corner)
-
-
-
Put a single, small drop of thread lock onto the set screw thread.
-
Most people use want to use way too much threadlock. Really, little is enough.
-
Let the threadlock spread the thread lock into the thread. Soak excess with a paper towel if necessary.
-
Tip: Keep the set screw on the hex key for easy manipulation.
-
-
-
Slide the X pulley onto the X motor shaft.
-
The set screws in the pulley should be on the side away from the motor.
-
(This is the opposite of the Y motor pulley!)
-
-
-
Slide the pulley as far away from the motor as you can.
-
The X pulley will be extending about 3mm (0.12'') beyond the top of the X motor shaft.
-
The set screws should still fully grip the motor shaft.
-
Tighten the longer set screw against the FLAT side of the motor shaft
-
The X motor pulley alignment is very different from Y motor pulley. Follow the instructions closely.
-
-
-
Secure the X motor with the M3x16 screws and serrated washers.
-
Use the revered "cross-tightening" technique for proper alignment and force distribution.
-
-
-
Two idler bearing halves
-
M3x25 socket head screw
-
4mm hex spacer (That's the shorter one of the two spacers in JellyBOX!)
-
Tighten well.
-
Tip: The IMADE3D wrench has a special slot just for the spacers as they are slightly smaller than regular M3 nuts.
-
-
-
Thread the X Belt through the X carriage, around the X motor pulley, and around the X idler.
-
(Is this description useless? Maybe.)
-
-
-
Make a loose 4'' zip tie loop around the belt on the right side. This is the tensioning mechanism.
-
Overachiever's Tip: If it pleases your aesthetic sense, you can put the zip tie head on the inside of the X carriage instead. Potential future re-tightening will be a bit less comfortable, but it works as well. Make sure to have the zip tie tail exit towards the front then.
-
-
-
Make the belt tighter by tightening this zip tie.
-
There's a slot for 2nd zip tie if one is not enough to get the belt tight. (Optional; as needed.)
-
When you're done, you can clip the zip tie, but not fully. Make sure to leave enough so you can still grab it with vise grip for potential re-tightening.
-
-
-
Is everything is moving smoothly?
-
Is the X carriage facing the right way?
-

-
You'll Need:
-
Green left filament fan shroud
-
Pink left filament fan mount
-
Plastite screw (5)
-
30mm fan
-
-
-
There are two stand-offs attached to the x wire harness.
-
Short stand-off.
-
Long stand-off.
-
"Wire" or "cable harness" is simply an industry term for an assembly of wires.
-
-
-
This is a good time to train HOWTO insert and remove the extruder.
-
For more detailed instructions, follow the " Insert the Extruder " guide.
-
Do not pinch the hotend wires. Make sure they go underneath the x carriage.
