Fig. 3 shows the assembly details of one of the three corners of the top triangle. Fig. 3 Step 4. The assembly of bottom triangle is the same as the top, except 10 pairs of C16 and C11 and 2 pairs of short Al-extrusion are used for A02, which is show in Fig.

  • Page 9: Effector

    Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Step 6. Fig.6 shows the assembly of 3 stepper motors. After assembly, using C06 to fix those motors to each corners of the bottom triangle as demonstrated in Fig. 7. Make sure the sockets of the motors face up.
  • Page 10 Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Fig. 8 Step 2. As shown in Fig. 8 (3) and (4), find the suitable angle to fix the Hot End into A03. Then fix the heat rod and thermistor back. After, use 4 pieces of C08 to fix the air nozzle (A06).

  • Page 11: Slide Guide (Linear And Pulley)

    The operation of effector depends on the linear motion of each belt which is connected to stepper motor. The type of motion guide is divided into Linear and Pulley. The assembly of those two types will be introduced in the following section.
  • Page 12 Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Fig. 12 Step 2. Prepare 2 pieces of stop blocks (A08) with C16 and C11. Then push down one of the stop blocks, the linear rail, and the other stop block sequentially along with the long Al-extrusion as shown in Fig.
  • Page 13 (2) Pulley Version Step 1. As shown in Fig. 15, fix 3 pulley wheels (D07) to the carriage (A09) using 3 pairs of C01 and C12. Insert C14 into the dash-circle area and fix a C04 screw from the side. Do not over tighten or twisting the carriage.

  • Page 14: Main Frame

    Fig 17 4. Main frame The assembly of main frame and limit switches is the same for both Linear and Pulley version. Here we take Linear version for example. Step 1. Fix the limit switches (B05) to each of the stop blocks as shown in Fig. 18.

  • Page 15: Belts

    Fig. 20 5. Belts The assembly of belt is the same for both Linear and Pulley version. We take the Linear version for example. Divide the belt into 3 equal parts. Fix one end of a belt onto the belt tensioner as shown in Fig.

  • Page 16: Extrusion System

    Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. 6. Extrusion system Fig. 22 Step 1. As shown in Fig. 22, firstly fix the extrusion wheel (D10) onto the shaft of the extrusion motor (B08). Make sure the fastening screw is facing the plane of the shaft. Notice the distance between the extrusion wheel and the motor is about 3mm.

    Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Step 4. Insert the other end of the feeding pipe to the other quick connector on the effector. If you wish to pull out the feeding pipe, please press down the black plastic ring then release the pipe.
  • Page 18 Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Fig. 27 Step 3. As shown in Fig. 28, mount 4 pieces of square nuts (C11) into the corresponding position on bottom Al extrusion, and fix ANYCUBIC mainboard using 4 pieces of C15. Note: in Fig. 28, 3 motors are named as X, Y, Z respectively in order to make the wiring/interpretation clearer in the following paragraph.
  • Page 19 Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Fig. 29 Step 5. The wiring of the mainboard is explained as follows (Figure 30). Before wiring on ANYCUBIC mainboard, please make sure the wires on effector passing through the carbon fiber tubes, as shown in Figure 31. Fig.

    PC desktop, which means it has been successfully installed. Fig. 34 Step 2. Uploading the firmware to ANYCUBIC mainboard. After the installation of „Arduino‟, unzip the „Firmware for ANYCUBIC Kossel 3D printer‟ in SD card, and find „Marlin.ino‟ or „Marlin.pde‟ then double click Next, as Fig.
  • Page 23 Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Fig. 35 Lastly, click the upload icon to upload the firmware, as Fig. 36 shows. The uploading status will show at the bottom as „Compiling sketch‟, „Done Compiling‟, „Uploading‟, and „Done uploading‟. After that, the LCD starts to display the information as shown in Fig. 37. Fig.

  • Page 24: Parameter Settings

    Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. Fig. 37 3. Parameter settings The provided firmware has been generally debugged and modified. But inevitably there are some small deviations still. So some critical parameters that affect the printing quality need to be adjusted on a case-by-case basis. Before start, connect the printer with the power (B14), the 4010 radiator cooling fan should be on, otherwise, check the wiring and fix it.

Next, on the one hand observe the actual heights of Z axis, on the other hand, carefully reduce the heights value step by step, such as G1Z50, G1Z30, G1Z10, G1Z3, G1Z2.5, G1Z2.3… to slowly move the nozzle close to the platform. (Note: if the value is set too large, the nozzle may knock at the platform.

    Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd. should be changed by 1~3 step by step (default value =151) and then re-upload the firmware. It is suggested to increase this value if the resulting model has a convex surface, while decreasing this value if the resulting model has a concave surface. Step 5.

To experience the very first print, please load the test model „20× 20× 10‟ and then click the „Print with USB‟ icon on top, as shown in Fig. 43. In order to minimize the instability from the PC and USB port, it is suggested to save the model in Cura as Gcode file into a SD card and insert the SD card to 3D printer to print offline.
