Makerbot 3D打印机装配教程 3.X-Stage Assembly(X轴平台装配)
For the Makerbot Curriculum we recommend purchasing the Aluminum Build Surface for Thing-O-Matic®for your Heated Build Platform.Some builders may also be interested in the Automated Build Platform configuration.The Automated Build Platform will allow you to build multiple copies of individual prints, but uses a belt which will give the bottoms of your prints a rippled texture.Estimated Time:30 minutes.Parts ListThese are the parts you’ll need to assemble the X-Stage. All laser-cut parts should have their names etched into them. Find and put aside these parts:[*]Laser-cut Stage Parts
[*]X Front
[*]X Back
[*]X Top
[*]X Drive Rib
[*]X Idler Rib
[*]X Clamps
[*]Sixteen M3x16 socket cap bolts
[*]Sixteen M3 nuts
[*]Four 3/8″ self-aligning bearings
[*]228-tooth continuous timing belt (the short one) or cut down a larger belt (read number silkscreened onto belt before trimming – we offer 272-, 267-, and 265-tooth timing belts)
[*]Thingomatic Heater Board v1.1
[*]Thingomatic Heater Board Wiring Harness
The M3 hardware is found in the Hardware Burrito:The bearings and belt are found in the Belt & Pulley kit.Attach X Belt to Ribparts needed:
[*]Smaller belt
[*]2 X Ribs
[*]2 low profile M3x16 bolts
[*]2 M3x16 bolts
[*]4 M3x16 nuts
Due to the variance in wood thickness, we started shipping on Jan 1st, 2 extra low profile M3x16 bolts to avoid interference with the rods. Use the low profile bolts on the lower holes.
Secure it tight with two M3x16 bolts in each clamp.Attach Front to Ribparts needed:
[*]Front
[*]X Rib
[*]1 M3x16 bolts
[*]1 M3x16 nuts
Make sure the text of each is facing outward as you secure them to both ribs.
Attach Front to Second Ribparts needed:
[*]Front
[*]X Rib
[*]1 M3x16 bolts
[*]1 M3x16 nuts
Attach Backparts needed:
[*]X Back
[*]X Front
[*]2 M3x16 bolts
[*]2 M3x16 nuts
Attach Top to Assemblyparts needed:
[*]Assembled Front-Back-Ribs
[*]Top
[*]8 M3x16 bolts
[*]8 M3x16 nuts
The Top piece will only fit one way. Be sure the text is to the right facing up as you bolt it down.
Heated Build PlatformThe heated build platform was the first major innovation in build surface technology in the previous machine. It reduces warping when building large parts by heating the object and preventing a build-up of shrinkage between layers. When the object is done building, it will cool down and can be removed manually from the heated build platform.Trim plasticparts needed:
[*]Thing-O-Matic Heater Board 1.1
[*]Knife
Take your knife and trim the plastic so that your Aluminum Build Surface will flush with the edges of the Heater Board
Remove QA StickerBefore you add the heat spreader to your heater board, check both sides of the heater board. There may be a small sticker on one side of the board that was added during the inspection process. If you see a sticker, remove it.Add Heat Spreader to Heater Boardparts needed:
[*]Aluminum Build Surface for Thing-O-Matic®
[*]Heat Sink Paste
With your finger spread the heat sink paste thinly and evenly over the the side of the Aluminum Build Surface that will be against the Heater Board.When you are done, wash your hands with soap and water.Align the platesNotice that there are 3 holes on two sides of the plate. The three holes are on the front and the back.Make sure you align the platform as shown below:
Attaching Aluminum Build Surface to the Heater BoardPlace the Aluminum Build Surface against the Heater Board and tighten with 16mm screws (these screws come in a plastic bag that ships with the Aluminum Build Surface).
Attaching Aluminum Build Surface to the Heater BoardUse two nuts, tightening the nut next to the board with pliers. This board will endure a lot of vibration.
Attach and Level Heater Board AssemblyThe Heater Board bolts on to the wooden top piece on the four corners. Put the bolts holding the platform on upside-down and add another nut on the other side of the wood.Tighten It All DownNow that it’s all together, tighten all the bolts with 1/4- to 1/3-turns past hand tight.Congratulations! Your Heated Build Surface is now complete!
