Makerbot 3D打印机装配教程 2.Z-Stage Assembly(Z轴平台装配)

弘毅

Building the Z Stage should take approximately 15 minutes.

Parts ListThese are the parts you’ll need to assemble the Z Stage. All laser-cut parts should have their names etched into them. Find and put aside these parts:

• Laser-cut Stage Parts
  
  • Z Back
  • Z Top
  • Z Bottom
  • Z Left Side
  • Z Right Side
  • Z Ribs
    
• One Z Motor Flange*
• Four (4) M3x10 socket cap bolts or Four (4) M2x10 socket cap bolts with nuts*
• Eighteen (18) M3x16 socket cap bolts
• Eighteen (18) M3 nuts
• Four (4) 3/8″ self-aligning bearings*
  

*These parts should have been put in place during the preparation stage.

Attach Ribs to Back

Parts needed:

• 2 Z Ribs
• Z Back
• 2 M3x16 socket cap bolts
• 2 M3 nuts
  

Secure the two Rib pieces to the Back. These ribs are symmetrical, so they just need to look like the picture.

Attach Left, Right and Bottom to Back

Parts needed:

• Assembled back
• Z Left
• Z Back
• 11 M3x16 socket cap bolts
• 11 M3 nuts
  

Secure the Left and Right sides to the Back. In the newest versions the printed text goes right-side-up on the inside. In older versions (pictured below) the printed text goes on the outside and ends up upside-down. After securing Left and Right sides, attach to theBottom (pay attention to the orientation of the self-aligning bearings).

Attach Top to Assembly

Parts needed:

• Assembled back
• Z Top (from preparation stage)
• 6 M3x16 socket cap bolts
• 6 M3 nuts
  

This will lock things in place nicely. This piece is also symmetrical.

Tighten It All Down

Now that it’s all together, tighten all the bolts with 1/4- to 1/3-turns past hand tight.

Congratulations! Your Z Stage is now complete!
