⬢We have designed enhancements that are not shipped by default in the kit, but you can print them out and add them to the enclosure during assembly. Fasteners are already included in the kit.
Print out the parts before you start assembly.
⬢To see the full list of the parts, please visit our collection at Printables.com.
⬢Carefully pull the printer out of the MINI Enclosure with the base facing backwards. Be EXTRA CAREFUL when doing this:
Ensure the X-end and aluminum Z-axis profile pass through the right and left cutouts of the front opening. Use EXTRA CAUTION to avoid damaging the printer or enclosure.
⬢Hold the heatbed with your left hand to prevent it from sliding down and getting damaged on the bottom plate.
⬢During pulling out the printer, look carefully at all sides of the printer to ensure that nothing is in the way (e.g., cables, motors, etc.).
Ensure that no parts of the printer touch the side panels to avoid scratches.
⬢Push the PSU cable through the circle hole in the rear of the Enclosure.
Exercise caution when handling anything inside the enclosure. There are sharp metal plates, so avoid injury.
⬢Guide the cable along the rear side of the Enclosure and secure it using three zip ties through the perforations. Do not overtighten the zip ties, you can damage the cable.
⬢Guide the PSU cable along the left side of the Enclosure and secure it with the three zip ties.
⬢LED Stick Board (1x) WARNING: Make sure to protect the electronics against electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always unpack the electronics right before you need them!
The nut must be completely embedded in the printed part and flush with the surface of the part. Insufficient embedment of the nut can cause problems when mounting in the enclosure.
⬢Slide the lower slot of the LED Stick Bracket on the LED Stick Board and align the bracket against the first hole in the LED Stick Board closest to the (white) LED stick connector.
Avoid sliding the bracket over chips and diodes! It can be fatally damaged.
⬢Push the LED Stick Bracket all the way on the LED Stick Board.
⬢Use this procedure for all three LED Stick Brackets.
From now on, we will demonstrate LED mounting on the printer without the door panel for better visibility. Please note, do not remove the door panel from your printer. The printer in the pictures will be shown without door panel for improved visualization for the customers.
⬢From the inside of the enclosure, attach the LED strip assembly so that the LED stick brackets are aligned precisely with the screws. Attach the back side (the side without the diffuser).
Make sure, the LED connector is facing down.
⬢Secure the LED panel from the outside of the frame with three M3x18 screws. Tighten them firmly but gently.
These steps are only for LED strip and Advanced filtration system owners only. The smaller PSU space is for those with additional Delta PSU. Otherwise, skip to Installing the printer
⬢For the next steps, please prepare:
⬢PSU-holder (1x) this part is not included in the package, you will need to print it out fromPrintables.com
⬢Add-on PSU-holder-A (1x) this part is not included in the package, you will need to print it out fromPrintables.com
⬢Add-on PSU-holder-B (1x) this part is not included in the package, you will need to print it out fromPrintables.com
⬢Carefully insert the printer inside the enclosure with its base facing forward. When doing so, be EXTRA CAREFUL to:
Ensure the X-end and aluminum Z-axis profile pass through the right and left cutouts of the front opening. Use EXTRA CAUTION to avoid damaging the printer or enclosure.
⬢Hold the heatbed with your left hand to prevent it from sliding down and getting damaged on the bottom plate.
⬢During insertion, carefully watch all sides of the printer to ensure nothing is in the way (e.g., cables, motors, etc.).
⬢Carefully place the printer on its feet. We will adjust the exact position later on.
Ensure that no parts of the printer touch the side panels to avoid scratches.
⬢That's it! Well done. You have successfully installed the LED panel in your Original Prusa MINI Enclosure. Now let's put it to the test.
⬢On the Basic board cover, press the LIGHT button.
