Step 1 Introduction

⬢This guide will take you through the installation of the Fire Suppression System into the Original Prusa Enclosure.

Step 2 Tools necessary for this guide

⬢For this guide, please prepare:

⬢2.5mm Allen key

⬢Piece of cloth or fabric (at least 20x20 cm) for covering the heatbed

Step 3 Preparing the printer

Make sure the printer is turned OFF and cool down!

Before you proceed, it is recommended to protect the heatbed.

⬢フレキシブルスチールシートを外します。

⬢十分な厚みのある布を使い、ヒートベッドを覆ってください。こうすることで、分解時に表面を傷つけることがなくなります。

Step 4 Parts preparation:

⬢For the following steps, please prepare:

⬢P-clamp (2x)

⬢M3 nut assembly (2x) the nut with the M3x12 screw

⬢Fire suppression system tube (1x) type: T033E BlazeCut T Series Fire Suppression 1 System with a pressure gauge

Handle the tube carefully to avoid damage.

Step 5 Mounting the P-clamp

⬢Unscrew both M3x12 screws from the nuts.

⬢Locate two holes (the two farther apart) on the rear side of the top panel and insert the M3x12 screws into both holes.

Step 6 Mounting the P-clamp

⬢From the inside, locate the inserted M3x12 screws on the right side of the top panel.

⬢Insert the nut into the P-clamp. See the correct orientation of both parts.

⬢Attach the nut in the P-clamp to the M3x12 screw in the top panel. Tighten the screw using the Allen key from the top with your other hand. Do not tighten the screw now! A few turns are enough. We will tighten it later.

Step 7 Installing the automatic suppression system

⬢Insert the metal end of the tube into the P-clamp.

If it is difficult to insert the tube into the P-clamp, loosen the nut a little. But be careful not to drop the P-clamp!

⬢Make sure the nut is accessible from the front.

⬢From the other side of the tube, slide the second P-clamp on the metal part of the tube. Mind the correct position of the P-clamp.

⬢Insert the nut into the P-clamp and attach it to the M3x12 screw on the left. Slightly tighten the screw using the Allen key from the top with your other hand - a few turns are enough for now. We will completely tighten it later.
