      First, you need to do a few cleanups

      on the printed extruder drive.

      This is the main body with two

      608ZZ ball bearings already installed.

      We recomment to ream out all

      the small holes with a 4mm drill.

     

      Slide the two M4x60 bolts in with

      the head into the hexagonal

      pockets on the main body.

      Make sure they are diagonally.

      If these are too tight to fit,

      use a wing nut to tighten it

      from the other side.

      Don't use excessive force.

      This is the idler.

      Put a 608ZZ ball bearing onto a M8x20

      grub screw and push it into the slot.

      We recommend to ream out

      the small holes with a 4mm drill.

      Insert two long distance bolts

      through two bottom holes.

      Tighten them with M4 hexagonal nuts.

      If you have, we recommend to put a bit

      of bolt lock onto the nuts.

     

      This picture also shows the idler installed.

      Slide the idler over the two M4x60 bolts,

      put a spring and a wing nut on it.

      Loosely mount the Nema

      17 motor onto the body

      by screwing in 4 M4x8 bolts

      through the long holes.

      We need to find out the

      optimal position for the gears,

      yet, so make sure the bolts

      are into the threads on the body

     

    {{IMG_9765|size:large}}

     

      Insert the hobbed bolt into the big gear.

      Insert that into the two bearings

      on the main extruder block.

      Then find the small gear.

      If you haven't already,

      carefully ream it out with

      a 5,0mm drill bit.

      Then, mount it onto the motor shaft.

      Slide the motor with the small

      gear attached towards the big gear

      and try to move it by hand.

      If you push it too much,

      it will provide a resitance.

      When happy, secure the

      bolts on the motor.

      First, secure the two that are

      accessable with the gears attached...

      ... then take both gears off and

      tighten the other two bolts.

      Push the small white PTFE tube

      with the funnel-like

      opening into the extruder block.
