Step 1 — Plus v2 (Model 1306)

Quite literally, the Plus v2 and the LC v2 have identical nuts and bolts packs and they
assemble the exact same way. I will update the pictures just to be really accurate, but you
can assemble an Plus v2 based on LC v2 guide.

Now on to the guide...
Step 2

NOTE - If you have the older Y-axis wooden bearing assembly skip this step and go to
step 3.

We will begin with the base and the Y-axis bearing blocks

We want to make sure the top of our base is in the correct orientation. The top of this
piece will have the two small triangles pointing toward you (green circles) and the cutout
for the Z-axis end stop will be on the left (red box).

4 - M4 10mm per Y-axis

Step 3

NOTE - If you have the Y-axis bearing block please skip to step 5

We will start with the BASE

Y Bearing Sleeves:

8x 1.25" 6-32 screws (4 each side)

4 LM8UU bearings (2 per side)
Step 4

8x 6-32 nuts (4 each side)

Attach Assembled Y Bearing Holders to back panel of base unit.

Tighten everything down.

Step 5

NOTE - If you have the older Y-axis bearing assembly, you can see photos of your build
for this step on step 7

The top holes need to line up - if they don't you have it backwards.

4 - M4 10mm (2 per side) to mount the aluminum blocks. Use 3mm Allen Wrench to
tighten.
Step 6

Time to insert Z-axis smooth rod
into aluminum blocks from previous
step.

Plus kits will use 12mm smooth
rod.

LC kits will use 8mm smooth rod.

4 - M6 4 or 6mm set screw (2 per
side) will firmly secure the Z-axis
rods in the block

If it is difficult to insert these rods
by hand you my need to use a
rubber mallet or hammer to guide
the rods into the blocks.

Step 7

NOTE - if you have the Y-axis bearing block please skip to step 9

The 2 aluminum Z blocks greatly increase the rigidity of the printer in this second revision.
Step 8

The top holes need to line up - if they don't you have it in backwards.

4x M4 10mm screws (2 per side) to mount the aluminum blocks. Use 3mm allen wrench.

4x M6 6mm set screws (2 per side) will firmly secure the Z rods when we are ready to add
them.

Step 9

NOTE - Moving forward in this guide you will continue to see photos with old Y-axis
bearing wooden assembly.

The Y motor has a spacer to make it ride a bit lower than the Z motors.

Mount your belt pulley on the Y motor. Be careful NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN the set screw.
Use a 1/16 or 1.5mm allen wrench.

4x M3 16mm screws will secure the motor.
Step 10

For two Y belt idler assemblies, you will need:

2x .75" 6-32 screw

2x #6 washer

2x 8mm Nylon spacer

2x 608 bearing with Delrin Idler

4x 1/4" washer

2x 6-32 nuts

Step 11

Y End Stop

2 - M2 10mm or 12mm screws

Photos show the larger M3 screws but now we supply smaller M2 screws that work much
better.
Step 12

A screw will be coming up through this hole soon (red box), so either insulate the endstop
with tape or just gently bend it up out of the way a bit.

Add the two 12mm smooth rods for the Z axis

Tighten the set screws. Make sure you have those mounted on the outsides near the Z
motors - not the inside.

Step 13

Mounting the Printrboard

4x 1" 6-32 screws

4x 16mm Nylon Spacers

Squishing the nylon spacers a little with pliers will allow the spacers to grip the screws and
not fall off so you can easily mount the Printrboard to the base plate.
Step 14

Pay attention to the Y axis end stop wire so you don't have to fight with it later.

Remember the side of the electronics board with the SD slot and USB connector will be
facing the back side of the printer.

Step 15

Mount the two Z Motors

8x M3 8mm screws (4 per side)

2 small vinyl tubes (1 per side)
Step 16

Get all your wiring dialed in for the motors and endstop.

Step 17

The Y motor will plug into the port labeled "Y-MOT"

Plug in the Y end stop

E-MOT and Z-MOT trimpots should already be turned to about 2 o'clock but if not you can
adjust it with a small electricians flat head screwdriver.

Y-MOT and X-MOT should be stationed at 12 o'clock.
Step 18

Take part # 423 and mount on power connector.

Step 24

X Carriage

8x 1" 6-32 screws

4x LM8UU bearings

Note - It is wise to place two of your 8mm smooth rods through the LM8UU bearings while
screwing the 1" screws through the X carriage. This way you'll be sure that they line up
properly.

Extruder Mount

4x .5" 6-32 screws

4x 6-32 nuts

Part #435 is sandwiched between #431 and #429.

Note - the spacing between the holes and the edge of part #435 is thinner at the bottom
than it is at the top. This is intentional for lining up this assembly (yellow box).

2x 6-32 nut

One of the 6-32 nuts goes on the long 3" screw to hold the motor on securely. See the red
circle on the third picture.

[Editorial's note - need pictures with LM12UU bearings]

Step 41

The 2 10" smooth bars for the X carriage will push into place as long as you have some
slack on the 6 screws that thread through the front plate.

[Editorial's note - need pictures with LM12UU bearings]
Step 42

The bar ends should just peek out
past the last holes that screw down
to hold them in place.

Once the bars are in, tighten the 6
screws. It will need to be very tight,
but don't go so tight that it deforms
the top plate.

Step 46

6x 1.5" 6-32 screws

Mount the X carriage on the bars before you put the bars through the right bridge shown
here.

Leave these loose enough to get the bars through.

Make sure you are extremely careful to get the distance correct between the bearing holes
on each side. The distance MUST MATCH EXACTLY with the distance between the Z bars
already mounted to the base.

Be careful not to force the bearings onto the Z bars - if you force them, you could pop out
some of the tiny ball bearings inside the LM8UU 8mm linear bearings.

The Right block should be loose enough on the X bars to push the whole assembly down to
the bottom and let it self adjust it's width apart. You can work the top of the Z bars back
and forth to help it adjust. Once it slides smoothly up and down, tighten all the screws
down and lock in the X bars.

Take a close look, while you are at it, to be sure the X bars are parallel to the top of the
base. Sometimes, in the build process, the X assembly (the bridge) gets slightly cocked forcing one side of the bridge to ride lower or higher. Just loosen the front bolts on both
side enough to force it straight and re-tighten.

Print Bed

8x .5" 6-32 screws

4x 6-32 nuts

1x 1" 6-32 screw [not shown]

1x 6-32 locking nut [not shown]

There is a set screw hole for the Y axis end stop on the top left of the front panel. It
accepts the 1" 6-32 screw and a 6-32 locking nut on the end (these are mentioned above).

help.printrbot.com
Page 26 of 51
Printrbot Plus 1306 Assembly
Step 49

You will need to mount the print bed on the Y bars to mount the front panel. BE CAREFUL
pushing them through the bearings - be gentle and wiggle them through lightly. You don't
want to lose any tiny ball bearings!

For the Belt Tensioner at the back, you will need:

2x 1.5" 6-32 screws

2 star washers (or locking washers)

2x 6-32 nuts

1x .5" 6-32 screw

1x 6-32 nut

The last two items are for the little piece pictured in the 3rd picture.

Printrbot Plus 1306 Assembly
Step 50

Use the shorter of your two belts and thread your belt like so...

The belt will loop through the front plate and be zip tied together. The belt teeth should face
each other and interlock for added hold - before you zip tie them together.

The belt will lock into the tensioner on the back plateas illustrated. You might have to
adjust the length of the belt a couple times to find the sweet spot for the belt to lock into
the "T". You need enough room to tension the belt later, but if you don't leave enough
length, it will be hard to reach the 2 screws that accept the thumbscrews.

PS: Looks like a cartoon dog face. :)
Step 51

Be patient and find that sweet spot for the belt to interlock with the "T".

The wood thumbscrews glue together with superglue. Then you can press the 6-32 nuts
into their places.

Printrbot Plus 1306 Assembly
Step 52

Wait to trim the belt until you are absolutely sure you have the right length. I try and leave
a little extra belt just in case. Be sure any extra belt does not interfere with the movement
of the bed.

Step 53

4x M3 10mm screws

4x M3 nuts

Try to place the thermistor exactly where it is shown in the picture. This should afford the
best accuracy on the heat bed reading.

NOTE: Your temperature readings in software could be inaccurate. Try printing at 65-70 C
first. THen step up the temperature 5 degrees at a time until you get good results and
everything sticks nicely.

IF the software is not reporting the correct temperature - or you set the temperature too
high, it may not be able to reach the temp you have requested it to reach.

Now is a great time to insulate the bottom of the red heat bed. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT
TO SHORT OUT THE WIRES SOLDERED TO THE BOARD!

We have heard of people using all sorts of insulators. If you decide to use one, choose a
radiant barrier with the brown paper backing facing up so the aluminum will not short out
the heat bed power wires.

help.printrbot.com
Page 30 of 51
Printrbot Plus 1306 Assembly
Step 54

The 4x 10mm screws and M3 nuts should only be used if you do not use glass on top of
the heat bed. If you do use glass, use binder clips to clip and hold the glass and heat bed
to the wooden print bed.

Kapton tape should be used as the top layer. If you don't use glass, mount the Kapton tape
square on the red heated bed. If you do use glass, mount it on top of the glass.

Glass is recommended to keep the print surface really flat. You will have MUCH better
results if you use glass. We have chosen not to ship glass with our printers for safety
reasons.
Step 55

To spring the top print bed, you will need:

4x 1.25" 6-32 screw

4x star washer

4x small spring

4x 6-32 nut
© 2015
help.printrbot.com
Page 31 of 51
Printrbot Plus 1306 Assembly
Step 56

Screw the thumbscrew down enough to get some tension in the spring.

Do your best to level the bed - just eye it. You will level it much more precisely later.
Step 57

The wires from the heat bed will zip tie to the square holes in the wood print bed.

The heat bed power and thermistor plug into the plugs near the front. Read the labels
carefully. It may be a tight fit, but you can do it.

help.printrbot.com

Printrbot Plus 1306 Assembly
Step 58

The thermistor plugs in directly
across the board from the Heat bed
power. It is the one nearest the
front and is right next to the reset
switch.

Step 60

Make sure the couplers are spread apart enough to fit on loosely. You don't want to push
the vinyl tubing down and create friction by having the vinyl drag on the top plate of the
motor.
Step 61

1x 5/16"-18 nut is used for each side of the bridge to lift the Z axis up and down.

If you use acme rod as your threaded rod for the Z, use 1/4" -12 Acme rod. The nut for that
Acme rod is the exact size of a 5/16"-18 nut. It just works. We have tested it and the steps
per mm is 2020.

Step 70

1 - 1/4" washer

1 - 5/16" hex nut (locking)

Center the cerated portion of the hobbed bolt to the slot in the wooden assembly. You may
need to use the washer in order to center or you may not need it (green box).

Keep the hobbed bolt teeth CLEAN or the filament will not feed properly. When the teeth
are clogged you will not get any traction on your filament.

#1 reason the hobbed bolt slips and strips the filament--- you are running your hot end to
cool.... slice your model with a higher temperature. It is safe to go up to 230 C. Try
increasing your heat in 5 degree increments until you find the sweet spot for your printer.

#2 reason your filament isn't feeding through --- your tension on your 3" screws is wrong,
either too tight or too loose.

#3 reason your filament isn't feeding through --- your small gear is slipping. Check your set
screw and inspect your small gear on the extruder motor.

If you don't have a small hole in the center of the number 5 on the back of the extruder,
drill a hole and use a .75" 6-32 screw as an anchor for your zip ties to secure your hotend
& motor wires. This will keep them from getting in between the left bridge and the X
carriage on the left and reduce wire strain on the motor wires.
Step 74

The 1" 6-32 screws that mount the extruder to the extruder mount are a bit hard to reach
with a screw driver.

One requires you swing the motor out of the way (leave the bottom M3 8mm screw
attached).

The other can be reached straight down through the idler when it is closed.

Step 75

2x 1" 6-32 screws

2x 6-32 nuts

2x #6 washers

The washers are needed because of the large holes in the extruder base.

Be gentle with these connectors - they are fragile and critical. Make sure they are not
under any strain or stress.

The connector with the clear shielding connects to the white/black hotend thermistor cable
(yellow box).

The connector with the black shielding connects to the red/black hotend power cable
(green box).

Connect fan wiring to fan extension cable. Be sure to match color of wires on connector.

Step 76

One of the extruder motor mount screws is hidden. You have to rotate the large gear just
right to gain access to it.

Optional: I have been untwisting the hot end thermistor and power wires enough to
squeeze them in under the motor - in between the motor and the extruder base. Why?
They can be pinned (with some difficulty) in a fashion that allows proper slack to protect
the connections to the hotend. Did I mention not to strain these wires?
Step 77

Whether you tucked the wires under the motors or snuck them around the back, your 2nd
line of defense against wire strain on the hot end wires - and the motor wires - is this little
hack.

We added a small hole to the bottom of the "5" on the back extruder plate. A .75" 6-32
screw will screw in there to be our anchor.

2 zip ties will work together to secure our wires and reduce strain.

Zip ties every 5 or 6 inches please.
Of course, you could also use
cable wrap.
Step 79

Bridge Wiring and Cable Management

2x M3 8mm screws

When I took this picture, I didn't have any proper sized screws to secure the X end stop
limit switch to the left bridge.

I drilled out the holes on the limit switch to accept M3 8mm screws.

(Fingers crossed) Your kit will ship with properly sized screws to mount this without any
drilling.

One other short term fix - source your own screws for this step... admittedly, we know you
don't want to hear this. I just wanted to be straight forward in what is going on here.

This fancy part was, arguably, not even needed, but it bugged me not having a way to
adjust it.
Step 81

Your heat bed cables and your bridge cables will all fit through here, but not all at once. It
makes for a very clean final product.

Step 82

Of the two motor wires coming from the bridge, the short motor wire will be the extruder
and the longer one will be the X motor.
Step 83

The little metal pins that can be seen peeking through the side of the black motor
connector (second picture) should face the inside of the board.

As picture 3 shows, that puts the red wire on the right.

Step 84

Yes, it is a lot of wires in a small
place, but it works and allows the
greatest flexibility to switch out any
motor with a replacement without
regard for wire length. Same goes
for the limit switches.

Leveling the Bed

#1 Rule of 3D printing: The print bed must be flat.

Use the 4 thumbscrews and compress your leveling springs about half way - you want
some decent tension holding that bed up so it doesn't wobble or shake a nut loose.

After you visually level the bed...

#2 Rule of 3D printing: your X bars must be parallel with the top of your leveled print bed.

Move the printhead until its just above the print bed all the way to the left. Use the
threaded rod on each side to bring the X axis parallel to the print bed.

Move the carriage manually back and forth checking each side until you are sure the X is
parallel - equal distance above the platform.

TIP: if you don't have glass installed (optional), you may have a slight crown in the center
of your heat bed. We recommend adding simple window glass to the top, held down by
binder clips. Lowes or Home Depot will cut it to size and sell it to you cheap (~$3.00).

Step 86

Correct connectors from power supply.

Good practice - use the connector with the shortest distance of wiring back to the power
supply (green box).

Use the jumper cable to jump a green and black wire (orange box).

The Plus is actually pretty easy to build. It may look like a lot of parts in the bags, but it actually
only has 4 main sections. Taking them one at a time and covering them thoroughly - its a
breeze.
