00. Preparations
Several parts need to be prepared and semi-assembled to improve the workflow.
01. Frame Assembly
Carefully assemble the frame as squareness is critical for smooth operation, take your time during the next steps.
02. Z-Axis assemblies
The Z motors are responsible for the up and down movement of the bed and consequent layer stacking.
03. Linear rails
Linear rails on all axis ensure precise and stiff movement. Be sure to prepare your rails in order to obtain a smooth motion system.
04. core xy idler assemblies
The idler assemblies maintain a smooth and strong pivot point for the belts.
05. corexy motor assemblies
The motors need a structure that enables them to transfer their rotational power to the belts.
06. x-axis assembly
A heavy-duty platform for the toolhead to speed through!
07. Bed arm assemblies
These bed arms work their magic when performing the 3-point kinematic bed levelling.
08. Bed & Y-Axis Endstop Assemblies
These bed arms work their magic when performing the 3-point kinematic bed levelling.
09. EVA 3.0 Assembly
EVA is a 3D printing carriage platform revolving around accessibility - the goal is to give the power of choice to the users by enabling as many options for carriage hardware as possible.
10. X-Axis Gantry Alignment
The X-Axis gantry needs to be perpendicular to the Y rails, the following steps will help you acomplish that.
11. Accessories
The accessories described in this guide will make your experience with the V-Core 3.1 much more enjoyable.
