Something You Need to Know

Please note that SecKit tries to be helpful


and provides as clear instructions as we
can, but we will not be responsible for
any of your loss caused during assembly
process.

!3
Something You Need to Know

Linear Blocks

Every linear block comes with a plastic rail.


NEVER leave the block along.

ALWAYS keep a rail under the block. Those tiny steel balls will fall out and you will cry.

!4
Something You Need to Know

How to move linear Linear block


blocks onto linear rails? Plastic rail Linear rail
Connect plastic rail and linear rail

Linear block
Plastic rail Linear rail
Carefully move linear block across the rails

Linear block
Plastic rail Linear rail
Remove plastic rail

!5
Something You Need to Know

Clean linear rails


• Lubricating oil

• Tissue or cotton swobs

Action
After the rails being cut, some dirt and
particles will stay on the surface, so
linear block won’t move smoothly.

Wipe those dirt out with lubricating oil


and tissue before assembly, and always
keep the rail oily to prevent from rusting.

Pay more attention to the


grooves.

!6
Something You Need to Know

Make sure you build it


right in each step Parts to be prepared
Errors will accumulate along with each
step in your assembly progress. To get a
solid machine you must build it correctly.

Each page in this manual is written in a


similar structure. You can ignore if you
already know how to do, but you must
read the “Exam” step to ensure you do it Actions
correctly.

Something You Need to Know

Assemble on a flat &


solid surface
(O) Stiff and heavy table, large tile,
granite table, etc.

(X) Carpet, thin and unstable desk, etc.

!8
Something You Need to Know

Fasten bolts diagonally


If there are multiple bolts, fasten them in
a diagonal sequence.

Also tighten screws with proper force to


prevent from damaging threads .

!9
Something You Need to Know

Always Turn ON with


steppers CONNECTED!
The stepping motor driver board needs
an electronic load to function normally.

It’s highly possible to damage the


drivers if steppers do not exist or are not
connected well.

Check Gear Position


After the belt tensioning is done, slowly
move the extruder all around the XY

the gears.

If the belt rubs against the top edge of


gear, move the gear lower, or do vise
versa, until both belts run in the middle
of gears. This will extend belt life.

Auto PID tuning


Run following command in OctoPrint Terminal or similar place.
It takes minutes and will show a set of P, I, D numbers. Save
PID numbers into your configuration file or EEPROM of control
board.

Auto-tune extruder PID at 200°C.

M303 E0 S200 ; auto-tune extruder PID at 200°C.

Set part-cooling fan speed at 80% (204/255=0.8) and auto-tune


heated bed PID at 50%.

M106 P0 204 ; set fan speed at 204 of 255


M303 E-1 S50 ; auto-tune heated bed PID at 50°C.

P.S. The 24V 3.5W fan is an overkill, so 50% ~ 80% speed is


fast enough for normal printing, also not too loud.

Exam
Sometimes while auto-tuning bed PID the procedure won’t stop
and the temperature just climbs up slowly and endlessly. Make
sure your fan is ON and try it again.

Must calibrate Servo42 after assembly


If you’re using Servo42s, a calibration process must be done after
assembly is completed. This will let the servos adapt your machine
loading.

Please contact us for Servo42 user manual. You can connect to


Servo42 with the attached micro USB cable and these free software
tools: SerialTools (Mac) or Serial Port Utility (Windows).

Configure Step Motor Driving Current


Lower current can be silent but more likely to loose step at high
speed. According to experience, 500mA for XY steppers is a good
point to begin with.

If you’re using Servo42s, you’ll print silently if setting max current to


300mA and hold current to 100mA. The default values are 500mA
and 300mA.

You can still optimize by doing some more experiments.
