Instructions for assemble

Welcome to the Universal-Pellet-Extruder-V3-ZQ-version wiki!

Assembly instruction:

Clean off the parts, drill out all the holes and check you can slide the stepper motor and brackets into the housing.

Bolt the housing to the frame of the CR-10, add washers where needed. (Also see the new CR-10 bracket from Mahor https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2506666) Using this you would not need to bolt the frame onto the CR-10 first).

Insert the bottom bracket

Cut out and check for size the bottle plastic cover for the hopper

Install the left side part cooling fan

Add the right heat sink cooling fan

Insert the hopper without the drinks bottle cover

Insert the top bracket with the stepper motor and the already attached 4 upright brass pins

Attach the coupling to the stepper motor

Insert the screw, heating chamber and nozzle (add some layers of insulation before attaching this to the printer).

Add the right heat sink cooling fan

Add the plastic hopper cover you made earlier

Install the part cooling fan duck (if your going to use it)

Add a large zip-tie around the CR-10's carriage and the whole extruder housing to take some of the strain off the small screws that hold it in place

Connect the tube funnel and support pole to feed the hopper

Attach a peace of wire with an 8mm loop in the end to your stepper motor, check that it works with the length of your feed tube.

Bolt the stepper motor to the stirrer mount then glue the mount into funnel

Put it all together, hang the funnel on your upright support, then adjust the stepper height so that the wire look in the hopper can rotate at just the right place, about 2mm's back from the upright bars inside the hopper.
