Follow the Circular Saw manufacturer’s instructions to safely attach a Metal Cutting Wheel part to the Circular Saw.

Secure the Aluminum Stock part in the Vise with most of the Aluminum Stock hanging out of the side of the Vise.

Use a Measuring Tape and a Permanent Marker to mark a 50mm cut from the end of the Aluminum Stock part. Make sure to leave enough room for the width of the Metal Cutting Wheel on the Circular Saw.

While taking all appropriate precautions, use the Circular Saw to make the cut from the previous step.

After the part cools from the cut, remove the remaining Aluminum Stock from the Vise and set it aside.

If necessary, use the Metal File to remove burrs from the edges of the 50mm Aluminum Stock part.

Bring the 50mm Aluminum Stock part from the previous step to the location of the Drill Press.

While following the manufacturer’s instructions for the Drill Press, securely install the 5mm Drill Bit into the Drill Press.

Align the Heatsink Block Jig over the 50mm Aluminum Stock part.

Use the mounting tools included with the drill press (or a suitable alternative) to secure the 50mm Aluminum Stock part in place for the first hole to be drilled.

While taking every necessary precaution, turn on the drill press and use it to drill the hole through the 50mm Aluminum Stock part.

Repeat the above steps for all three holes that need to be drilled into the Universal Gearless Extruder Heatsink Block.

Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install the M6 tap into the Tap Handle.

Secure the Universal Gearless Extruder Heatsink Block in the jaws of the Vise with the widest side of the Universal Gearless Extruder Heatsink Block facing up. The smallest hole should be accessible from the top.

Using the Tap Handle and the M6 tap, begin to tap the hole.

For best results, unscrew the M6 tap periodically while tapping the Universal Gearless Extruder Heatsink Block. This allows the metal shavings to fall out of the way.

Once the hole is fully tapped, use the Metal File to remove any excess metal from the Universal Gearless Extruder Heatsink Block.

The Universal Gearless Extruder Heatsink Block is now complete.

Unpack required parts from bag.

Using the 2mm Allen Wrench, lightly screw the M3 x 10mm Cap Screw parts into the two threaded holes on the side of the Volcano Style Heater Block.

Using the 1.5mm Allen Wrench, lightly screw the M3 x 4mm Grub Screw into the single threaded hole on the side of the Volcano Style Heater Block. Be sure to leave enough room for the Thermistor Cartridge to be inserted later.

Insert the Heater Cartridge into the non-threaded hole in the Volcano Style Heater Block with the wires coming out of the end with an indent. Make sure the Heater Cartridge does not extend past the bottom of the Volcano Style Heater Block.

Insert the Thermistor Cartridge into the smaller hole on the Volcano Style Heater Block with the wires coming out of the same side as the previous step. Make sure the Thermistor Cartridge does not extend past the bottom of the Volcano Style Heater Block.

Screw down the M3 x 4mm Grub Screw part lightly using a 1.5mm Allen Wrench to fasten the Thermistor Cartridge, but very lightly as the part can go right through the Thermistor Cartridge.

Screw down the M3 x 10mm Cap Screw parts using a 2mm Allen Wrench, so that the Volcano Style Heater Block is secured. Do this evenly by screwing down one M3 x 10mm Cap Screw then the other and alternating four times.

Using a 7mm Socket Wrench, screw the Volcano Nozzle into the end of the Volcano Style Heater Block that does not have wires, until there is 1/2 of a thread (approximately 1mm) exposed.

Screw the short end of the Heat Break into the other side of the Volcano Style Heater Block until it bottoms out against the Volcano Nozzle.

Gently secure the Volcano Style Heater Block in the Metal Jaw Vise, leaving enough clearance to tighten down the Volcano Nozzle.

Attach the Heater Cartridge wires onto the output of the 24v Power Supply and power on the 24v Power Supply.

Wait two minutes for the Volcano Style Heater Block to get hot.

Using Needle Nose Pliers, hold the Heat Break in place while tightening down the Volcano Nozzle using the 7mm Socket Wrench. Make sure that the Volcano Nozzle bottoms out against the Heat Break, not against the Volcano Style Heater Block - the goal is to close the filament flow gap between the Volcano Nozzle and Heat Break.

Once tightened, turn off the 24v Power Supply.

Disconnect the Heater Cartridge from the 24v Power Supply.

Wait at least five minutes for the Volcano Style Heater Block to cool down to a temperature that is safe to touch.

Reposition the Volcano Style Heater Block in the Metal Jaw Vise so that the long end of the Heat Break is accessible to tools.

Screw the M6 Thin Nut onto the Heat Break until the M6 Thin Nut is near the gap on the Heat Break.

Apply one drop(s) of Thermal Paste to the threads of the Heat Break and spread the Thermal Paste evenly across the threads.

Bend the Heater Cartridge wires out of the way so you can screw on the heat sink. Hold the bottom of the Heater Cartridge wire with Needle Nose Pliers so that when the wires are bent down they won’t break from the Heater Cartridge.

Screw the Heatsink Block onto the Heat Break so that the Heat Break sticks out 2mm above the Heatsink Block.

Line up the wider sides of the Heatsink Block and the Volcano Style Heater Block.

Tighten the M6 Thin Nut against the Heatsink Block using Slip Joint Pliers.

Remove the Hot End Assembly from the Metal Jaw Vise.

Place the Volcano Style Heater Block Silicone Sock onto the Volcano Style Heater Block.

Insert the open end of the Blower Fan into the fan duct on the Secondary Extruder Part.

Using the 2.5mm Allen Wrench, screw two M3 x 20mm Screw part(s) into the mounting holes of the Blower Fan to mount it to the Secondary Extruder Part.

Use the 2.5mm Allen Wrench to screw M3 x 8mm Screw part(s) into the remaing open mounting holes in the Secondary Extruder Part.

Apply one drop(s) of Thermal Paste to the flat area between the mounting holes on the 40mm Heatsink Fins.

Place two M3 x 30mm Screw part(s) into the mounting holes of the 40mm Heatsink Fins with the threads of the M3 x 30mm Screw part(s) sticking out of the flat side of the 40mm Heatsink Fins.

Orient the Hot End Assembly with the longer side on the right.

Insert the M3 x 30mm Screw part(s) through the mounting holes of the Hot End Assembly. This should squish the Thermal Paste between the Hot End Assembly and the 40mm Heatsink Fins.

Position the Hot End Assembly mounting holes against the bottom mounting holes of the Nema 17 Stepper Motor in the Motor Mount.

Lightly screw down the M3 x 30mm Screw part(s) using the 2.5mm Allen Wrench to hold the Hot End Assembly against the Nema 17 Stepper Motor in the Motor Mount, but not too hard as the position of the Hot End Assembly will be adjusted later.
