Next

	1x Heatbed
	1x Mirror Clamp
	3x M3x20 CounterSunk
	3x Lock Nut

• Mount the Mirror Clamp onto the Heatbed with the screws and nuts.

  • The matte side is mounted on top.

• Tighten the nuts until the head of the screws is being pulled smoothly into the material of the mirror clamp.

1x Ziptie

• Hold the heatbed on the left side of the y-carriage as shown in the picture above

• Fix the braided sleeve of the heatbed cable to the back of the y-carriage with a zip tie

• Lay down the heatbed and organize the cable so that the wires are neatly underneath the heatbed.

	3x M3 Knurled Nut
	3x Spring

• Put the springs over the screws.

• Tighten them with the knurled nuts.

• The adjusting of the heatbed happens in the next chapter so don’t bother about it now.

	Heatbed Thermistor Connection
	Heatbed Power Connection

• Connect the heatbed to the RUMBA

  • Fix the cable in such a way that it does not obstruct the movement of the Y-Axis.

  • The cable probably runs smoothest if guided between the M10 rod and the smooth rod.

  • Experiment with how to fix the cable with zipties for optimal movement.
