WARNING

Before starting the installation, verify that all printed parts are oriented correctly and that the interfaces and screw holes are properly aligned. Do not force parts together, as this may damage the printed components.

Printed Parts Assembly Steps

Assemble Printed Parts ABC

• Align Printed Part A, Printed Part B, and Printed Part C as shown in the diagram.
• Use CM3*6 self-tapping screws to fasten them from the top.
• Make sure all clips, locating posts, and frame edges are fully seated.

Assemble Printed Parts CDE

• Align the assembled side structure with Printed Part D and Printed Part E.
• Install Printed Part CE in the direction shown, then secure it with CM3*6 self-tapping screws.
• After tightening the screws, check that the left and right side frames remain parallel to avoid issues during the later four-sided assembly.

Front Frame Printed Parts Assembly

Assemble Printed Parts GH

• Join Printed Part G and Printed Part H in the direction shown.
• Secure the connection points with CM3*6 self-tapping screws.
• After assembly, make sure the center joint is properly aligned with no obvious offset.

Assemble the Front Decorative Printed Parts

• Install the left and right front decorative printed parts onto the corresponding positions on both sides of the front frame.
• Secure them with CM3*6 self-tapping screws at the screw holes shown in the diagram.
• After installation, check that the visible decorative surfaces sit flat and flush.

Assemble the Illuminated Button Switch and Printed Parts FGHI

• Install the illuminated button switch into the corresponding hole on the right decorative part.
• Combine Printed Part F, Printed Part G, Printed Part H, and Printed Part I as shown.
• Secure the connection points with CM3*6 self-tapping screws.
• After installation, press the button lightly to confirm that it moves smoothly without sticking.

Assemble the Light Cover and Covers

• Install the printed lamp shade and printed cover plate into the front frame in the direction shown.
• Route the extension cable through the groove shown in the diagram to prevent it from being pinched or pulled.
• After assembly, check that the printed cover plate is fully seated.

Four-Side Printed Parts Assembly

• Combine the front frame, left and right side frames, and rear frame into a complete outer frame.
• Align the four corner connection points, then fasten them with CM3*6 self-tapping screws. After assembly, check that the outer frame is flat and that all four corners fit properly.

Install the Vent Kit

• Place the vent kit into the corresponding mounting position inside the frame.
• Secure the vent kit and related connectors in the direction shown.
• Make sure the vent opens and closes smoothly without interfering with the housing or cables.

Assemble the PCB and Cable Decorative Cover

• Install the PCB in the specified position inside the frame.
• Secure the PCB with CM3*6 self-tapping screws.
• Organize the cables into the corresponding routing grooves, then install the cable cover plate.
• After assembly, check that no cables are pinched and that all connectors are firmly attached.

Install Panda Vent onto the Printer Top

• Remove the glass top cover from the printer.
  Align Panda Vent with the top of the printer, then place it onto the printer from above.
  Place the glass top cover back onto Panda Vent, then check that Panda Vent sits flat and stable.

Installation Check

• All CM3*6 self-tapping screws are tightened, with none missing or loose.
• The four-sided frame is assembled evenly, with no obvious gaps or offsets at the joints.
• The illuminated button presses smoothly without sticking.
• The printed lamp shade, printed cover plate, vent kit, and PCB are all installed in place. Cables are routed neatly and are not pinched by the housing, cover plated, or vent kit.
• After the assembly is placed on top of the printer, it remains stable and does not interfere with the printer lid or other mechanical movement.
