3.2. Assembling the Main Housing
- Install Filament Runout Sensor (Optional): If using, install the SFS 2.0 filament runout sensor module into its respective place within the housing. Secure it with three M3*8 screws.
- Connect CPAP Tubing to Blower: Cut off the rubber sleeve from the CPAP tubing and connect it securely to the blower.
- Route Cables: Carefully run both the blower cable and the SFS cable (if applicable) through the cable management cutout in the housing.
- Install Backplate: Attach the backplate to the housing using M3x10 screws. Secure the blower with three M2.6 screws.
- Install BLDC Driver and Adapter Board: Install the BLDC driver and the adapter board into the housing. Secure them with four M2 and M3*8 screws respectively.
- Connect Wires: Connect the BLDC driver power cable to the adapter board. Plug the 3-pin XH2.54 connector into the potentiometer. Cut the included power and signal cables to your preferred length and connect them to the adapter board. Connect the power to 24V DC. Connect the signal cable to any fan port (3.3-24V full range compatibility). Caution: Be careful not to reverse the positive and negative terminals during wiring.
- Connect to Mainboard: Connect the power cable to the fan interface of your mainboard. The voltage can be selected as 5V/12V/24V depending on your mainboard's capabilities.
- Install Backcover: Install and secure the backcover with four M3*8 screws.
3.3. Air Intake and Mounting
- Secure Air Intake Filter Adapter: Secure the Air Intake Filter adapter with two M3*8 screws.
- Pass Air Duct: Pass the air duct through the printed part and secure it with two M3*8 screws.
- Mount to Extrusion: Loosen the screws on the printer's extrusion to make installation easier, then tighten them after positioning the assembly. Use two M5*10 screws and T-nuts to secure the assembly to the extrusion.
- Install Knomi V2 (Optional): If using, insert the Knomi V2 into its designated slot. Secure the tube adapter with two M3*8 screws to keep the Knomi in position.
- Secure EBB SB CAN Toolboard (Optional): If using, secure the BIGTREETECH EBB SB CAN toolboard using two M3*8 screws.
- Install Stealthburner: Install the Stealthburner onto the printer.
- Measure and Cut CPAP Hose: Move the print head to its farthest distance on the axis and measure the required length of the CPAP hose. Cut it to the appropriate length, leaving an extra 2-5cm for flexibility.
- Secure Hose: Use cable ties to secure the CPAP hose in place.
- Insert PTFE Tube: Insert the PTFE tube into the printed part.

4. Operating Instructions
The BIGTREETECH Universal Turbo Kit is designed for seamless integration with your 3D printer's control system. Once installed and wired correctly, the blower's speed can be controlled via a 5-24V PWM signal.
- Manual Speed Control: Utilize the included potentiometer knob by connecting its 3-pin XH2.54 connector to the potentiometer for manual adjustment of the blower speed.
- Firmware Speed Control: For advanced control, connect the signal cable to a fan port on your mainboard or Raspberry Pi (SBC). This allows for speed control through your printer's firmware, enabling precise airflow adjustments during printing. Refer to your printer's specific documentation for fan control settings.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Universal Turbo Kit.
- Air Filter Cleaning: The mushroom-head air filter is crucial for preventing dust and filament particles from entering the blower. Periodically inspect and clean the air filter to maintain optimal airflow and prevent blockages. Depending on your printing environment and material usage, cleaning frequency may vary.
- General Inspection: Regularly check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure. Inspect the CPAP tubing for any signs of wear or damage.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Universal Turbo Kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/Fan Not Spinning:
- Verify all power connections are secure and correctly polarized (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Ensure the mainboard's fan port is supplying the correct voltage (5V/12V/24V) and is enabled in the firmware.
- Check the potentiometer knob (if used) is not set to minimum speed.
- Insufficient Airflow:
- Inspect the air intake filter for clogs and clean if necessary.
- Ensure the CPAP tubing and air duct are free from obstructions or kinks.
- Verify the blower speed setting (manual or firmware) is at the desired level.
- Unusual Noise:
- Check for any loose components or screws within the housing.
- Ensure the blower is securely mounted and not vibrating against other parts of the printer.
