Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cable before starting the installation.

1. Assemble the LED Light

Cut the AFTERTECH 1807 aluminium profile and matte diffuser to 300 mm.

Install the Prusa LED strip inside the aluminium profile and fit the matte diffuser.

Attach the two 3D-printed Odense3D mounting brackets.

2. Position and Mark the Mounting Holes

1. Place two pieces of masking tape on the upper angled frame of the INDX toolhead panel.

2. Hold the assembled LED light against the frame.

3. Centre the light both horizontally and vertically.

4. Use a pencil to mark the two mounting holes through the printed brackets.

5. Remove the LED light before drilling.

3. Drill the Mounting Holes

1. Drill two clearance holes for the M3 screws at the marked positions.

2. Use a vacuum cleaner close to the drill while drilling to collect metal shavings.

3. Protect the printer interior from metal shavings.

4. Check carefully that no metal shavings remain inside the printer.

Important: Make sure there are no cables, electronic components or other parts behind the drilling positions.

4. Install the LED Light

1. Remove the masking tape.

2. Insert one M3 nut into each 3D-printed mounting bracket.

3. Position the LED light on the inside of the angled frame, with the light facing into the printer chamber.

4. Secure the light using the two M3 screws.

Make sure the LED light is firmly mounted and does not interfere with moving printer components.

5. Route the LED Cable

1. Route the LED cable down along the inside of the right-hand side of the INDX toolhead panel.

2. Guide the cable through the existing opening so that it exits just above the original lower LED strip.

3. Make sure the cable is safely positioned and cannot be damaged or caught by moving components.

6. Electrical Connection and Polarity

The printer must remain disconnected from power during this procedure.

1. Locate the original lower LED strip on the INDX toolhead panel.

2. Carefully remove the small section of existing heat-shrink tubing at the intended connection area without damaging the LED strip, cables or solder joints.

3. Compare the original LED strip with the new Prusa LED strip.

4. Make sure the printed markings on both LED strips are oriented in the same direction.

5. Check that the red (+) and black (−) connections are positioned correctly on both LED strips.

6. Verify the polarity using a multimeter before making any electrical connection.

Important: Do not rely only on wire colours or printed markings. Verify the supply voltage, polarity, connection method and available power capacity before connecting the additional LED strip.

7. Insulate the Electrical Connections

IMPORTANT: All exposed electrical connections must be insulated again after the LED strip has been connected.

Use new heat-shrink tubing or suitable electrical insulation tape.

Make sure that:

• No exposed wires or solder joints remain.

• Positive (+) and negative (−) connections cannot touch each other.

• The insulation is secure and properly fitted.

• No electrical connections can contact the aluminium profile or other metal parts.

Never reconnect power before all electrical connections are properly insulated.

8. Final Inspection

Before switching on the printer:

1. Check that the LED light is securely mounted.

2. Make sure all cables are correctly routed and secured.

3. Check that all electrical connections are properly insulated.

4. Confirm that no metal shavings remain inside the printer.

5. Make sure the LED light and cable do not interfere with moving parts.

After all checks are completed and the electrical installation has been verified, reconnect the printer power and test the LED light.

Monteringsvejledning

VIGTIGT: Sluk printeren, og tag strømstikket ud, inden monteringen påbegyndes.

1. Samling af LED-lampen

Afkort AFTERTECH 1807-aluminiumsprofilen og den matte diffuser til 300 mm.

Montér Prusas LED-strip i aluminiumsprofilen, og sæt den matte diffuser på plads.

Montér de to 3D-printede beslag fra Odense3D.

2. Placering og opmærkning

1. Sæt to stykker malertape på den øverste skrå vange på INDX-toolpladen.

2. Hold den samlede LED-lampe op mod vangen.

3. Centrér lampen både vandret og lodret.

4. Markér de to monteringshuller gennem beslagene med en blyant.

5. Fjern LED-lampen igen, inden der bores.

3. Boring af monteringshuller

1. Bor to gennemgangshuller til M3-skruerne på de markerede steder.

2. Hold en støvsuger tæt på borestedet, mens du borer, så metalspånerne bliver opsamlet.

3. Beskyt printerens indvendige dele mod metalspåner.

4. Kontrollér omhyggeligt, at der ikke ligger metalspåner tilbage i printeren.

Vigtigt: Kontrollér, at der ikke er ledninger, elektronik eller andre dele bag de steder, hvor der skal bores.

4. Montering af LED-lampen

1. Fjern malertapen.

2. Sæt en M3-møtrik i hvert af de to 3D-printede monteringsbeslag.

3. Hold LED-lampen på plads på indersiden af den skrå vange, så lyset vender ind i printerens kabinet.

4. Fastgør lampen med de to M3-skruer.

Kontrollér, at lampen sidder stabilt og ikke kommer i kontakt med printerens bevægelige dele.

5. Kabelføring

1. Før LED-lampens kabel ned langs højre indvendige side af INDX-toolpladen.

2. Før kablet gennem den eksisterende åbning, så det kommer ud lige over den nederste originale LED-strip.

3. Sørg for, at kablet ligger sikkert og ikke kan komme i klemme eller blive beskadiget af bevægelige dele.

6. Elektrisk tilslutning og polaritet

Printeren skal fortsat være slukket og afbrudt fra strømmen.

1. Find den nederste originale LED-strip på INDX-toolpladen.

2. Fjern forsigtigt det lille stykke eksisterende krympeflex ved det planlagte tilslutningssted. Pas på ikke at beskadige LED-strip, ledninger eller lodninger.

3. Sammenlign den originale LED-strip med den nye LED-strip fra Prusa.

4. Kontrollér, at teksten og markeringerne på de to LED-strips vender samme vej.

5. Kontrollér placeringen af rød (+) og sort (−) ledning på begge LED-strips.

6. Brug et multimeter til at kontrollere polariteten, inden der foretages elektrisk tilslutning.

Vigtigt: Stol ikke alene på ledningsfarver eller tekstretning. Spænding, polaritet, tilslutningsmetode og strømforsyningens kapacitet skal være kontrolleret, inden den ekstra LED-strip tilsluttes.

7. Isolering af de elektriske forbindelser

VIGTIGT: Når LED-strippen er tilsluttet, skal alle blotlagte elektriske forbindelser isoleres igen.

Brug et nyt stykke krympeflex eller egnet elektrikertape.

Kontrollér, at:

• Ingen ledninger eller loddepunkter er blotlagte.

• Plus (+) og minus (−) ikke kan komme i kontakt med hinanden.

• Isoleringen sidder sikkert og korrekt.

• Ingen elektriske forbindelser kan komme i kontakt med aluminiumsprofilen eller andre metaldele.

Tilslut aldrig strømmen igen, før alle elektriske forbindelser er korrekt isoleret.

8. Afsluttende kontrol

Inden printeren tændes:

1. Kontrollér, at LED-lampen sidder ordentligt fast.

2. Kontrollér, at alle ledninger er korrekt ført og fastgjort.

3. Kontrollér, at alle elektriske forbindelser er isoleret.

4. Kontrollér, at der ikke ligger metalspåner i printeren.

5. Kontrollér, at LED-lampen og ledningerne ikke kommer i kontakt med bevægelige dele.

Når alle kontroller er gennemført, og den elektriske installation er verificeret, kan printeren tilsluttes strøm igen, og LED-belysningen testes.
