Press in the two collets into the holes with the brass ring.
-
Connect the two collet clips
-
-
-
Gather
-
Heatsink
-
4x 3mm Grub Screws
-
The Smaller, 1.5mm Hex key
-
-
-
Use the 3 M3 dome screws left over to mount your heatsink to your printer, when you're ready to do so.
-
-
-
Gather:
-
2 x Heater Blocks
-
2 x Nozzles
-
2 x Kraken Heat Breaks
-
-
-
You should be looking at the side of the heater blocks with three holes in it
-
-
-
Screw in the nozzle all the way into the heater block. Don't worry about tightness yet.
-
Then, unscrew the nozzle by a 1/4 of a turn. This will leave a little space to tighten after screwing in the heat break.
-
-
-
Screw in the heat break until it touches the nozzle.
-
Tighten the nozzle against the heat break. No need to over tighten, we'll be hot-tightening later.
-
These pictures show normal V6 heat breaks, instead of the Kraken ones you're using (which are smooth).
-
-
-
If there is significant space between the nozzle top and the heater block you should re-adjust your nozzle and heat break to eliminate that space.
-
-
-
Gather
-
2x Thermistor Cartidges
-
The Smaller, 1.5mm Hex Wrench
-
2x 3mm Grub Screws
-
2x Heater Blocks
-
-
-
Slide in the thermistor cartridge.
-
You can slide the cartridge in either direction so that the wires extend from one side or the other of your heater block. Think about how you'll be organising your wiring to decide which makes sense for your printer.
-
-
-
Screw in grub screw until it just touches the thermistor.
-
Tighten M3 grub screw by an 1/8 of a turn.
-
Do not over tighten the screw. The thermistor cartridge is soft, and you might deform it if you over-tighten the screw.
-
-
-
Before you install your heater cartridge, you should double check that you both purchased and received the correct voltage cartridge. This process is less annoying than putting out a house fire.
-
If you have a 12v30w heater cartridge, your multimeter should read 4.8Ω
-
If you have a 24v30w heater cartridge, your multimeter should read 19.2Ω
-
Your cartridges resistance may deviate slightly from these numbers, which is fine. We're mostly interested in verifying which cartridge type you have.
-
-
-
Gather the parts you'll need to install your heater cartridge:
-
Heater Blocks
-
2x Heater Cartridges
-
The Larger, 2.5mm Hex Wrench
-
Two of the longer M3x15 Screws.
-
-
-
Slide in the heater cartridge. Typically you'd want the wires to come out the same side as your thermistor wires.
-
-
-
Tighten the M3 x 10 socket dome screw (with the M3 washer on it) with 2 mm hey key until the clamp deforms slightly (as shown in the second picture).
-
-
-
Before moving on, gently tug on your thermistor and heater cartridge wires. We don't want them slipping out during a print!
-
-
-
-
-
-
Slide the two heat breaks into your heatsink.
-
Tighten the four grub screws to secure the heatsinks
-
-
-
Plug in your heater cartridges, thermistors, and fan into your electronics board.
-
Make sure to cable manage as you go! You'll be happier later if everything is neat and tidy.
-
-
-
You'll need to update your printer's firmware (or configure new firmware from scratch). Follow the link to the relevant guides, then come back to finish up:
-
-
-
Using your printer's control software (or LCD screen), set both hotend's temperature to 285°C.
-
Allow them to reach 285°C and wait one minute to allow all components to equalise in temperature.
-
Gently tighten both nozzles whilst holding their heater blocks in place with a spanner. Use a smaller 7mm spanner to tighten the nozzle.
-
You want to aim for 3Nm of torque on the hot nozzle—this is about as much pressure as you can apply with one finger on a small spanner.
-
-
-
-
First, let your hotends cool down
-
Slip your silicone sock over the hotend. Try to get each of the little clips on the top of the heat block so the sock will stay on better.
-
-
-
If you're using the pro sock make sure that the tip of the nozzle protrudes from the sock.
-
If you're using a normal sock, it should look like the second picture when you're finished.
-
-
-
Send the command M303 to autotune your PID. Remember to do it for both HotEnds. For more detailed instructions, check out Thomas Sanladerer's video guide for more information.
-
-
-
In your slicer of preference find the retraction settings. In Slic3r this is in printer settings.
-
Start with a retraction length of 1mm
-
If you experience blobs or stringing on the surface of the print increase the retraction length to 2mm.
-
-
-
You're ready to finish your calibration!
-
You'll have to make sure your nozzles are level to each other. You can adjust this by unscrewing the grub screws holding the heat breaks in place, and gently moving them to be better aligned.
-
You'll also have to calibrate the distance between your nozzles, so that they print on top of each other
-
Don't forget to update your slicer to tell it you have two nozzles!
