Frame Assembly

Connecting your extrusions

There are a handful of different ways to assemble the frame sections: Hidden Connectors, which are easier to use if you have limited access to tools, or Blind Joints, which require additional holes to be drilled, and for the ends of the extrusions to be tapped. Most Prometheus Kit Suppliers provide extrusions prepared for Blind Joints.

We recommend assembling your frame in the following order, to ensure a smooth process:

Corner Extrusions

Assemble the firsts extrusion bars together like so. 2020 412mm (2) 2020 324mm (2) 2020 705mm (4)

Base Plate Installation

Slide the base plate (with all of the components affixed in the electronics section) and fix it in place. The motherboard will need to have a spacer under it if you bought a Prometheus kit.

Finalize The Frame

Wait before tightening the Z axis extrusions

We suggest waiting before tightening the screws for the two extrusion bars at the back because we will use the printer arm later to align and make everything parallel.

When you are happy with the squareness of your frame you can now jump on the kinematic.
