ASSEMBLY MANUAL

V3.310815

Before you start to build your helloBEEprusa, check if you have the necessary tools to do it.

You will need the following:

NEEDED TOOLS

SET OF HEX KEYS

BOX CUTTER

CUTTER PLIERS

SPOOL HOLDER

REGULAR PLIERS

MARKER

FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER

You will need a set of hex key for the assembly.

There is a 1.5mm hex key supplied with the kit.

You will need it towards the end. Always a helpful tool. You might need it to take out

the Structure Parts.

You will also need to remove some strands

from the printed parts with a cutter.

Take great care not to cut yourself

when doing this.

You need a marker to write on the

labels, for better guidance

while building helloBEEprusa.

Yes, there is a Spool Holder

included in the Structure frame,

which doubles as a spanner during assembly.

Sometimes you might need to use some

extra strengh assembling the printer.

Some of the structure’s metal components

might need some filing where the paint is thick,

or where there might be small fragments left over

from the manufacturing process.

SOFT FACE HAMMER FILE

To make recognizing each type of component easier, we’ve assigned a shape and colour to each type.

BOX 1

BOX 2 BOX 5

BOX 4

BOX 3

This way, we tried to divide all the components in boxes, just to make it easy for you.

BOX 0

We have divided the manual into 6 chapters, from A to F, with each chapter describing a part of

the assembly process. Within each one, we’ve numbered every step.

This way, we will have the following chapters:

A– Assembling the structure

B– Assembling the build plate structure

C– Assembling the extruder

D– Assembling the X-Axis

E– How the 3 axes and all their components come together

F– Assembling the Electronics

We aim to make it simple for you, so we have created areas in this manual to help you build your

helloBEEprusa as well and as easily as you can.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Even though the helloBEEprusa 3D printer was designed to be as safe as possible,

we would like to remind you it was conceived to be used by adults.

Still, there are safety concerns you must keep in mind:

Other information you need to know

After assembling your helloBEEprusa, don’t drop/knock/damage it and don’t connect it to anything

that hasn’t been previously validated by BEEVERYCREATIVE.

Make sure gases, explosive and other flammable materials aren’t kept, stored or transported

with your helloBEEprusa 3D printer or its parts.

ADULT SUPERVISION

COOL AND WELL-VENTILATED

ENVIRONMENT

MOVING PARTS

HIGH TEMPERATURES

For better results with helloBEEprusa,

it is recommended you maintain an acceptable level

of air quality around the printer.

Environments with some ventilation are also recommended

so as to renew the air if you choose to print

with materials that release odors.

Because we can’t stress this enough,

helloBEEprusa was developed to be used by adults.

Should you wish that children also use it,

you must supervise them at all times while they do so.

You must also take great care with small printed objects,

because children might try to swallow them,

which poses a danger of them choking.

Whenever helloBEEprusa is functioning,

some mechanical parts can reach high temperatures,

which can cause serious burns if touched.

For that reason you must always be careful

not to touch it.

Whenever it’s functioning,

helloBEEprusa has moving parts.

For that reason, you should always keep a safe distance

from the printer while it’s operating.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

helloBEEprusa is a DIY 3D printer assembled by the user.

Its warranty is assured for the components that are included with the KIT.

Warranty will be voided:

- If inappropriate handling during assembly takes place.

- If the user makes incorrect connections, breaks or damages parts during assembly.

Before assembling your helloBEEprusa you must read thoroughly the Terms and Conditions

of the BEEVERYCREATIVE Standard Warranty on our website:
