Geeetech acrylic Prusa I3 Operation instructions

Assemble manual of Geeetech acrylic Prusa I3

Prologue
Note: This manual only applies to the 5-mm acrylic Prusa I3. We have
another one that is 8-mm.
As picture is much more helpful than words in assembly manual, so I use plenty of
pictures and less word. If you have any questions, please contact me on
www.geeetech.com and find me on Skype.
Unfold the package and take all the parts out to check the condition of
the items.
