Connecting the wires
In the following steps, you will connect all the cables to the appropriate places on the main board. On the bottom panel, it is engraved where all cables should be connected.
Heaters
- Take the white heater cartridge wires. Use a small flat screwdriver to press on the terminal marked Heater 1 and insert the heaters. The positioning does not matter.
- Take the thick gray heated bed wires. Use a small flat screwdriver to press on the terminal marked Heated bed and insert the heaters. The positioning does not matter.
- Gently pull at the cables to ensure they are connected tightly.


Motors
- Take the plug from the X motor. This is the longest motor cable coming from the top right corner. Connect it to X-motor.
- Take the plug from the Y motor. This is the cable coming from the bottom right corner. Connect it to Y-motor.
- Take the plug from the Z motor and connect it to Z-motor.
- Take the plug from the feeder motor. This is the shortest motor cable coming from the top right corner. Connect it to E1-motor.
- Use the Velcro parts to wrap all the motor wires together. This ensures that they are kept out of the way.





UltiController
- Take the flat cables from the UltiController. You have marked one of the cables while assembling the controller.
- Connect the marked cable to exp. 1, connect the other to exp. 2.

Sensors
- Connect the PT100 sensor to temp 1.
- Connect the black plug from the heated bed cable to temp 3.
Tip: Run the sensors under the main board before connecting them. This ensures better cable management.


Limit switches
- Take the blue wired limit switch from the bottom left corner and connect it to x-end stop.
- Take the red wired limit switch from the bottom left corner and connect it to y-end stop.
- Take the black wired limit switch from the bottom right corner and connect it to z-end stop.
Tip: Run the black wired limit switch under the main board before connecting it. This ensures better cable management.
- Use the Velcro part to keep all the limit switch wires together.



Fan
- Take the red-black wired fan cable and run it under the main board.
- Connect the fan to Fan pwm.

Lastly, push the main board towards the right panel as far as possible and completely tighten the four bolts to secure the main board in place.
