Introduction
Welcome on the building manual page of ToyREP 3D Printer. On following pages you will find step-by-step walkthrough the construction of the printer, wiring electronics, firmware settings and calibration, so you can achieve the best performance of your printer.
Warning
Most of the pictures were taken after construction of first prototype. Some nuts, or other vitamins are already glued or attached to their position. There are also few minor changes described in text against what you can see on the pictures. If you are not sure what to do, please follow the text or contact me on thorgal(at)atlas(dot)cz.
Please read the complete manual before you will even order any parts or start construction works.
Disclaimer
I am sorry for any mistakes that may appear in any documentations for the printer and would like to ask you kindly to give me a notice of any problem you will find on thorgal(at)atlas(dot)cz. Despite my genuine regret I cannot be held responsible for any loses or injuries caused by assembling or operation of the ToyREP 3D printer.
Preparations
Print the parts as per your desired size and functions of the printer. You can collect them at Thingiverse.
The prototype was printed from 3mm thick ABS with 0.5mm nozzle, 0.25mm thick layer, 2 outlines, 3 top and bottom layers, 30% hexagonal infill. Total consumption of plastic is in the BoM. You can use your own proven setup. Only ABS is highly recommended to follow up as some parts will get quite hot.
Printed parts should be cleaned form residual and overflown plastic. Clean the holes For M3, M4 and M8 Threaded rods, screws and nuts.
Before the assembly, all parts suggested by the BoM should be collected.

Construction
PSU Cover
| Picture | Quantity | Description | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
1 | PSU Cover | Chose PSU1.stl (111x78x36mm big PSU) or PSU2.stl (129x99x38mm big PSU) |
| 1 | 1.8m Power Supply cable with plug | cca 1.5-2mm long PC cable would be just fine - cut of the computer Euro connector, keep power socket plug. | |
| 1 | 200mm Dual Line cable | Should be able to withstand at least 12V 4A, Insulation with two colours to distinguish +12V and -12V | |
| 1 | Power supply switch (250V, 1A) | Installation into panel with mounting hole 13x19mm | |
| 4 | Ø6mmx25 Heat Shrink | ||
| 1 | 3X13 Round-pan Wood Screw | ||
| 1 | Cable Tie |
 Cut off the Euro connector from PC Power cable. Cut off another 150mm piece of cable. Remove the outer insulation from the 150mm long piece, so you will get separate wires. Remove insulation on all the ends of cables. If you have switch, that support L and N wire switching solder both brown and blue 150mm long wires to separate circuits of the switch. Otherwise switch only L (brown). Protect the joint with heat shrink. Pull the Power cable through the cover. |
