Printer Overview & Specifications¶
Welcome to your new 3D printer! Before you begin your first print, let's get familiar with the main components of the machine and its technical capabilities.
Printer Diagram¶
The diagram below highlights the key components of your printer. Refer to the list to identify each part.
- Frame: The main structure that holds all components.
- Extruder: The entire assembly that feeds and melts the filament, including the motor, gears, and hotend.
- Hotend: The lower part of the extruder that heats up to melt the plastic. It consists of the heater block, nozzle, and heatsink.
- Nozzle: The small brass tip where molten plastic is extruded.
- Print Bed (Heatbed): The heated surface where your parts are printed.
- X-Axis: Controls the left-to-right movement of the extruder.
- Y-Axis: Controls the front-to-back movement of the print bed.
- Z-Axis: Controls the vertical movement of the X-axis gantry.
- Klipper Host: The small computer (e.g., a Raspberry Pi) that runs the main Klipper software.
- Mainboard (MCU): The printer's primary electronics board, located inside the electronics case.
- Power Supply (PSU): Converts AC wall power to DC power for the printer.
- Spool Holder: Holds the spool of filament.
