External Assembly Manual

The EVA Extruder is a complex project in itself. To keep documentation clear and organized, its assembly guide is maintained as a separate, dedicated manual by Paweł Kucmus.

You must now pause this guide and switch to the official EVA Extruder manual to build your toolhead. Assemble it completely, including the hotend, extruder, fans, and wiring.
