Gregs Maker Corner | Mellow VZBot 330 Build Series - Part 4 Final Wiring, CPAP, Heated Bed, Getting Up & Running @GregsMakerCorner | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 43 seconds ago.
WARNING: When dealing with AC/Mains power, consult with a licensed electrician, especially if you are not experienced. The power and voltage that we are working with on this printer is VERY DANGEROUS (AC/Mains at 110 or 220 depending on your country). ALWAYS double check voltage and wiring and work within your country/locales electronics rules and codes. While the wiring in my video works great for my setup USE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS.
This video picks up from Part 3 and shows the remaining wiring. I also walk through installing the heated bed which I save for late in the build (since it is quite heavy!). I show how to get the CPAP fan installed. After the wiring I cover a quick highlight of imaging the Pi, compiling firmware, installing KIAUH for klipper, and then plugging in my device ID into the printer.cfg file. I don't cover all this step by step because I assume you are probably familiar with this already if you are building a VzBot.
After you get your printer up and running and configured, spend the time calibrating the rotation distance, extrusion multiplier, syncing the motors.
After getting through the basics of the build, you can complete the panels, exhaust fan, RSCS cooling, and tophat. Installing all this is pretty simple.
The VzBot 330 kit was sponsored by Provok3d, one of the few US distributors of the Mellow VzBot 330 kit. I definitely recommend this kit, please consider buying one here. If you purchase, please mention Greg's Maker Corner sent you!
