Bed Plate 329x329x6mm

Flip the bed upside down (no countersink bores should be visible).

M4x6 Cap Head Screw

Install the screw in the fourth hole, counting from the left.

This screw will be later used to ground the bed assembly.

Set Screw M4x16 - Dog Point

Thread the set screw on the bed from the bottom, with the Dog Point downwards.

Thread an M4 Locking nut on the set screw and tighten it.

The pin thread shouldn't be visible from the top of the bed plate

Repeat the previous steps and assemble another set screw + Locking M4 nut in the first hole counting from the right (as shown)

Flip the bed arround.

M5x25 Countersink Screw

Insert the screw in the Bed, from the top.

Insert two aluminium Spacer 6mm on the screw from the bottom.

Threaded steel ball

Thread the steel ball to the M5x25 screw.

Repeat the previous steps for each of the positions shown on the bed.

Rotate the lead screws by hand, to lower the Z arms 10-20mm, enough for the bed to be installed without hitting the gantry.

Insert the bed in the V-Core 4 frame

Carefully align the steel balls with the POM inserts

Click the Steel balls into the POM inserts on the V-Core bed arms, by pushing down on the bed assembly.

We hope you have tons of filament prepared, your V-Core 4 is anxious to start melting!
