Introduction

This guide covers the assembly of the EVA 3.0 print head. Whilst EVA 3.0 supports multiple combinations of extruder, hot end, and cooling, this guide focuses on the components supplied in the default V-Core 3.1 kit:

  • Bondtech LGX Lite extruder
  • Phaetus Rapido HF hot end
  • 4028 part cooling fan
  • Rat Rig “SuperPinda” Probe by P&F

Information regarding other component combinations can be found on the EVA website

  3. EVA3 universal_front Printed Part Hex Nut - M3 Install an M3 hex nut into each position shown, there should be four on the left and two in the top

    • EVA3 universal_front Printed Part

    • Hex Nut - M3

    • Install an M3 hex nut into each position shown, there should be four on the left and two in the top

    Edit

    Be VERY carefull with this part; I got the printed parts set and some tolerances are too lose (nuts keep dropping out and one is just shredding plastic as it turns around freely) and others were so tight the screw went in instead of pulling the nut in. Make sure to place the part flat down when you have to insert nuts so they can't rotate/tilt and get stuck. The safest way to get them straight in is to use a bolt to pull them in, otherwise you risk threading the bolts in wrong and then you are screwed.

  15. Assembly from Step 2 Place the EVA3 top assembly atop the MGN12 carriage as shown Make sure the holes on the side of the printed part face towards the left of the x-axis

    • Assembly from Step 2

    • Place the EVA3 top assembly atop the MGN12 carriage as shown

    • Make sure the holes on the side of the printed part face towards the left of the x-axis

    • M3x8 Cap Head Screw

    • Fasten all four M3x8 screws to secure the EVA3 top assembly to the MGN12 carriage

    • Slide the X-axis left and right along the rail to make sure it moves smoothly

    • If the carriage binds at all, slightly loosen the M3x8 screws and check again

    Edit

  16. EVA3 back assembly from Step 6 Position the EVA3 back assembly as shown M3x35 Cap Head Screw

    • EVA3 back assembly from Step 6

    • Position the EVA3 back assembly as shown

    • M3x35 Cap Head Screw

    • Insert the M3x35 screws through the EVA3 back assembly and into the MGN12 mount as shown

    Edit

  17. EVA3 front assembly from Step 5 Position the EVA3 front assembly as shown Tighten the M3x35 screws to secure the EVA3 front assembly to the x-axis carriage

    • EVA3 front assembly from Step 5

    • Position the EVA3 front assembly as shown

    • Tighten the M3x35 screws to secure the EVA3 front assembly to the x-axis carriage

    • Take care not to over tighten the M3 screws as you can damage the printed parts

    • Take the end of the lower CoreXY belt and pass it through the side of the EVA3 front as shown

    • Pass the belt back out using the shown slot

    • Repeat these steps for the top CoreXY belt

    • The ends of both of these belts will be secured in Step 19

    Edit

    I suggest to fix the belts in the opposite order: first install them in the belt grabbers (Step 21 & 22) and attach them loosely to the EVA3 back part.

    After you have done that, attach them to the EVA3 front part as shown in Step 17.

    This way you don't need to cut the belts at this point. You can instead leave them hanging from the EVA3 front part until you are sure how much tension to apply and then cut them off.

    It is unclear with side the teeth of belt must be

    OnoKu - Reply

    If you follow the guide step by step, the belts are already in the correct orientation after installing the Left and Right Motors. For reference, the teeth of the belt face outward (towards the printed face_belt_grabber).

  21. Loose end of the lower CoreXY belt Mark the belt where it meets the EVA3 assembly. This can be with a marker, or simply by holding it. From the mark, towards the loose end of the belt, measure 24mm (or count 12 teeth)

    • Loose end of the lower CoreXY belt

    • Mark the belt where it meets the EVA3 assembly. This can be with a marker, or simply by holding it.

    • From the mark, towards the loose end of the belt, measure 24mm (or count 12 teeth)

    • It is better to cut the belt too long than too short! If you are unsure, cut it longer than expected, you can always remove more if needed

    • Double check your measurements and then cut the belt at this point

    • Insert the cut end of the belt into the core_xy_belt_grabber printed part

    • Insert an M5 nylon locking nut into the core_xy_belt_grabber as shown

    • Insert the core_xy_belt_grabber assembly into the EVA3 assembly as shown

    Edit

    I suggest doint this in the opposite order (see my comment for Step 17)

    Marcel - Reply

    I disagree with this, don't leave your belts any longer! I did so, thinking it would be easily adjusted afterwards, but if the belt grabber reaches the end of the EVA3 assembly during tensioning it will get very stuck (as in the belt ripped out and it still didn't budge stuck). Prevent this by cutting the belts short enough beforehand.

  24. M5x40 Cap Head Screw Insert the M5x40 screw into the marked hole on the EVA3 assembly and fasten it slightly to engage with the M5 nylon locking nut

    • M5x40 Cap Head Screw

    • Insert the M5x40 screw into the marked hole on the EVA3 assembly and fasten it slightly to engage with the M5 nylon locking nut

    • The M5x40mm screws are used to tighten the CoreXY belts

    • Tighten each M5x40 screw one-half turn at a time to tension the belts equally

    • Continue tightening the screws until the belts are no longer slack

    • Check that the X-axis gantry is square by moving it to the front of the machine. If it has skewed, it can be squared by adjusting the tension of one belt at a time

    • Make sure not to over-tension the belts as this can cause damage to the bearings, the belt, the motors or printed parts!

    • An excellent article on correct CoreXY belt tensioning is available on Mark Rehorst's website

    Here's an article about which side of the fan is the intake side: https://www.pcworld.com/article/394576/h...

    Money quote from it: "If the fan blades look rounded—that is, they’re curving away from you—that’s the intake side. (For the more technical out there: The convex side of the fan blades is the intake side.)

    "If the fan blades look like the inside of a dish or bowl—that is, they’re curving toward you—that’s the exhaust side. (In other words, the concave side is where air exhausts.) Oftentimes, the exhaust side also has the crosshatch supports for the fan’s frame, with a circular sticker in the center that lists brand and model information."

    generally, Fan cable should be up to the right ( from machine front) so that it points in direction of cable guide

    Donald Fast - Reply

    Fan should be blowing onto the hot end. If you are lucky your fan will have an arrow showing airflow direction ( usually black print on edge of fan. If not guess with label out — if it is wrong, you can reverse the fan mount later

    This guide has a TON of errors, and the step order does not work. 1) the block that attached to the linear rail mount must be completed immediately after assembly of the part, and 2) the parts need to immediately be mounted on the printer instead of being set aside. If you set the parts aside and mount them in the order stated, you won't be able to mount anything.

    Also, I am using an LGX with a Mosquito Magnum, and this does not work for anything but the LGX Lite w/ Rapido. It will take several hours going back and forth between this manual and the EVA documents in order to get this working. Many of the screws called out are the wrong size as well, so you might need to find other parts. The screws called out to attach the shroud are like 5mm to short.
