Introduction

Before you begin

Please read this and all steps thoroughly before proceeding with your build. SeeMeCNC has gone through extensive research, testing, and manufacturing of the highest quality workmanship in this field. Close tolerances and fitment are necessary to ensure the accuracy customers expect. Be extra careful when handling edges such as on the tower assemblies. Mishandling or misalignment can cause damage to wires that may be installed or routed improperly. Use caution when handling precision machined parts.

    • There are 3 towers for the Artemis. 1 of the towers has the extruder and hot end whip pre-installed. For this step you can choose either of the remaining 2 towers to be the Z tower.

    • Locate the Z Tower Wire pack. Remove the wires from the pack and straighten them out. Be careful not to lose any of the connectors from the pack.

    • The connectors shown will be in the top of the machine (the side with the stepper motors).

    • Please make sure you have the wires in the orientation shown.

  7. The first set of wires to feed in the Z Tower are the 18awg wires. These are the thicker wires from the Z Tower Wire Pack. Please ensure to have them oriented the correct way. You will feed from the bottom of the tower (opposite the stepper motor). Feed the following: 18awg white and green wire with ring terminal, 18awg black wire with straight spade terminal, 18awg wire with NO terminal. These wires can be fed by pushing small bits at a time. If you feel resistance, back the wires out about 25mm and then try pushing forward again.

    • Ensure you get the same number of wires exiting the end the end of the tower that you started feeding.

    • Now run the remaining wires. This is easiest using a piece of filament to pull wire.

    • Run the included mesh loom over the wires and secure with a zip tie. This is to secure the wires for later steps.

    • THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL STEP FOR FUTURE PROCEDURES. NO ACTION IS NEEDED FOR THIS STEP.

    • Please watch the video.

    • Make sure that the contact locks into the connector shell. The contact has a small metal tab. The tab will pop up into the slot on the face of the connector shell, locking the contact in place.

    • The wires of the motion stepper motors will install into Molex KK 4 pin connectors. These wires will install into the connectors similarly to how previous wires were installed into the KK connectors.

    • PIN 1 is indicated with a "1" on the connector. It is difficult to see if you are not looking at it closely, but it is there.

    • Blue wire: Pin 1

    • Red wire: Pin 2

    • Green wire: Pin 3

    • Black wire: Pin 4

  11. Please reference the wiring diagram in the image or click this link for the old version of wiring diagram if you have 2 orange wires: Whip Wiring.

  15. The X Tower will be the first tower to be installed. This tower is the one with the extruder and whip pre-installed. To begin, you will want to elevate the printer's upper assembly so it is up higher than the length of the rail. For our assembly we used the box that the upper assembly came in, or a workbench height table. If you have not done so at this point, you'll want to make sure you remove the 1/4-20 x 1" long button head screws, split ring washer, and flat washer from the end of the tower for the following steps. The same goes for all other towers as you get to them. Ensure that the end-stop legs are bent over at a 45 degree angle as shown in the picture. Check at all 3 tower locations in the upper assembly.

    • Ensure that the end-stop legs are bent over at a 45 degree angle as shown in the picture. Check at all 3 tower locations in the upper assembly.

    • You will want to grasp all the wires that are exiting the top of the X tower and push the bundle down in the relief that is cut into the T-Slot. Pushing down on the wires will help create a little memory in the wiring.

    • You will now want to feed the bundle of wires in through the opening in the side of the sheet metal enclosure.

    • Continued on next step...

  16. You will now lift the tower and slowly slide it into the upper assembly. The tower assembly will clear the limit switch. As you are sliding it into place you will need to ensure that the wires stay down in their relief, otherwise they will get pinched when tightening the plate. Make sure to look from the outside of the tower towards the center of the upper assembly and ensure that the wires are ALL in their relief. Secure the tower in place by reinstalling the 1/4-20 x 1" long button head screws, split ring washer, and flat washer stacked the same as you removed them.

    • You will now install the Z tower, similarly to how you installed the X tower. The Z tower is the one in which you previously ran wires down. Start by making sure the end-stop legs are folded over.

    • Begin by measuring the length of the wires that exit the Z tower. You will want to have 1 foot of wire exiting the tower at the bottom. Make the adjustment of the wires now.

    • As you did before, grasp all the wires at the top of the tower (the end with the stepper motor) fold them into the relief in the T-Slot and hold to give them some memory.

    • Feed the wires into the opening in the side of the upper assembly. This is the opening that is the opposite of the name badge (front of the printer).

    • Slide the tower into the opening as you did with the X tower.

    • Make sure to look from the outside of the tower towards the center of the upper assembly and ensure that the wires are ALL in their relief.

    • Attach the tower to the upper assembly using 2 each of the provided 1/4-20 x 1" long button head screws, split ring washer, and flat washer. Fully Tighten.

  18. Install the final tower. This is the Y tower. It will install the same as the previous two towers, with the exception that this tower has no wires installed so you will not have to worry about pinching any wires. After you have installed this tower, tighten fully.

So, read about it now so you can install it later, or came back later for the correct installation procedure. Plug in the power cable to printer.

    • Plug in the power cable to printer.

    • Turn the printer on.

    • The hot end should light up, as well as the status LEDs on the Duet board.

    • We will now move on to the initial connection and setup. NOTE: We will install the base & top cover when complete.

    • Go Here Next > Configuring Artemis

  49. You will now re-install the base cover. Before doing so, make sure all wires are secured and not going to interfere with its installation. If you find a loose wire, use a zip tie to secure it to a piece of T-Slot. Most Artemis 300s were shipped with Removable Plastic Rivets. These easily press in and secure the sheet metal enclosure (and are easily removable for future needs) Remember, if your sheet metal enclosure is secured with screws, DO NOT use power tools to tighten the cover screws!

  50. Most Artemis 300s were shipped with Removable Plastic Rivets. These easily press in and secure the sheet metal enclosure (and are easily removable for future needs) The top cover has a fan installed. This fan should be plugged into an ALWAYS ON FAN terminal on the DUET board. This is highlighted in the photo. After you have plugged in the fan, slide the cover down onto the top of the printer and secure with the 6 removable plastic rivets or tighten the 6 screws. Remember, NO POWER TOOLS!
