DELACK for A1 Mini Assembly Guide

#4 - LED Assembly

 


ASSEMBLY VIDEO

This video is based on a previous design where mounting the rear mount to the top plexiglass was not part of the design (Step 12) - we now recommend using the top mounting technique since it allows you to remove the top panel WITH the LED Light. The other techniques shared in the video are still useful if you are having issues with assembly. The main assembly video also goes through the LED assembly at a faster pace.

Step #1: Print Off Plates #11 - #14

From the print files, make sure you have the following prints completed:

11 - LED LIGHT 1

12 - LED LIGHT 2

13 - LED LIGHT 3

14 - LED LIGHT 4

 

Step #2: Insert the LED Light Strip into the Rear LED Mount

running LED light through the DELACK printed part

Place the cable attached to the LED strip into the cable channel (1) as you begin to rotate the switch into position (2).; as you rotate the switch into place, make sure that the cable coming out of the enclosure is going i the bottom cable channel (3)

positioning switch inside the printed parts of the delack enclosure

Once the cables are in position, push this side all the way into place - you may need to gently pull on the cables entering and exiting the part to get it perfectly into position

Now, the LED switch should be fully installed

Step #3: Layout the Smaller LED Insert Parts

Layout the parts as shown below

Step #4: Layout the LED Parts

Place the LED Light with Rear Mount onto into place and feed the LED Light Strip through the channel (following the path of the arrows)

Step #5: Add LED Cover Parts

Add the LED Cover pieces shown below - there are slots that must align to fit properly

Step #6: Add the Remaining LED Cover Parts

Place the remaining covers into position

Step #7: Add the Remaining LED Cover Parts

Insert the 2 nuts into the slots - make sure they are pushed all the way to the bottom of the hole

Step #8: Add Nuts to the Rear Mounting Piece (OPTIONAL)

If you would like to anchor your LED Enclosure to the back wall of the enclosure, add 2 nuts to the back piece as shown***This will require you to remove these bolts prior to removing the top which reduces accessibility. We generally recommend skipping this step unless you are confident that you will not need to remove the top of the enclosure.***

Step #9: Add the Top Plexiglass

Place the top plexiglass piece beneath the LED light and align the holes

Step #10: Slide to Edge of Table

Carefully slide the plexiglass to the edge of the table so that you can attach the LED Light - you may want to temporarily add something heavy like a spare filament roll to the end still on the table

Step #11: Slide to Edge of Table

Using the Hole Filler pieces and a bolt, attach the LED Light to the top plexiglass pieceStep #12: Add the Top Bolt

Carefully flip the plexiglass and LED light over and add the top bolt - this step is not shown in the video as this is a newer design, but we recommend using this method rather than mounting via the 2 back bolts so that the LED Light can easily be removed WITH the top panel

THIS IS A SELF-THREADING BOLT, SO YOU WILL NEED TO USE SOME FORCE TO GET THE THREAD STARTED

Done!
