Xol-metrix Assembly

This project assumes you know how to build the standard Xol Toolhead with this build assembly thrown into the mix.

Notes	Image
Remove the support material in orange. They should break away with ease.
Next drill out the 2 Flanged M2 Heatset Inserts with a 5/64 inch drill bit. Then use the #2 center drill bit to chamfer the top of one and the bottom of the other. ⚠⚠ Make sure you thuroghly clean the inserts of brass when done! ⚠⚠
Insert the Flanged M2 heatset with the top chamfer into the extruder_adapter_bottom.stl with the flang surface flush with the printed surface.
Insert the Flanged M2 heatset with the bottom chamfer into the extruder_adapter_top_(your_choice_here).stl with the flang surface flush with the printed surface.
Next insert the 3 M2x3.5x4 Heatsets into the 3 holes in the extruder_adapter_top_(your_choice_here).stl.
Screw the extruder_adapter_top_(your_choice_here).stl and extruder_adapter_bottom.stl together with M2x8 SHCS ⚠Do not over tighten!⚠
Clean the inside of the filament path with a 5/64 inch drill bit it may have some ooze from istalling the Heatset inserts.
Place the 5.5mm Ball Bearing in the hole on top of the extruder adapter.
Put the Omron D2F (with no lever) into slot with clicker behind the Ball Bearing, secure with M2x10 Self Tapping Screws.
Insert one M2.5x3.5x4 Heatset into the hotend mount (rest of hotend heatsets are not explained refer to Xol 2 Docs).
Install extruder adapter onto the HE Mount of your choice and install on your carriage of choice. (Tap option shown in picture)
Select the Blades of your choice #4 (Yellow) or OLFA KB4-F/5 (Green).
Use the Blade Jig that coresponds with your blade of choice #4 / OLFA and clamp the blade in it with the blade sticking in. Final length should be ~20mm.
Use the blade_install_tool.stl to install the blade. ⚠⚠ Take extra precaution as the blades do not care and will go through your skin with no remorse and then the red sauce comes out! ⚠⚠
Insure that the blade is squared up with the [b]_blade_holder_(your_choice_here).stl. The hole on top is big enough for an M3 Grub Screw or you can glue the blade in.
Slide the Blade Holder into the Extruder adapter carefully aligning the blade into the slot.
Install the Spring into the slot on the [a]_cutter_arm.stl.
Slide the cutter arm into the slot on the Hotend Frame partially Do not kink the spring.
Use a small slim screwdriver of sorts to persuade the spring into the recess in the extruder mount while sliding the arm into its final position.
Install the 2 M2.5x15 SHCS into the frame and blade holder to finish up the cutter install.
If using XolPAP Install the M2.5x15 SHCS on the back side of the arm shown here. (Thanks to scheini79 for the suggestion!)
After all this the rest of the Xol Toolhead will go together the same as the standard one.
