Assembly Instructions

1. Attach the Base and Arm:

2. Temporarily Attach the Base:

   • Attach the base to the V-slot on top of the ELEGOO Neptune 4 Plus using M3 T-nuts, M3 bolts, and M3 washers (8mm outer diameter).
     
   • Leave the connection loose for now to allow for adjustments later.
     

3. Attach the Arm with the Clamp:

   • Use the clamps to secure the arms to the printer's vertical poles. Loosely fasten the clamps using 2 M3 nuts and bolts for each side.
     

4. Temporarily Place the Shelf Board:

   • Lightly place the shelf board on the arms to align its position. Once aligned, tighten the arms fully.
     

5. Secure the Bases:

   • Remove the shelf board and tighten the bases fully to the V-slot.
     

6. Install the Spool Holder or Filament Sensor Extender (Optional):

   • For the stock spool holder: Attach the Spool Holder Extender to the base using 2 M4 bolts.
     
   • For third-party spools: Attach the Filament Sensor Extender to the base, and mount the filament sensor onto the extender.
     

7. Attach the Shelf Board:

   • Finally, place and secure the shelf board on the arms. Your setup is now complete!
     

Important Notes

• Load Capacity: The load capacity depends on the material and infill settings of the printed parts as well as the shelf board material. Ensure sufficient strength for heavy items.
  
• Prevent Falls: Make sure items on the shelf are securely placed to avoid accidental falls.
