ABOUT MONOPRICE SELECT MINI INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION GENERAL
+Fitted Monoprice select Mini Bed Mount, Use existing holes as pilot holes for bed mount.
+Three holes need to be drilled into the back of the cabinet below the bed.
+Open bottom of printer using proper sized philips (star) Screwdriver.
+Reposition wires to prevent wire damage during drilling.
+Use step drill to prevent sudden drill penetration.
+Fit these holes AFTER BED MOUNT and CHAIN configuration.
+If you are doing this repair on a new printer and are just adding wire you can appropriate
heat shrink tubing without the use of solder and still have satisfactory results.
+Glue type tube of 3:1 ratio preferred.
Wires sized appropriately similar will not get very hot in use.
CHOICE OF REPAIR SOLUTION
Install a new heated bed power source and relay or solder equivalent longer wires to the bed or use the existing wires. This is a reasonable route for the wires.
Existing wires connector clips should fit through the chain although if you chose to solder in a few more inches of wire it allows for easy cable threading.
BED MOUNT
+Remove the bed to install the Bed mount.
+Drill the four small holes on back of bed with a clearance hole for your smallest nut and
bolts set of four that's at least 3/8" in length.
PRINTING 'ROOF' OF CLAW
+A Bic hex type ball-point pen can be dropped into the claw chain print as the crest of the
side walls begins to show.
The pen is a good size to support the first layer of the top of the chain.
DO NOT use Skirt or Brim or support as these will mess up the chain. All layer height
setting have worked well on this print.
