Building a Jubilee tool changer platform can be broken down into the following high-level discrete stages:

Building the frame and tool-changer mechanism
Connecting the electronics
Tuning the build for its target application
Building and connecting the tools

The instructions for one Jubilee frame are broken down below.

For assembly instructions and wiring diagrams related to tools, see the page for that particular tool from the Tools page.

Hardware

For the mechanical assembly, all subassemblies are detailed with step-by-step visual instructions.

Pre-requisite Knowledge

Working with Heat-Set Inserts via the Plate Press Technique
Working with Inside Corner Brackets
How to use an Arbor Press
Tip: print this Fastener Reference Sheet at 100% scale for an easy sanity check.
How to crimp Molex Connectors

Frame Assembly Instructions

The instructions must be completed sequentially from Section 1 to Section 3. Instructions in the same section don’t depend on each other, so they can be done at the same time with a friend.

Part Prep

Before assembling the frame:

Heat Set Insert Installation
Inside Corner Bracket Prep

Section I

Outer Frame Assembly and Alignment
Aluminum Motor Plate Assembly
Double Pulley Corner Plate Assembly
Aluminum Crossbar Assembly
Toolchanger Remote Elastic Lock Assembly
Toolchanger Carriage Assembly
Magnetic Build Plate Assembly
Duet2 Electronics Panel Assembly
Coming Soon: Side Panel Assembly

Some instructions relate to older versions of the design. They are:

Section 2

Lower Frame Assembly
CoreXY Frame Assembly

Additionally, video Links to the CoreXY assembly are provided below:

Section 3

Z Axis Assembly

Electronics

Pre-Requisite Knowledge

Crimping Wires

Wiring Diagrams

All wires needed for the frame are called out in the corresponding wiring diagrams. Important Note: XY motors and ZZZ motors have different pinouts, which means their wires will have a different color coding. This color coding is respected in the diagram, but it is easy to mix up the included cables in real life. Do keep motors and the wires they came with together as a pair. Do not mix motor cables.

Duet3 Wiring

This wiring configuration matches the existing config files for the corresponding control board.

Supported Control Boards

Currently, only the Duet2 in conjunction with the Duex5 Expansion board is fully supported. To get a sense of the firmware requirements needed for porting Jubilee to other control boards, see the page on Adding Control Boards.

First Power-Up

Pre-Flight Checks

Tuning

Depending on your machine's target application, you may need to do some additional tuning.

Tuning Before Your First 3D Print

Tuning Before Multicolor Drawing
