Throughout the manual, all socket screws will be tightened with an allen key 3, the allen key 5 will only be needed to install Brace Profiles.
PrintFrame without Brace Profiles
Lay all Pieces of the frame on the floor with the front side facing up for easier assembly of your PrintFrame.
The arrangement of all pieces may vary depending on your setup.
PrintFrame with Brace Profiles
Lay all Pieces of the frame on the floor with the front side facing up for easier assembly of your PrintFrame.
The arrangement of all pieces may vary depending on your setup.
If your frame consists of sections that require lengthwise connection, insert the Joint Plate halfway into the first profile and slightly tighten the first two socket screws.
Slide the second profile over the other half of the Joint Plate, make sure the keder slot is aligned, then tighten all socket screws. Repeat this for all Joint Plate connections.
Insert two Corner Connection sets into the first side of the frame.
Slide two other profiles over the Corner Connection sets, adjust the corners to a clean 90° angle and slightly tighten the socket screws.
Insert two Corner Connection sets into the last side of the frame.
Insert the last profile into the U-shape you assembled in the previous steps to complete the frame.
Adjust all corners to a clean 90° angle and align all keder slots.
Tighten all socket screws of the Corner Connection sets.
The following steps only apply to Single PrintFrame setups with Brace Profiles. If your setup does not include Brace Profiles, proceed to the chapter Inserting the Fabric.
If your Profile exceeds 6 m in length, the Brace Profile will have to be extended. Insert the Brace Joint Plates into the first Brace Profile and slightly tighten the set screws.
Slide the second Brace Profile over the Brace Joint Plates and tighten all set screws to fully secure the Brace Profiles together.
Insert the Brace Lock with the rounded side into both sides of the Brace Profile and align the hole of the Brace Profile and socket of the Brace Lock.
Insert the socket screw and tighten it until right before the Brace Lock starts to open up.
Insert the vertical Brace Profile into the Frame and position them in a 90° angle on the PrintFrame Profile.
Tighten the socket screws on both sides of the Brace Profile.
If there are horizontal Brace Profiles included, insert one end into the side of the frame and one end into the vertical Brace Profile, then tighten the socket screws hand-tight.
Tighten the socket screws on both ends of the Brace Profiles.
The amount and the distance for Brace Profiles will depend on your Single PrintFrame setup, but the distance between profiles should never exceed 2.20 m.
If your setup includes Acoustic Foam, insert it into the frame before you start inserting the fabric keder.
Insert the keder into the keder slot without the fabric on all sides of the frame.
By inserting the keder into the profile without the fabric, it helps to secure the fabric in place when folding the keder over in the next steps. This also ensures that for larger frames, the fabric remains as well-aligned as possible with the profile.
Begin in the middle of the longest side of the frame and fold the fabric over the keder. As you work towards the corners, periodically insert the keder into the slot.
At the corners, fold the excess fabric inward and insert the keder into the frame corners. Repeat this for both corners.
Repeat these steps for the opposite side of the frame. Start in the middle and end at the corners.
Fold the fabric over the keder, then insert it into the keder slot on both remaining sides.
Push any remaining bumps along the profile further into the keder slot to fully secure the fabric.
Wall plugs and hook screws are not included with the PrintFrame.
For suspending the PrintFrame, use hook screws that are at least 40-45 mm in length, with a diameter of 4 mm. These screws should be spaced no more than 2.20 meters apart on the mounting surface.
Provide leveled suspension points with wall plugs and hook screws. Make sure there is 19 mm space between the wall and the hook of the hook screw to place the profile.
Hang the frame onto the hook screws.
Your Single PrintFrame is now fully assembled!
