Step 1: Lower Bed and Power Off Machine

Using the front screen navigate to actions > move and press Z- to lower the bed to Z150.

You can then shut the machine off by going to config > system > shutdown > printer. Move the power switch at the back of the machine to the off position.

Step 2: Remove Bed Fastener

Using a 4mm hex and 10mm socket remove the three M6x75mm countersunk screws holding down the bed. Set this hardware in a safe place as we will be reusing them.

Step 4: Replace Bed

Now that the old bed is free, you can proceed to swap it out with the new one. Take note of the 3 locating features on the ALCA5 plate. There is a slot, point, and planar surface that should mate with the corresponding ball point set screws on the spider plate.
