Swapper3D™ Instructions
Label the servos
Label the servos
Instructions:
There are 3 kinds of servos in the kit 180, 360, and micro.
Here are the labels with the type of servo:
- TR (Tool Rotate, C360A)
- TH (Tool Height, C180A)
- TL (Tool Lock, Micro)
- QL (QuicSwap-Lock, C180A)
- HR (Tool Holder Rotate, C360A)
- CR (Cutter Rotate, C180A)
- CA (Cutter Action, C180A)
- WA (Waste Bin Action, Micro) (For Palette users only!)
Connect servos to servo shield
Instructions:
Plug each servo into the servo shield, starting from the right-most port and moving to the left.
The Ground wire (black) goes on the pin closest to the bottom edge of the servo shield.
- TR (Port: 15)
- TH (Port: 14)
- TL (Port: 13)
- QL (Port: 12)
- HR (Port: 11)
- CR (Port: 10)
- CA (Port: 9)
- WA (Port: 8)(For Palette users only!)
Connect wire for check button to arduino
Instructions:
Use the 2 leftmost pins, ground (unlabelled) and 13. It doesn’t matter what color goes in which side. (Later on you will attach the other end of this wire to a switch.)

Attach bezel to servo shield
Instructions:
Make sure all the pins are inserted from the LCD to the servo shield.
Gently tighten the 2 screws to secure the bezel.
The bezel is annoying to install. We updated the arduino bracket so that you can attached the LCD bezel with the arduino bracket detached from the printer, then attached the arduino bracket to the printer. That should make it easier.
Plug in USB
Instructions:
Use a standard USB A to B printer cable.
Plug one end into the Swapper3D and the other into the computer running Octoprint.
Load setup firmware on arduino
Instructions:
Get the latest HEX file release of the setup firmware from our github repository
Use Xloader, select the port (find the port in device manager)
Power on the printer, the swapper and servos should power too

WA (Waste Bin Action, Micro) is optional for the Palette. Searched for the second micro servo all day until I noticed the Palette servo in the packing list.
Added note to WA step. Thanks!
