Assembly Guide
Once all of your parts are printed and cleaned up, you're ready to start putting the light together.
Keep the power supply disconnected throughout assembly. Connect power only when instructed in Power-On & Test.
Before you start
Remove all support material and clean up the printed parts.
Gather the required tools and supplies.
Leave the small hardware in its labeled bags until you need it. It's much easier to keep track of that way.
Decide whether you're building the freestanding or clamping base.
✨I put together an OTL playlist with some of the music I listened to while working on the Open Task Light. Listen while you build if you want.✨
Assembly order
Prepare the rails - Remove the power tracks and separate the rails.
Assemble the horizontal rail - Add the LED, cooling parts, and electronics housing, then reinstall the horizontal power track.
Assemble your base - Choose the freestanding or clamping version.
Assemble the carriage and counterweight - Build both parts and connect them with the belt.
Complete final assembly - Join the rails and install the moving parts.
Power on and test - Give everything one last inspection, then connect power and test the light.
