The LDO v3.2 kit comes with all basic tools for assembly, but does not come with the items
below. Some items may become optional if the kit provides them in the future.
We've estimated that Assembly will take around 10 hours (Minus printing the parts).
The LDO Assembly guide will walk you through the assembly of the printer:

After the printer has been assembled please update the configs before starting a test print or tuning. Positron Config Github
Please check the Known Issues on our Discord for notices for information on issues with the assembly process and potential fixes.
Commonly mentioned issues come from the Z drive and Extruder binding. Both of those use an LDO Orbiter drive but have printed parts for the main body and need careful attention to detail when assembling.
Let's be real, this printer is strange, so you will encounter some terminology that we use which may be confusing at first. Before we dive into the assembly guide, please preview the following terms;
These terms are pretty straight forward, when the printer is Deployed it is unfolded and ready to print.
When the printer is Folded it is ready for storage in a Filament box or the included Travel/Pelican Case.
We often refer to the “Back of the Bed” or “The Back Glass” as the side with the ITO coating. This is the side that faces UP when the printer is deployed.
The “Front of the Bed” is the printing surface, it is the side that faces DOWN when the printer is deployed.
