Introduction
The Bondtech Raise3D DualDirect and SingleDirect extruder, which is developed by
Bondtech, is the simplest way to increase the performance of your Raise3D
N1/N2/N2+ machine in a matter of minutes. This new revolution in design utilizes the

Raise3D DualDirect and Raise3D SingleDirect
This guide shows the uninstallation of the original extruder (page 3-6)
And the installation on the DualDirect extruder (page 7-13) and SingleDirect extruder
(page 14-18).
• Start by unloading the filament
from your printer.
After the filament is removed,
power off the printer.
● Start with uninstallation of the
original extruder. Note that the
two connectors are yellow and
white in this case, but the colors
may vary.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 4
● Use a pliers to remove the hot
glue that secures the connector
during transportation.
• Mark the cable connecting to the
motor to the left feeder with “L”
and the cable to the motor to the
right feeder with “R”, so they
don’t get mixed up.
• Disconnect both cables from the
motors.
• Remove the 2 screws from the
right and the left side with a
2,5mm hex wrench.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 5
• Remove the 2 rear screws using
a 2,5mm hex wrench.
• Unscrew the 2 screws holding the
cable chain, with a 2mm hex
wrench.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 6
• Remove the 2 screws
(3mm hex wrench) holding
the breakout board.
• Remove the original
extruder by pulling it
straight up.
• The removal of the original
extruder is now done!

Raise3D N2 DualDirect
• DualDirect and
SingleDirect have
separate installations
guide. Go to page 14 for
the SingleDirect guide.
Following chapter is the
installation guide for
Raise3D DualDirect.
• There are currently 2
versions of the printhead
carrier existing, you need
to identify what version
your printer has.
• The shims are marked
with the appropriate
revision.
• Place the correct shim on
the rear mount.
• Firmly press down the
DualDirect extruder.
Support the printhead from
underneath to avoid
deflection of the linear
shafts.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 8
• Like this.
• Install the left and right old
screws (2,5mm hex
wrench). Don’t tighten the
screws fully.
• Install the 2 rear old
screws (2,5mm hex
wrench). Do not tighten
the screws fully.
Re-tighten the screws in
turns afterwards, (both the
previous on the sides and
the rear ones) carefully to
prevent that the material
crack, DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!.
• Cut existing cable ties to
make it possible to rearrange the cables.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 9
• Remove the supplied 1x
M2,5 screw.
• Place the breakout board
into the new holder.

Note that the bottom screw
is M2,5 and the upper one
M3.
• Done!
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 10
• Install the cable chain, use
the old screws (2mm hex
wrench).
• If you have the Raise3D
machine with SILVER
MOTORS, use the
supplied adapter to
connect the motors and
follow the guide below.
Scroll down 4 pictures to
find the guide for the
BLACK MOTORS.
SILVER MOTOR
• Connect the cable marked
with “L” to the front motor.
Use the adapter that has
wires reversed, “L”.
• Connect the cable marked
with “R” to the rear motor.
Use the adapter that has
straight wires, “R”.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 11
• Arrange the cables nicely
and use cable tie to secure
them on the top. Cut of the
end.
You are done with the
installation!
BLACK MOTOR
• If you have the black
motors you will have to
change position of the two
outermost wires in the “R”
connector to change the
rotation direction. Note
that it’s only the rear motor
connector.
• To reverse two cables, you
can use a sharp tool to lift
the little plastic tab on the
connector and gently pull
the crimping contact out of
the housing with your
fingers.
• Like this!
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 12
• Do the same with the one
next to the first cable.
• Change positions of those
two cables by pushing it
back into place. Reverse
position 1 and 3.
• Arrange the cables nicely
and use cable tie to secure
them.
• Do the same on the
bottom and cut of the
ends.

Software Configuration
Changing the E-step value
The E-step value tells the controller how many steps (micro steps) that needs to be
sent to feed 1mm filament. The Raise3D E-step value needs to be updated to
achieve the correct extrusion volume. The reason for this is that the Bondtech Dual
Drive system has a different drive gear diameter and a gearing ratio. The increased
E step value means that the extruder will feed the material with higher precision. This
guide will show how the E-step value can be adjusted directly on the printer.
● The E-step value can easily be
changed on the touch panel
home screen. Click on Utilities.
• Click on the gear for settings in
the top right corner of the display.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 20
• Click on More settings.
• Click on Hardware.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 21
• Click on Step per unit.
• Click on E steps per unit.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 22
● Set the E step unit to 415.
• Double check that the new value
has been changed to 415.
Done!
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 23
Electronic Configuration
Adjustment of the stepper driver current
The stepper driver needs to be adjusted due to that we have changed the previous
motor to a smaller one that requires lower current. There is a risk that the motor
getting overheated and damagaged If we don’t do the adjustment.
• You need:
- A Multimeter
- A Sharp tool
• The electronic box is on the left
side of the printer.
• Depending on which cover your
machine has, either use a sharp
tool or a hex wrench to take the
cover of.
• Tip! Grind the tip on the probe to
make it easier to do the
adjustment. Shape the tip like a
small flat screw driver.
Installation manual Bondtech Raise3D V2.0 24
• Touch the red probe to the
potentiometer on the stepper
driver in the top to the left.
Touch the black probe to the
lower screw of the green
terminal.
Now you can see the Vref voltage
of the driver.
• Turn the potentiometer carefully
until you reach the value of
0,5V(500mV), clockwise
increase, counter-clockwise
decrease.
• Repeat this for both
stepperdrivers for the extruders
(if you have a dual printer)
