Installation Steps
1、Embed Heat-Set Inserts
Insert the two M2.5x8 heat-set inserts into the pre-drilled holes on both sides of the case.
Using a soldering iron, embed the inserts into the case making sure that they are flush with the mounting surface. (For instructions on how to embed heat-set inserts using a soldering iron, refer to the end of this guide.)
2、Install the Panda Hub
Place the Panda Hub inside the case.
Place on the top cover and secure it using the M2.5x8 screw and a 2.0mm screwdriver.
Connect the Assembled Panda Hub to the Printer.
Remove the screen and unscrew the screws located below the screen using a 2.0mm hex screwdriver.

Secure the Panda Hub to the printer using M2.5x8 screw and a 2.0mm hex screwdriver.
Reattach the screen to complete the installation.
Connect the Panda Touch USB Cable or USB Light Strip to the Panda Hub.
How to Embed Heat-Set Inserts Using a Soldering Iron
Prepare the 3D printed part that needs to have the heat-set insert embedded.
Place the heat-set insert on top of the 3D printed part, aligned with the cavity designed for it.
Heat the soldering iron and apply gentle pressure. Ensure you push in a direction perpendicular to the surface where the insert will go.
Allow the heat-set insert to slowly melt into the part. Be patient; the slower the insert melts in, the stronger the bond between the metal and plastic will be.
Once the top of the insert is flush with the part, pull the iron back out and let it cool down.
Finished!
Important Notes:
Use caution when handling a heated soldering iron to avoid burns. Perform the melting process slowly for optimal results.
