Changing SMPS- Extended.

Fractal Printers are designed with serviceability in mind. Changing SMPS in Julia Extended can be done with the help of a + Screw driver and 2.5mm Allen key (Allen Key is provided with the Accessory box). 

Steps to replace SMPS:
1. Switch off the machine and remove power cable.

2. Remove Back cover. Loosen the Allen bolts using 2.5 mm Allen key.
