Assembly Notes

  • 1:10 Both The M5x20 BHCS and M3x10 SHCS thread into plastic. They will be used to adjust the height of the Z Joints when the endstop and safety switch are triggered, respectively. Skip the glue until that calibration is done. Side A has no M3x10 SHCS safety switch position screw, so the Endstop Adjustment printed part looks a bit different on side A and B.
  • 2:40 If it’s tricky to slide the Z Joints into the extrusion with the roll-in nuts attached, just unscrew them and insert them into the extrusion first.
  • 2:43 This can be dialed in later when the Front Z Joints are attached to the rails.
