– Before connecting the top horizontal frame to the upright frame, insert M5 T-
nuts into slots of the upright Z-axis aluminum extrusions and the top horizontal
aluminum extrusion per list in Table 3 and Table 4. The information for X-axis
rails in Table 3 and rear aluminum extrusions in Table 4 will be needed in later
sections of this chapter. Notice that there is already one M5 T-nut in the rear side
of left-front and right-front aluminum extrusions, respectively, for the installation
of corner brackets.
