Before You Begin Assembly
As you work your way through the assembly
guide you will be instructed to layout, place,
or position components in a specific location
or direction, such as:
up, down, left, right,
front, back, rear, inside, outside, under, over,
etc. For example, “drag ch
ain support
brackets are attached to the
BACK
of the X-
rail,” or “the controller unit is mounted to
the
OUTSIDE
and to the
REAR
of the Y1-
rail.”
To help avoid confusion, all such references
are given from the perspective of one
standing in front of, and looking at, the
machine as shown in
Figure 1-13
. As much as
possible the words “left” and “right” are
replaced with “Y1” and “Y2” respectively—
in
reference to the Y-Axis LEFT extrusion rail
(Y1) and the Y-Axis RIGHT extrusion rail (Y2).
Take a minute to familiarize yourself with this
view of the machine.
In addition to adopting a front view
perspective, it is very helpful to familiarize
yourself with the machine’s directional axes:
the X-Axis moves left and right, the Y-Axis
moves front and back, and the Z-Axis moves
up and down. See
Figure 1-14
.
