Assemble the Gantry
In this step, we’ll be connecting the Y1
- and Y2-rails to
their respective carriages, and then to the baseframe.
Pay very close attention to the positioning of the two rails
in
Figure 4-4
. Proper identification of the Y-rails is crucial.
The Y1-rail will be installed on the left, the Y2-rail on the
right.
Positioning the X-Rail
1.
Position the X-rail with attached carriages
diagonally across the baseframe. See
Figure 4-6
.

PRO TIP:
Test fit the Y1- and Y2-rails between
the endplates. If the fit is too tight, loosen the
twelve (12) screws holding the MDF baseplates to
the endplate
s to give you more room to “tilt” the
endplates apart. See
Figure 4-5
.
