4.5 Y Endcap and Pre-threading
1. Identify the Y Endcap
#46
and locate the two remaining
the M4×8 Torx Tapping Screws
#24
.
2. Position the endcap on the “back” end of the Y Rail,
which is the end with the Tensioning Block. Align its two
holes with the matching holes in the end of the Y Rail,
and its outline to the shape of the Y Rail.
3. Use the Torx L-wrench,
#2
, to fasten the endcap into
place with the two M4×8 Torx Tapping Screws. It may
be easiest to hold the hold the Y Rail vertically while do-
ing so. As you tighten it into place, keep its edges lined
up with the sides of the Y Rail (
A
).
4. Locate the two remaining M4×12 Torx Tapping Screws,
#17
. Using the Torx L-wrench, thread the two screws
into the further-apart (lower) pair of holes on the open
end of the Y Rail. Then, fully remove the two screws –
we will need them later. Again, you may find it easiest
to hold the Y Rail vertically during this process.

This operation adds threads to these holes, which
will make a subsequent step much easier.
