613mm Extrusion  

(1) 600mm Lead Screw 

 

Hardware 

(8) #10x1 Self-tapping Screws 

 

Tools 

Phillips Screwdriver 

1.5mm Hex Key 

2.5mm Hex Key 

8mm or 5/16

 Wrench or Socket 

WD40 or Other Lubricant 

 

Run the 613mm extrusions through the v-wheels on 
the X Plate Extrusion.  The extrusion with the 
MillRight sticker will go up top.  Make sure the 
extrusions are oriented as pictured.  If the wheels are 
too tight, use the 10mm wrench to turn the eccentric 
spacers until the extrusions fit.  Once the extrusion is 
in, turn the eccentric spacers until the wheels are 
making good contact with the extrusion. 

 

Tighten the v-wheels making sure not to turn the 
eccentric spacers.  Turn the XZ Assembly over and 
move it to the end of the extrusions with the sticker.
