spacers with the shaft in the top of the coupler.  Secure the 
Z motor with (4) M4x16 machine screws going first through 
the motor, through the spacers, and into the Z motor 
mount. 

 

 

 

 

Using a 2mm hex key, tighten the bottom screw of the 
coupler.  This will connect the coupler to the lead screw.  
Make sure the lead screw is fully engaged with UHMW 
screw seat and apply light downward pressure.  Tighten the 
top screw on the coupler.  This will attach the coupler to 
the motor shaft.  

 

 

 

Locate the X/Y motor mount and lower the Z Plate to 
expose the two holes near the center top of the X Plate.  
Place a M4 split lock washer on (2) M4x12 machine screws.  
Insert the screws through the front of the X Plate and 
attach the X/Y motor mount to the back of the X Plate.
