Flip the bed back over so the Y Axis Assembly is upside
down. Using your hammer, tap the T-nuts into the 16
holes labelled “A” in the above diagram.
Now find the Y Axis Belt Anchor Plate. Slide an M6 washer onto an M6x25 screw then put the
bolt through the plate in the orientation shown below. If you were looking down at the plate
in this orientation, you should see the bolt heads. In this orientation, the M6 screw needs to
go through an M6 flat washer, through the plate, then through a split-lock washer, then
secured with an M6 nut. Get a final tighten on the nuts now. These don’t screw to anything
else, they just serve as studs to anchor the belt.
Put the Y Belt Anchor Plate against the bed so the heads of
the M6 bolts are laying inside the holes marked “D” in the
center of the above picture. Line up the holes on the
corners of the Y Belt Anchor Plate with the holes marked
“B” that form a square around the holes marked “D.” Slide
an M5 washer onto a 5/8” wood screw, then screw it into
the bed in order to secure the Anchor Plate to the bed. DO
NOT OVER-TORQUE THESE OR THE SCREW WILL RIP THE
HOLE OUT. Pick one corner to start, and leave the screw
a little loose. Line up the hole on the opposite corner,
then screw it in. Put a final torque on the four wood
screws once you have them all in. A contributor to this
kit’s development has suggested inserting the s
crew
fully, pulling it out, putting a couple drops of
superglue (not included) in the hole, and
immediately rethreading the screw in the
hole. This is intended to prevent the screws
from vibrating loose over time.
You will now install the Bed onto the Y Axis
Assembly. Orient the bed so that it holes are
facing up, like in the diagram above. The holes
designated as “C” above are recesses for the
bolt heads of the V Wheel Kit bolts that are
on the Y Axis Bearing plate. Flip the Y Axis
