STEP 19 The tilt motor assembly
Before we install the assembly into the printer, let's find the correct mounting spot.
There is a groove in the printer's bottom plate.
Insert two M4x8 screws in the tilt motor holder, which will be used to secure it to
the bottom plate.
Make sure the pins are facing to the left side of the printer (see the arrow), this will
ensure correct orientation.
Place the entire assembly in the printer and make sure it is aligned with the groove.
Then tighten both M4x8 screws.
Connect the cable to the sensor, ensure you aren't using the side with the yellow
marker. In the beginning, while connecting the cable the connector has to be
slightly inclined.
Before you leave to the next step, make sure the connector is all the way in.
STEP 20 Preparing the reflector
For the following steps, please prepare:
Reflector (1x)
M4x5 screw (2x)
Inside the reflector, there is a protective film, don't peel it off for now! Wait for
the last chapter.
