b) Assembly of the housing parts
Before you install the metal housing to your RF500 Maker construction kit, the printer should be aligned straight and without any
tensions.
All screws in the aluminium profiles should also be tightened well. Once the housing is installed, you will be unable to reach the
screws anymore.
