DropLit Assembly Guide
Installing the T-Slot Extrusion
Now we're going to install the aluminum T-Slot extrusion into the core of the DropLit. You'll
need the following components for this task:
If you installed the Bottom T-Slot Mounts from the prior step, pull them from the chassis as
we'll be adding nuts & screws to them shortly.
The aluminum extrusion will have an M5 threaded rod in the center of it – remove the tape from
the ends of the extrusion and slide the M5 rod out of the center and set it aside. Take care to not bend
it!
We'll start with getting the T-Slot mount parts ready – install four nuts into the T-Slot Mount as
shown below.
Next, install a T-Slot Nut & ¼-20 Button Head Cap
Screw into the bottom and upper T-Slot Mounts as shown.
