1. Follow the Shapeoko assembly instructions until you get to the part
where controller is added. There are a few differences, for instance
the motors in this kit have equal length wires, but nothing too
significant. Use the parts list from downloaded from the “Required
Materials” section above rather than the list from the assembly guide.
Set Aside Some Time
It may take about four hours to
complete the initial assembly. Once you’ve got it, continue on.
2. Install the Shapeoko into the enclosure. There are 10 4-40 screws for
this purpose, but you’ll only need 8. Use a number 1 phillips
screwdriver.
To get the Stepoko into the enclosure, put the ‘port end’ in first.

3. Get ready to install the controller. Test fit it first, but don’t install just
yet, set it down such that the pad can be added, and then it can be
rotated into position. Make sure the aluminum heatsink and extruded
mill rail are clean and free of debris.
