Module 2: Z-axis (time: 45-90 min.)
Note: Most holes are designed to minimize the need for any post processing, like filing and drilling.
Sometimes, however the bolts will not fit and it therefore needs to be drilled out slightly. Required
drill sizes can be 3, 4 mm.
!! Do following steps before starting the rest of the module: !!
-
File a flat side on the motor axle for the z-axis motor, which need to be connected to the
z-axis spindle by means of a set-screw. It needs to be 15mm high and approx. 1 mm
deep. This is not required for the y-axis motor.
