Now slide the X & Z Axis Bearing Plate Assembly onto the
other side of the V Rail extrusion. Continue to support the
V Rail Extrusion and place the right frame piece in position.
Slide an M5 washer onto a self-drilling screw then place
the screw into the top hole. Get a few threads turned into
the top center tap hole of the 2040 V Rail Extrusion then
get the bottom hole started with another M5 washer and
self-drilling screw. Just like with the other side, make sure
that the top of the V Rail Extrusion flushes up to the top of
the right frame piece. Once you are confident that the rail
isn’t canted and everything is flush, put a final torque on
the self-drilling screws on both sides of the frame.
X&Z AXIS ASSEMBLY CONNECTION TO Y AXIS
ASSEMBLY
Take your Y Axis Assembly and set it down so that the
moving bed is facing upward. We will now put the frame
pieces together. Take special care to get the orientation
correct. The front frame piece has four holes below the
cutout for the belt for the motor mount, while the back
frame piece only has one hole in this area. The right frame
piece has four holes for a motor mount under the cutout
for the belt, while the left frame piece only has one hole in
this area. Grab your completed X&Z Axis Assembly which
has the left and right frame pieces attached and place it
into position within the Y axis assembly which has the front
and back frame pieces. Sometimes this fit is a little snug,
so you may have to slightly pry at the sides of the front
and rear frame pieces to get the left and right frame pieces
to slide in. Move things around a bit in order to flush up
the edges and square everything up. Don’t worry if every
corner isn’t perfectly flush yet where the left and right
frame pieces meet the front and back fra
me pieces. You’ll
get it locked down right in a minute.
