04 | X Axis Assembly

Find the part labelled as XR (X-Axis Right) and insert the M3 Square Nuts all the way in. Our tolerances are tight; please use a plier to insert the square nut if necessary.

Screw the M3 x 10mm Screws but do not tighten them yet. You will do it later to lock the X-Axis Steel Rods.

Push the M5 Hex Nuts all the way into the hex slots at the bottom of the XR part. Top slots for M5 screws are hex-shaped on purpose but they are larger and you can't keep the hex nuts in place in them so you won't be able to do a mistake.

Combine the two F695ZZ bearings and insert them into the slot. Screw an M5 x 30 Ultra Low Head screw to fix the idler assembly.

Push the GT2 20T Idler Pulley into the slot and screw the M5 x 30 Ultra-Low Head Screw

Follow the same steps for the part labelled XL (X-Axis Left).

Slide in the LMU10 Bearings on the X-Axis Rods and wipe off the excess lube on the ends. Insert the XR and XL parts to the rod end. Do not tighten the Rod screws yet.

Find the part labelled XC (X-Axis Carriage) and insert the LMU10 on the Y-Axis rod.

Tighten the zip ties.

Place the bearing cover and insert four M3 x 14 screws to prepare for the right side mount of the X-Axis.

Mount the XR (X-Axis Right) on the XC and tighten the screws.

Please follow the same steps for the XL and XC assembly on the left. Tighten the Zip Ties and place the bearing cover and mount it with M3 x 14mm screws.

If you remember, we only tighten these two M5 x 10mm screws temporarily on the A Carriage on previous steps while assembling the gantry. Now, please loosen these two screws slightly.

Move the X-Axis back and forth to ensure that it is moving smoothly.

Now move the X-Axis all the way back and tighten the four set screws for the rods on the XR and XL parts.

Move the X-Axis back and forth and ensure free movement. Then tighten the six M5 x 10mm screws on the A Carriage.

Drop-in T-nuts are very useful, however, they need to be used properly. If you do not leave enough space to let them move, they won't function as you expected.

Pass the endstop cables as seen in the picture and mount the endstop with two M2 x 10mm screws.

Insert an M3 Square Nut on the left side for radial fan support. Again, our tolerances are tight; please use a plier to insert the square nut if necessary.

Find the X Carriage Body Part labelled as L and R. Insert four square nuts to their places on top and front.

Turn the backside of the carriage body and insert four M3 Square Nuts all the way in.

Place the bearing cover first and piece together the X Carriage labelled as L and R.

Use two M3 x 8mm and unite the bearing cover and X-Carriage. It is normal to be loose at the bottom, you will be tightening all assembly with the Extruder Body.
