- Install one M8 nut onto each of the remaining 295 mm (1 dot) threaded rods
- Install the rods onto the frame by sliding the rods with the nut side down through the Z-motor mounts and into the hex bores of the X-axis idler assembly and the X-axis motor assembly

This blog is intended to serve as a simple, straight-forward guide for building and using your own 3D printer. I created and continually update this blog for a simple reason: the current state of 3D printing is confusing and I feel that this discourages new enthusiasts. Hopefully the simplicity of this blog will encourage more people to take the plunge into the world of reprap and 3D printing.
