- Set the distance between the inside edges of the footed vertices along the Y- motor mount and Bar clamp sub-assemblies to 234 mm. Tighten M8 nuts with a wrench
- Orient the frame such that the Y-Motor mount is on the far side of the unit
- Slide a 440 mm threaded rod (3 dots) through one of the holes on one of the non-footed vertices
- When the thread rod is halfway through the frame, affix the following to the rod from inside the frame
- Finish sliding the threaded rod assembly through the appropriate hole on the other non-footed vertex
- Ensuring that the inside walls of the vertices are 234 mm apart and that there is 90 mm of threaded rod protruding through the right side of the assembly
- Secure the threaded rod
- Repeat steps 3-7 for the remaining threaded rod
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.
