- Install three LM8UU bearings into the X-axis carriage
- Note: Use a blow dryer/heat gun to allow the bushing retention features to cold flow, to reduce the likelihood of breaking a feature
- Note: In the event that the bushing retention features snap off during assembly, the bearings can be held in place using zip-ties
- Install two M3 nuts into the belt mount with hex recesses
- Install two M3x22 mm bolts into the belt mount with round recesses
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.
