Step 1. Make sure the front of the bottom frame is facing you .
Step 2. 1) Place the Top frame on top of all four aluminum frames.
2) Line up the pre-drilled screw holes on tops of aluminum frame with the holes on top of Top frame and tighten in place with an M5x25
screw and washer at each corner.
3) After 4 screws on top are tightened, use 4 M5x25 screws and washers to fasten corner brackets in each corner of Top frames, into
corresponding holes on outside edge of aluminum frame

Ready:
Frame Assembly Pt. 3
Step 1. Make sure the front of the bottom frame is facing you .
Step 2. Place double Z-axis frame inside of previously assembled frame. The double Z-axis frame is mounted on the left and right 2040 aluminum
profiles of the top frame and must be aligned with the aluminum profile. Making sure the motor is on the bottom, attach the frame to
the lower and upper assembly with a M5x30 screw and washer at each corner. The upper and lower assembly extrusions will have
corresponding pre-drilled holes for these screws.
Step 3. After the installation of the double Z-axis frame is completed, please check if your Y-axis can move smoothly. If the movement is
hindered and the aluminum profile is rubbed, please adjust the eccentric nut and reassemble your Z-axis frame.

M5 T-nut
Step 1. Make sure the front of the base(b) is facing you. Place the hot bed on the support plate of the double Z-axis frame and align with the
profile holes on it.
Step 2. Using 4 M4x10 screws, connect the hot bed to the support plate on the Z-axis frame. Make sure the hot bed is flat and all six
screws are securely fastened.
Step 3. Subsequently, pass the M5x8 socket head cap screw through the threaded hole on the of the metal plate filament bracket , then pass
the M5 T-nut and gently turn the M5 T-nut. Do not tighten. Rotate the M5 T-nut that has been installed on the metal plate filament
bracket into a position parallel to the groove of the aluminum profile, and insert it into the aluminum profile. The M5 T-nut below the
metal plate filament bracket is parallel to the groove of the 2040 aluminum profile and is inserted into it. The upper M5 T-nut on the
metal plate filament bracket is parallel to the 2040 aluminum profile and inlaid, then tighten the screw with an Allen key and tighten
the M5 T-nut to a position perpendicular to the groove of the aluminum profile.

2. 2mm feeler gauge between the nozzle and the hot bed → If the gap is too thin or
too large, click "Z+" or "Z-" on the interface to adjust the gap to slightly more than 0.2 mm(the distance between the nozzle and the
hot bed should be about 0.2mm). At 0.2 mm the feeler can easily pass through the gap between the nozzle and the printing platform.
