If&you&are&an&experienced&assembler&of&electronics,&you&may&find&the&following&
obvious.&&If&not,&some&notes&about&assembly&in&general:&&
•&&Many&pieces&have&rectangular&and&slide&nuts.&These&nuts&are&designed&to&
lock&in&the&slots&in&the&sides&of&the&aluminum&bars.&You&just&need&to&get&
them&started&and&they&will&selfFalign.&The&slide&nuts&should&be&installed&
with&the&protrusion&toward&the&inside&of&the&slot,&with&the&exception&of&
the&ones&connecting&the&idlers.&&
•&&By&and&large,&it’s&a&bad&idea&to&cinch&down&nuts&on&the&first&pass.&We&will&
discuss&this&as&we&go.&
•& Each&end&stop&gets&a&ribbon&cable&connection.&The&other&end&of&these&
connectors&are&labeled&on&the&board&and&also&cut&to&a&length&that&should&
make&them&tight&connections&when&allocated&correctly.&If&a&ribbon&cable&
has&significant&slack,&it&probably&isn’t&the&right&one!&Look&at&these&
carefully&before&beginning.&&
•& Most&of&the&screws&are&either&M3&(3&mm)&&or&M5&(5&mm)&size.&&
•&& IMPORTANT:&In&some&cases&we&have&shown&parts&where&they&WILL&go&to&
make&it&clearer&how&to&align&them,&but&the&actual&connections&may&be&
made&a&few&sentences&farther&down&in&the&instructions.&Where&this&
happens&we&note&it.&In&some&cases&the&prototype&parts&we&used&for&
instructions&look&a&little&different&or&have&connectors&on&a&different&side;&
we&note&that&where&it&happens&too&and&will&have&updated&pictures&soon.&&

Attach&the&small&acrylic&piece&to&the&
back&of&the&power&connector&board&&
(small&oval&green&circuit&board)&
with&the&two&slide&nuts&and&M3&
screws.&&Align&it&so&that&the&cutouts&
are&over&the&protruding&connections&
on&the&board.&&
Pick&up&the&aluminum&bar&marked&
“z&axis.”(Note:&the&aluminum&bar&is&
shown&here&attached&to&the&base&
plate&to&allow&you&to&anticipate&–&

the&end&of&this&process&the&Z&axis&should&have&the&power&connector&board&loosely&
attached.&&
Take&the&power&connector&board&and&loosen&the&small&screws&in&the&blue&connector&
box&on&the&green&power&board&with&a&Phillips&head&screwdriver&just&enough&so&that&
you&can&insert&the&stripped&wire&ends&into&the&holes&at&90&degrees&to&the&small&
screws.&

side&of&the&Z&axis).&&&
Carefully&slide&down&
the&Z&axis&over&these&
nuts&and&attach&it&to&
the&baseplate.&
Tighten&down&all&
sliding&nuts&and&M5&screws.&&Attach&the&bottom&of&the&Z&axis&with&the&remaining&M5&
