With Z Axis Adjuster installed, home laser by hand
Observe the space between your front rail and your module
If the module comes in contact with the front rail, without
hitting the home stop contact switch, you will need to move
the contact switch to a position that renders it effective
(engages it)
Do this by positioning the module so that there is a space
between it and the front rail and move your home stop
contact switch forward until it is fully engaged.
Tighten your home stop at this position. Refer to your laser's
manual for home stop switch locations
Retighten your belt(s)
IMPORTANT
You need to check your home stop before turning on your laser,
after installing the Z Axis. This is to avoid damage to your laser.
If the switch is activated and the module does not come in
contact with the front rail you do not need to move your home
stop

1st step: Prepping the Module Adapter
Insert the M3 nuts into the available hexagons
on the King Gubby Module Adapter. Then,
remove the Sculpfun module from the Slider
Plate by unscrewing the 2 thumb screws
(Circled in yellow).

The embossed 'S9' on the
module adapter plate will face
the module.
2nd Attach the Module Adapter
Now, with the nuts installed and the Sculpfun
module removed, face the King Gubby Module
Adapter Plate's 'S9' to the Sculpfun Module,
aligning the countersunk holes with the
available holes in the module. Use the
provided countersunk M4 screws to attach the
Module Adapter Plate to the Sculpfun Module.
This should 'sandwich' or hide the 4 x M3 nuts,
that were installed in the last step, up against
the module.

3rd: Attaching the Z Axis Module Plate
to the Module Adapter
Choose desired position/height of module by
selecting holes on the Module Plate (circled in
red). Mount the Module Plate to the Module
Adapter (Which should now be fastened to your
Sculpfun Module) using four supplied M3
screws. Remember the M3 nuts that we
'sandwiched'? You are screwing these M3
screws into them now (Circled in yellow
below).
Smooth side of Module
Adapter Plate should
be showing (not the
side that says 'S9'

4th: Prepping the Carriage Plate
Insert the M4 nuts into the available hexagons on
the carriage plate.

5th: Attaching the Carriage Plate
Attach the Carriage Plate to the laser carriage by
using the four stock carriage 'thumb' screws. Slide
them through the Sculpfun Carriage Slider Plate
slots and tighten through the King Gubby Carriage
plate at the 4 x M4 nuts.

6th: Assembling the Z Axis
Now, slide the module plate (with module
attached) onto the carriage plate (attached to
carriage) via the dovetail channels. Insert the
barrel nut in the provided open hole on the module
plate (circled in red below). Next, slide the M6 bolt
(75mm) through the hole in the top of the carriage
plate, and screw to desired height, through the
barrel nut.
Make sure the slit on the barrel nut
is facing away from the module
Oil the dove tails
on both sides.
Preferably with
dry lubricant, but
any lubricant is
acceptable

Last step: Locking the Bolt Down
Make sure the bolt head is touching the carriage
plate and slide the bolt clip over the top of the bolt
head to keep bolt from unscrewing while
adjusting the axis. Set the remaining hex nuts in
the fitted slots on the carriage plate and use the
remaining M3 screws to attach the bolt clip to the
carriage plate.

Oh and...
By the way, the reason the t-handle looks so
funny is because it rests on your laser's
aluminum extrusion. Keeps it out of reach of
those tool trolls.
