Step 1 — Preparing for the Build
The first step in preparing for your build is to remove the masking from both sides of all laser cut
panels. This masking helps protect the components during the cutting, packing, & shipping
process.

Step 2 — Base Tower Supports Overview
You'll be making three of these
assemblies using injection molded
parts 84407 & 84408 ( 1 each per
assembly).

When inserting the nylon lock nuts,
do so from the "inside" of the
injection molded part. This will allow
the nut to fit more easily into the nut
pocket. Needle nose pliers make
this a breeze.

Only thread the t-slot nuts on a few
threads - you need to leave room for
the tower channel to slide between
the t-slot nut and the face of the
injection molded mount.

The threads on the blind nuts have a
flange on one side. The flanged side
should be away from the head of the
screw.

Step 3 — Base Tower Support Tips
Insert the 6-32 nylon lock nuts into the injection molded parts first. There will be 2 of these nuts


Then install the 1/4-20 button head screws and T-SLOT nuts. Remember to only get the nut
started on the screw.

Press the bearing / cover assembly (pre-assembled by SeeMeCNC) onto the posts inline with the
1/4-20 hardware (position shown)

The two halves will be fastened together with #4 x 1/2"screws.

injection molded side panels are not tapped / threaded. Make sure you put some pressure on the
screws and keep them straight.

Make sure you put some pressure on the screws and keep them straight. They will be a little
