Gather Materials

2 Attach Pulleys and Place Bearings

Place 1x NEMA 17 stepper motor [EL-MT0068] inside the Z lower motor jig, then slide 1x 16 teeth timing pulley [HD-MS0033] on the motor shaft making sure one of the set screws on the pulley is aligned with the flat side of the motor shaft.

While pushing down on the timing pulley tighten both set screws. Then torque the set screws to 3 in*lb.

Repeat these steps for the second stepper motor.

Using the bearing punch jig and 1x rubber sealed bearing [HD-MS0411] and Z lower right [PP-GP0536] press the bearing into the teardrop shaped hole [reference#1]

Repeat for Z lower left [PP-GP0537]

Place EL-MT0068 inside Z lower motor jig and slide HD-MS0033 over shaft

Make sure one set screw is on the flat side of the shaft and tighten set screw down, repeat for second set screw

Torque set screws to 3 in*lb

Repeat steps for second motor

Gather materials for pressing in bearings

[reference#1] Using the bearing punch jig press the bearing into the Z lower (left or right)

Repeat for the other Z Lower

3 Attach Motors to Z Lowers

Place 1x NEMA stepper motor inside Z lower left making sure the shaft is sitting in the rubber sealed bearing and the motor connector is facing up.

Then using 4x M3x12 SHCS [HD-BT0039] with 4x M3 washers [HD-WA0038] secure the motor to the Z lower.

Repeat these steps using Z lower right.

Then route a scrap belt around the motor and pull on one side of the belt to check if the bearing and pulley rub together.

Note: If the bearing and pulley are rubbing together you will feel a jerking while pulling on the belt, if this happens remove motor and reinstall the bearing.

Check the second motor on the other Z lower.

Load 4x HD-BT0039 with 4x HD-WA0038 and place stepper motor inside Z lower

[reference#2] Holes for HD-BT0039 on Z lowers

Using the preloaded screws secure motor to Z lower

Repeat for the other Z Lower

Check the bearing and pulley

4 Fasten Z Lowers to Extrusions

Place the Z lower right with motor inside the 289 Z lower jig making sure the motor is sitting next to the middle metal tab.

Then use 2x T-Slot Extrusion 271mm [HD-EX0095] and slide them into the Z lower right. Then following [reference#3] slide 11x T-Slot nuts into the extrusions.

Place the Z lower left on the other ends of the extrusions and place them in the 289 Z lower jig.

Start to fasten 2x M5x20 BHCS [HD-BT0272] into the extrusion to secure the Z lower left, then repeat for the Z lower right.
Note: Make sure to leave the screws loose until all four are half way in the extrusion

Once all four M5x20 BHCS are in place then use the drill to fully secure the Z lowers to the extrusions

Place PP-GP0536 inside the 289 Z lower jig making sure the motor is sitting by the middle tab

Slide 2x HD-EX0095 inside the Z lower and the red extrusion stands

[reference#3] Slide 11x HD-NT0053 into HD-EX0095

Place PP-GP0537 inside the 289 Z lower jig

Start fastening 2x HD-BT0272 into PP-GP0537

Start fastening 2x HD-BT0272 into PP-GP0536

Using the 3mm drill fasten all four HD-BT0272

5 Mount Power Supply

Snap one 2 bundle cable clip [PP-GP0595] on the front extrusion (side that the motor wire ports are on) then route the power switch wire through the cable clip.

Place the power supply assembly in between the extrusions making sure the power supply assembly points towards the Z lower left.

Then using 2x M5x10 BHCS [HD-BT0073] secure the power supply to the extrusions, if needed use a tweezer to align the T-nuts.
Note: Use the middle T-nut leaving one T-nut on both sides of the power supply cover

Flip the Z lower assembly over and using 1x M5x10 BHCS secure the power supply mount to the extrusion.

Then using 2x M3x10 SHCS **[HD-BT0157] secure the power switch housing to the Z lower right, and repeat process to mount the power plug housing to the Z lower left.

Place 2 bundle cable clip
