1. With the lettering on one of the Upper Panel
facing up, insert one of the stepper motors
through. Secure it in place using two
M3x10mm screws and two M3 washers. The
motor cable connector should face towards
the right.
Note: Position the motor all the way to the
center of the panel. This will be helpful when
adding the belts in a later section.
2. Mount two SHF8 and one KFL8 on the bottom
of the middle mounting bracket (same side as
the stepper motor). Put the two SHF8 in place
using two M4x20mm screws and M4 T-nut.
The KFL8 is secured in place using two
M4x16mm screws and two M4 T-nut. Leave
these a little loose for adjustment later.
3. Insert M5x10mm screws into the remaining six
holes and finish them off with six M5 T-nuts.
The T-nuts should be on the same side as the
rest of the T-nuts.
4. Repeats steps 1-3 for the other Upper Panel.
