8 Place the X-axis gantry between its mounts on the two side pieces.
The mount for the diode laser module should face towards the front
of the frame. Connect the gantry to the mounts using two M4×10
bolts on each side. For best results, position and partially tighten all
the bolts before fully tightening any.
If the gantry cannot be connected because the mounts are not
aligned, see Belt Tensioning below for how to loosen the belts. Once
a belt is unlocked and loose, gently move it by hand so it is directly
across from the other and then continue.
Alternatively, loosen both sides and move both mounts to the back
of the machine to align them. After attaching the gantry, this will
also allow you to gently conrm that the belts move smoothly along
their entire range of motion.
