steps by steps
Tension Slider
The Tension_Slider tensions the belt on the X-Axis and Y-Axis. In total three are needed in the machine. The Hex_Screw_M5x35mm is pressed into the Star_Knob_Base and the Star_Knob_Cover glued on inorder to encapsulate the screw.
- A M5_Nut is dropped into the Tension_Slider.
- The Socket_Cap_Screw_M5x45mm is pushed through the hole of the Tension_Slider and the GT2_Idler_20T_5B_6mm and secured with a M5_Nut.
- Pass the belt through the center of the aluminum extrusion before mounting both mounting plates to the aluminum extrusion.
Y-Axis Left Back Mounting Plate
- Press and secure the 608 Bearing on the side in place with M3 screws. Socket_Cap_Screw_M3x6m
- Insert the Belt and attach the Idler to the 8mm shaft.
- Insert a M5 screw and feed the Belt around the Idler and secure the screw with a nut.
- Mount the Y-Axis_Left_Back_Mounting_Plate to the Aluminum extrusion with M5 screws.
Y-Axis Front Mounting Plates
- Insert the Belt and attach the Idler with a M5 screw and nut.
- Insert the Tension_Sliderand feed the Belt around the Idler.
- Mount the Y-Axis_Front_Mounting_Plate to the Aluminum extrusion with M5 screws.
Y-Axis Right Back Mounting Plate with motor
Connect the Pulley to the Motor shaft.
- Mount the Motor to the Y-Axis_Right_Back_Mounting_Plate with M5 screws and nuts.
- Insert the Belt and attach the Idler with a M5 screw and nut.
- Mount the Y-Axis_Right_Back_Mounting_Plate to the Aluminum extrusion with M5 screws.
- Connect the Motor Shaft and long 8mm shaft together with a motor-coupler-dat.
