steps by steps

Tension Slider

  • belt-sys-dat - timing-pulley-dat - glue-dat - idler-dat

  • 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

  • stepper-dat

  • 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.
