⬢Carefully slide both smooth rods all the way into the MINI-Z-carriage-front. Before inserting the smooth rods, check if there are no obstructions inside the holes.
⬢Look sideways on the MINI-Z-carriage-front through the inspection hole and check that the smooth rod is fully inserted into the plastic part.
⬢Secure all parts together with four M3x12 screws.
⬢Look sideways on the MINI-X-end into the inspection hole and ensure that the smooth rod is inserted all the way in the plastic part.
Some early units may be without inspection holes.
If the rod is not fully visible in the groove, try using more force to push MINI-X-end on the rod. Do not use a hammer or similar tools to push the plastic part!
⬢Turn the X-axis and use the same procedure for the second smooth rod.
⬢Look at the X-axis from the side. Align the X-end parallel to the Z-axis smooth rods by twisting the plastic part. Do not use too much force to twist, you may damage the X-axis.
⬢Securing the X-end by tightening both screws on the front side of the plastic part.
After tightening, check once more the X-end is parallel with the Z-axis.
⬢There is a flat part on the motor shaft. Rotate it similarly to the first picture. See the direction of the arrows.
⬢Place the Extruder pinion on the Extruder motor shaft as shown in the picture.
⬢Don't press the pinion against the motor. Leave a 1.5 millimeters gap between both parts. You can use the 1.5mm Allen key to set the gap.
⬢The set screw must be facing directly against the pad (flat part) on the shaft. Tighten the screw with the longest part of the Allen key. Be careful, not to strip the screw.
Ensure you have the correct orientation of the pulley on the shaft. It can be placed both ways, but only one is correct.
