<p>This step is the bulk of the work required to assemble your machine. There are two different styles of plates that we will be assembling in this step. The first style includes a stepper motor, there are 3 of these plates total, and they will be used to drive both your X- and Y-axes. The other style is nearly identical to the first, with the exception of not having a stepper motor or smooth idlers attached. This plate will be used to connect your Z-axis assembly to your X-axis assembly. </p>
72
-
<p>The 3 plates with stepper motors are identical and interchangeable. The plates are symmetrical, so there is no such thing as a front and a back (as they're the same) until one determines this by attaching parts. Keep in mind that your stepper motor will go on the opposite side of your wheels and smooth idlers.</p>
73
-
<p>It might be easier and more straight-forward to assemble all four of them to match the Z-axis motor carriage mount plate, then set one aside for that, and add smooth idler wheels to make the other three.</p>

<p>Please note that the above image does not show the stepper motor in place. As previously noted, one should attach at least one stepper motor for the X-axis plate, as it's difficult to attach it once the gantry carriage is assembled. Use 4 M3 screws, 4 M3 washers and also attach the GT2 pulley.</p></article><scriptsrc="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
