-
Here are the fixtures you will need:
-
(pic)
-
First, take and place the parts for the bottom frame as follows. Note that there are marks on the printed parts to indicate the orientation.
- Use the fixture to help you align the Aluminium profile. The boss on the fixture should fit nicely into the slots of the profiles.
- Then put the M8 screws on. Tighten the screws against the table using the four corner fixtures.
- Insert an M5x30 screw into the printed parts, and attach the T-nut (3030 M5).
-
For T-nut, you should always make sure it is turned 90 degrees correctly before tightening.
-
You can check this video to see how it is done.
- A fully tightened T-nut should look like this.
-
Connect the printed part to the lower frame.Press the profile tightly against the desktop to tighten the corner printed parts, then loosen the M8 screws by about 90 degrees and pull out the fixture. Repeat this for all four corners.
-
Remember to remove the fixture before you proceed to the next step.
-
Slide the vertical frame into the corner we just assembled. You should align the bottom frame with the profile end surface with a level table surface.
-
Then tighten the M8 screws. Note that you should tighten both screws in turn to ensure stress distribution.
-
Repeate this for all four corners.
2.1.1 Check

Now tighten the M8 screws in turn, making sure each screw applies relatively the same torque.
2.3.1 Check
- Now check the frame. All the screws must be fully tightened. Put the frame in its initial orientation. Apply force on each corner of the upper frame against the flat surface as shown .
- The frame should not have any significant bumps or make any noise. Note that the profile straightness and torsion issues can cause slight unevenness. This is fine.
2.3.2 Linear Rails
- Linear rails for the Z axis are very important for a 3D printer. We will use jigs and printed parts to ensure the alignment.
- First, attach the M3x10 screw and T-nut to the rail support. This part can determine the position of the rails.
- Attach the rail support against the bottom of the frame as shown. Make sure the lower surface is directly against the bottom profiles.
- Note that the rail support should be attached to these locations.
-
Now attach the M3x10 screws and T-nuts (3030 M3) on the rail as shown in the picture. Leave one empty and one placed. If the block or rubber insert blocks your operation. Slide them away and reinsert the rubber blocks at the end of the rail.
-
Do not let the MGN12 Block drop out!
-
To install the linear rail, you will need the printed fixture. Get them in advance.
-
Now, put the rail against the frame as shown and use both of the printed tools to clamp the rail on the frame for alignment.
