Overview and Instructions
Assembling the frame properly is key to building a stable printer, particularly at high speeds. We're going to assemble in sections, squaring as we go. The result will be a very rigid, heavyweight frame.
Assembly Order
The order of assembly is fairly logical:
- Assemble the side frames.
- Add in crossbars and connect the two halves.
- Install Z axis flooring and use the cut panels to align the frame.
- Assemble the X/Y frame and install.
- Align everything/check for fit.
