| Difficulty: | Easy |
| Steps: | 2 |
| Time Required: | 20mins – 30mins |
Step 1 Installing The Flexible Coupler
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| Flexible Coupler 5*8*25mm | 1 |
On one side of the flexible coupler is a 5mm hole and on the opposite side is an 8mm hole. Insert the flexible coupler from the 5mm hole side to the stepper motor shaft as seen in the pictures down below. Slightly tighten the first set screw. Turn the shaft and slightly tighten the second set screw.
Step 2 Installing The T8 Lead Screw
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| 380mm T8 Lead Screw | 1 |
Insert the T8 lead screw into the flexible coupler from the 8mm hole side. Gently tighten the two set screws of the flexible coupler.
Step 3 Assemble The X-axis And The Z-axis Together
| Prepare The Following Parts: | |
|---|---|
| The assembled X-axis unit | 1 |
Place the X-axis four V-wheels on the Z-axis Aluminium profile and insert the brass nut into the T8 lead screw. Gently rotate the T8 lead screw so the brass nut gets fully inserted.
Make sure that all the four solid v-wheels are touching the aluminium profile and moving freely without too much tension.
Also, make sure that the T8 lead screw is inserted into the brass nut and you can rotate it with your hand easily.
Step 4 Checkpoint
You should now have an assembled X and Z axis together.
