-
-
Unscrew the two M3x45 bolts from the base of the Z Motor.
-
Use the two M3x45 bolts to attach the motor to the bottom of the acrylic piece.
-
Make sure the connector on the Z Motor is facing towards the back of the acrylic unit.
-
Tip: You don't need to accurately position the motor at this stage; just tighten the screws so the motor doesn't flap around.
-
-
-
Snap the Y Motor into place (with the pulley facing down) right under the power supply connector.
-
Done :-)

Get End-Stop Fasteners: M2x16 screw (2), Regular M2 nut (2), Regular M2 washer (2)
-
… and attach the Y EndStop to the acrylic piece. Make sure the head of the screw is on the switch facing down (so that the nut is on the underside)
-
-
-
Y EndStop: Attach the Y EndStop on the third set of pins in the upper row of connectors at the top right (directly above the small "Y" on the Arduino board).
-
Z motor: Connect one end of the Z Motor wire where it says "Z" on the Arduino board and the other end to the Z motor.
-
Y motor: Connect one end of the Y Motor wire where it says "Z" on the Arduino board and the other end to the Y motor.
-
-
-
It’s crucial the Y motor wire is installed so that it cannot come in contact with the bed as it’s moving past the wire mounting point.
-
Use zip ties to arrange the wire as shown.
-
Here is a Subway Style graphic to help you organize the pertinent wires (the thick black blocks signify zip ties).
-
Finally, clip the extended part of the zip ties you have used. While clipping the zip ties, make sure you don't clip the wires.
