On to the next part, we need
- 6 X Wheel kits
- 6 X M5 x 25mm screws
- 3 X 6mm spacers
- 3 X 6mm eccentrics
- 1 X gantry plate
First put all the wheel kits together.
put the bearing in first
add the 1mm spacer
add the next bearing
repeat 6 times, and then i rebagged with the nut and other 1 mm spacer for now.
Three of the 25 mm bolts on to one side of the gantry, the smaller holes first. the plate seems reversible
add the 6mm spacers
next the 1mm spacer
add wheel and nut, finger tight
repeat for the other two wheels and nuts
three more bolts in the larger holes, this is where the eccentrics go
add the eccentrics, make sure the go in the hole like the one on the left.
add the 1mm spacer
add the wheel and nut, finger tight
repeat for the other two, i aligned the eccentrics to point out to the edge.
i snugged the nuts so that i can move the eccentrics later, on the three bolts with the 6mm spacers, they can be tightened now.
Now the Anti Backlash lead screw nut block again, again same thing as before the non anti backlash version wasn't included.
- 1 X 8mm anti backlash lead screw nut
- 2 X M5 nuts
- 2 X 3mm spacers
- 2 X M5 20mm screws
put together the lead screw nut
add the nut to the set screw
add the two 20mm bolts here
add 3 mm spacers
put the nut block with the two m5 nuts
and tighten, don't over do it since its plastic
clean out the swarf again
now mount onto a c beam and adjust the eccentrics, some damage on the c beam but it doesn't matter since its not on a contacting surface
i used a small 10 spanner
let it slide down by itself this time, so not too tight, since it'll be adjusted later.
