Preparing The Vertical Supports - SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Manual

Preparing the Vertical Supports

The vertical supports need to have four #6-32 Nylon lock nuts and two #6-32, 1/2" Stainless
Steel flat head screws installed in each one.
The simplest way to install the lock nuts is to use a pair of needle nosed pliers and grip the nut
as shown in Fig. 4-4.
Install each nut in the nut pockets laser cut in the vertical supports as shown below.
Fig. 4-5: Nut installation points.
The lock nuts need to be oriented such that
their flat face is facing the channel leading to the
edge of the part as shown in Fig. 4-6.
The pockets the nuts fit into are tight, but the nuts will fit. If you're having trouble getting the
nut to fit, try inserting it from the other side of the part. The laser kerf results in a slight cut angle that
makes one side of a cut area a tiny bit wider than the other. This will help get the nuts inserted. If
they're too lose, you can use a small tab of Scotch tape to hold them in until you've put screws in the
problem nuts.
