Prusa i3 – Build Manual
1. Y-AXIS Frame
1.1 Y-AXIS Long Sections
First take the two 350mm M8 smooth rods and slot one LM8UU bearing onto one, and two LM8UU bearings
onto the other. Next slot the four Y-Corners onto the ends of the 380mm M10 Threaded Rods, then slot the two
350mm M8 Smooth Rods (with bearings) into the Y-Corner top slots, finally screw on and loosely hand tighten
the M10 nuts (and washers).
The smooth rods need to be pushed well into the end corner slots .. but its not absolutely
essential they are flush with the back of the slot, they aren't going to move around once its all assembled.
