Next, you're going to thread the wires coming out of the Z axis tower through the square
opening in the top of the base that's right over the T-Slot nut plates.
Now carefully set the end of the tower in the opening and slide it in. It's a VERY tight fit but do
not wiggle it! You want to drive the tower straight down. If you wiggle it front to back too much, you
can break the area where it's thin at the corners of the hole.
As you drive the tower down, make sure that the T-Slot nut plates are sliding into the t-slots on
both sides of the tower. You'll want to drive it down until it comes into contact with the #4 leveling
screw that you installed in the tower assembly. After the tower is set, use a 5/32 Allen (hex) wrench to
slightly tighten the ¼-20 cap screws (finger tight). You'll tighten them up after the top as been
mounted.
