M2 ASSEMBLY GUIDE
M2 ASSEMBLY PART 3B: FINISH M2 Z-AXIS ASSEMBLY (BAG Z)
Drew's Note: The Z-Axis Assembly attaches to the sled with
T-nuts. They are marvels of engineering that are specially
designed to turn sideways when being tightened. This fastens
parts to aluminum extrusions at different angles. Sometimes, you
have to loosen and retighten them to get them to turn.
3B. Line up leg extrusions with side-threaded holes and bolt to
rail foot extrusions on each side. Slide extrusion legs onto rail
feet until it threaded holes line up on the side.
5B. Attach four Z1 L-brackets to each side of the extrusion legs.
Ensure that they turn 90 degrees. Use two Z4 T-Nuts and shorter
Z3 bolts per bracket using Z5 Allen wrench.
