13) Assembling the Legs
Attach 4 short spacers using 4 short screws to each of the
unengraved sides of the right leg elements.
Slide one shaft collar up to the middle of each of
the 6 short shafts (8 mm) and insert one of these
into the hole at the end of each right leg element.
Place a left leg element on top of each right leg element,
and secure each with 2 short screws at positions 1 and 2.
So that the legs can be easily attached to the
body in the next step, the two screws at
positions 3 and 4 should not be tightened yet.
Screw the other two screws loosely into the spacers
at positions 3 and 4 (about halfway in).
On a smooth surface, check if the shaft collars
at the end of the legs roll smoothly.
They compensate for lateral leg movements
and even increase variAnt's speed.
Carefully remove any rough edges on these shaft
collars using a utility knife.
