Y Axis Belt assembly instructions missing #2

Open wpetefish opened 6 years ago

wpetefish commented 6 years ago

After looking everywhere in the manual, I found that the instructions for attaching the belts to the Y axis are missing. Specifically, the step containing "Y Axis Synchronous Belt" parts.

I've noted the same thing. It isn't difficult to do though.

If anyone has figured out the missing instructions it would be helpful to post them here. Thanks,

This is a bit easier if during step 4, DO NOT fully tighten the set screws on the single pulley to the left of the drive axle. In step 5, ensure that you line up the 2 pulleys as shown.

The missing instruction should be step 12, part 4. Add in the 2 Y drive belts and the 2 smaller tools to the requirements.

Loop both drive belts around the Y axis drive and slave shafts, making them as tight as reasonably possible along the top, and bring the ends to the top of the X assembly. Insert the belts into the clamps set in the top of the X assembly, and tighten the screws securing the belt to the assembly, being careful to preserve an orthagonal orientation. This is where having the one pulley not set firmly will come in handy, so that you can allow that pulley to spin slightly to keep the angle correct. Once set, tighten the set screws on that pulley.
