X axis assembly

Take care as plexyglass is very brittle.

Oil liner bearings or you may encounter missed step problem on Z axis.

z-Axis nut:

An important thing to do here is to ensure that the nut fits into the nut cut-out on the x-axis-plate. This requires a lot of delicate filing before assembly.

General hints:

A problem was experienced where the x-axis-plate and the z-runner-mount are attached to one another. There are laser cut features in two parts, and two mounting holes to allow the bearing fit as shown here Z-runner-mount-fitted 1.jpg
