P3Steel Y axis assembly

We'll do this in four easy steps:

1. Y idler end assembly.
2. Y motor end assembly.
3. Y smooth rods and carriage installation.
4. Y belt installation.

Each step requires 15~20 minutes, so set aside one evening for the Y axis assembly.

Y idler end assembly

For this step we require these tools (besides the M3 hey key we used to assemble the frame):

Y motor end assembly

For this step we require these tools (besides the M3 hey key we used to assemble the frame):

Y smooth rods and carriage installation

We need a small hammer (not kidding!) to gently (again, not kidding!) push the Y-axis smooth rods into their corresponding slots in the steel frame.
