The Y Axis is the one that moves the X Axis assembly back and forth. There are three main components: Y Idlers and the Y Motor Assembly. The Y Idlers are possibly the simplest of all the RepRap assemblies to make, so we'll start with them. You'll need to make two.

This is the collection of parts that you need to build a Y Idler Assembly:

 * Attaching Idler Mount to axle: 

• Attaching Y Idler Bearing to axle loosely:
  

• Parts for Y Drive Rod Assembly:
  

• One end of the completed Drive Rod Assembly:
  

• Attaching bearing to drvie rod:
  

• Segments of the Y Axis Bearing Assembly:
  

• Y Bearing Assembly fitted to Drive Rod:
