¶ Step 8 - Install the left CoreXY idler - Part 3
- Assembly from Step 3
- Install the left CoreXY idler onto the frame as shown
- Tighten the two marked M6x14 screws to secure the CoreXY idler to the frame
- Take care not to over tighten the M6x14 screws as you can damage the printed part
- Tighten the M5x40 screw to secure the bearing stack into the CoreXY idler
¶ Step 9 - Install the left CoreXY idler - Part 4
- 3030 Drop-in T-Nut - M6
- Place the 3030 T-nut into the extrusion channel and slide it under the CoreXY idler as shown. Position the T-nut so that you are able to see it though the marked hole
- M6x12 Cap Head Screw
- Insert the M6x12 screw as shown and secure it into the previously positioned 3030 T-nut
¶ Step 10 - Install the right CoreXY idler - Part 1
- V-Core 3.1 Frame Assembly - Front Right Corner
- Repeat Step 6 to install the right CoreXY idler plate to the frame
- Install the following components in the order shown in the image
- Mini Precision Shim
- F695ZZ Ball Bearing (Flange at the bottom)
- 695ZZ Ball Bearing
- F695ZZ Ball Bearing (Flange at the top)
- 6mm Aluminium Spacer
¶ Step 11 - Install the right CoreXY idler - Part 2
- Assembly from Step 4
- Install the right CoreXY idler onto the frame as shown
- Tighten the two marked M6x14 screws to secure the CoreXY idler to the frame
- Take care not to over tighten the M6x14 screws as you can damage the printed part
- Tighten the M5x40 screw to secure the bearing stack into the CoreXY idler
¶ Step 12 - Install the right CoreXY idler - Part 3
- 3030 Drop-in T-Nut - M6
- Place the 3030 T-nut into the extrusion channel and slide it under the CoreXY idler as shown. Position the T-nut so that you are able to see it though the marked hole
