Gantry, Step 3: Z-Motor to Plate

Take the Z motor mounting plate (1) and the Z motor. Note, that the wire assembly connecting to the motor was packed together with the Z motor; don’t throw it away with the packing material!

Remove the thread protection tube and the delrin nut from the motor. Clean any excess grease from the nut. Attach the thread shafted Z-motor (2) to the plate, using M3-6 bolts (4) and M3 washers (3). Note the direction of the connector.
