Time Required. Suggest a time?? For this step you will need the three pieces of TSLOT the long aluminum bars that came with your kit and the remaining long lengths of wiring that are in the electronics pack 2 pieces of 12awg black, 1 12awg red, and 2 26awg white wires.
You will have one additional 12awg red that is mm long, that we will also prepare during this step. Run the wires through the towers as shown. One tower will get both a 12awg black wire and 2 26awg white wires. If you have difficulty getting the wires through the extrusion, you can thinly tape the white wires to the black wire to assist. Remove the tape when finished. The X tower is the extrusion that has the white and black wires running through it. You should not force the extrusion into the assembly.
Too much side-to-side motion can fracture the base plate. Crimp a yellow ring terminal onto both the black and red wires on the ends that exit the bottom of the Y and Z towers. Route them under the large arc of the PSU blocker and attach them to the power supply.
The locations are indicated by arrows in the image. The mm long 12awg red wire that you previously crimped the ring terminal on should now be connected to the power supply in the location indicated by an arrow. Route the wire under the PSU blocker with other red 12awg wire. The images for this step show the installation of the ball joints and end stop striker on the carriages after installation on the printer.
We will go ahead and install them prior to installing the carriages on the printer. Align the ball joint with the posts on the inside of the carriage and press on. You should attempt to evenly press the ball joint onto the carriage. You should tighten the screw until you start to feel some resistance.
