Part 2- Mechanical Installation

What you will need

Step 1: Flip the Y-Axis Base Assembly upside down and remove the cable ties from the bearing mount.
Step 2: Move the spoilboard to align the two screw holes of the spoilboard with the two screw holes of the centered nut seat as shown below.
Step 3: Lock them with two pieces of M6*10mm bolts.

Installing Rubber Feet to Y-Axis Base Assembly

What you will need

Step 1: Locate the pre-drilled holes and install the rubber feet onto each corner using the Allen wrench.

Install Y-Axis Base to X / Z Axis Gantry

What you will need

Step 1: Turn the Y-axis base assembly upside down and place it on a flat surface.

Step 2: Align the gantry fixing holes with the corresponding screw holes on the both sides of the Y-axis base assembly.

Step 3: Tighten the M5*22 bolts respectively through the fixing holes of the gantry and into the corresponding screw holes on the Y-axis base and secure it with the 3mm Allen Wrench.

Installing the Spindle

What you will need

Step 1: Unscrew the black collar from the spindle and insert the collet. Make sure the collet is locked in place by pushing it till it “clicks”. Then screw the Collar and Collet back into the spindle.

Step 2: Loosen the Spindle Mount Hex Screw.

Step 3: Slide the spindle into the spindle mount until the external sleeve of the spindle is fully inserted

Step 4: Tighten the Hex screw to secure the Spindle. Do not over tighten the screw, as it can damage the mount.

Install the Acrylic Baffles

What you will need

You first will need to identify the left baffle and the right baffle first, by placing the baffle along the aluminum frame as shown in the diagram below, each piece will fit the shape of the frame. Peel off the protective paper from the baffles.

Step 1: lnsert the M5*10mm bolts from the outside of the baffle (For example, for the left-side baffle, the M5 bolt should insert from the left side). Then put the T-Slot nut onto the bolt from the other side using your hand. One turn only. Keep them loose for now. Orient the T-Slot nuts horizontally (Note that the distance between the T-nut and the acrylic shield should be 2-3mm after screwing in).

Step 2: Place T-Slot nuts into the side of the machine so that the baffle is aligned with the edge of the frame.

Step 3: Now tighten the M5 bolts to secure the baffle. Repeat the steps to install the other side.

Congratulations! Now your machine frame is fully assembled! Now let’s move on to wiring.

Part 3- Wiring

1. Following the Wiring Diagram Below to connect the spindle motor cables.
   The red wire is connected to the positive pole of the spindle motor, and the black wire is connected to the negative pole of the spindle motor.

2. lnsert the Y-axis stepper motor cable and Y-axis limit switch cable into the corresponding control board interface a shown below.

Cable Management

What you will need

Cable Tie

1. Use the cable ties to fix the cable management on the cable holder as shown
2. Use the manual jog wheels to move the X, Y, Z axis fully and make sure they could move freely and not restricted by the cables.

Tips for Installing the Clamps

Please refer to the below images to install the clamps.
Make sure that the screw screwing depth can not exceed the bottom of the aluminum platform, otherwise the screw will hit the frame of the machine.

Part 4- Software Setup

1. Driver Installation
   lnstall the driver (software — Driver — CH3 0SER.exe)

2. To Determine your Machine’s COM port:

   • Windows XP: Right click on “My Computer”, select “Manage”, select “Device Manager”.
   • Windows 7: Click “Start” — Right click” Computer” — Select “Manage” — Select “Device Manager” from left
   • ln the tree, expand “Ports (COM & PT)”
   • Your machine will be the USB Serial Port(COMX), where the “X” represents the COM number, for example
   • If there are multiple USB serial ports, right click each one and check the manufacturer, the machine will be “CH340”.

3. Grblcontrol (Candle) Connecting to the Controller
   First time use will require you setup the appropriate COM PORT and Baud rate.
   Step 1: Software should automatically select the port number.
   Step 2: If it does not recognize automatically select the “Baud” drop down menu and select 115200.
   Step 3: Click “OK” to save
