Hardware setup

STEP 2: construct the y-axis motors

In order to construct the Y-axis motors, there will be one holder shown in (1) for each motor that will be linked to the Y-axis Aluminum profiles shown previously in step 1. The Nema17 motor shown in (3) will be linked to the holder by screwing it with the screws in (3.2) in the BLUE holes shown in (2.1), and the result is shown in (4 & 4.1). The pulley in (3.1) will be placed at the motor shaft to allow movement with the help of the belt shown in (6). The four wheels shown in (2) will be inserted in the holder by screwing them in the RED holes shown in (2.1) and the result is shown in (5 & 5.1). Finally, both holders will be placed at the Y-axis profiles with the help of the belt in (6) that is inserted in the rails shown in (7), the wheels in (2), and the pulley in (3.1).
