Assembling the filament feeder

The filament feeder kit was assembled together with all of the parts








 The Finished product!

At first i had trouble finding instructions on how to assemble this part but eventually I figured out how to assemble it myself.




 The Y axis smooth rod mounts where then all align so that the print bed would align properly











The print surface slid on straight away!

 After that I then cut out a template, witch I then stick to dome 6mm MDF, witch was then cut out.
 It was then stuck on  to another peice of MDF witch was 21.5MM by 21.5 MM, it was held in place with a M3 bolt, 2 washes, 1 spring.
The 3 mouths that hold the the bearings where next to be added. Soon after that the Y belt was added with the 2 other mounts with washes and nuts on them.
After the 2 Z axis top threaded rods and the 2 Y axis smooth rod's were installed. I then tightened the machine, starting from the bottom, to the top.
