Y-plate assembly

Items you need for this step:

	1	y plate left
	1	y plate right
	14	M5 nylon insert lock nut
	2	Y inner side plate
	14	V wheel assembly from previous step
	14	M5 low profile 65mm screw
	12	eccentric spacer 6mm
	6	3mm aluminium spacer
	8	6mm aluminium spacer
	24	9mm aluminium spacer
	28	precision shim

 

Now; watch the orientation of the Y axis plate: contrary to the assembly instructions of leadscrew-based workbee, the indent / countersunk should point to the outside (thus away from the side where you will put the wheels):

 

Then, use 65mm screws, spacers, precision shims, v wheels assembly, to attach the wheels and to attach the inner plates:

Please not the difference between the bottom row with wheels, and the top row. Also note that this is a difference compared to the leadscrew build instructions.
