Step 3 - Base Assembly Preparation

Locate 4 Corner Plates with no identifiers or logos. Insert an M5 x 8mm BHCS in all 7 holes and fasten loosely with T-nuts. (DSC_0929)

Locate 4 Triangle Braces. Insert 2 M5 x 12mm BHCS in each Triangle Brace, use 2 M5 washers per BHCS. Loosely fasten a T-nut on the opposite end. (DSC_0935)

Locate 2 Cross rails (33.5” extrusion that has 2 tapped holes on each side ). Note: DO NOT use Cross rails with “Gigabot” label until instructed to. This will be the bottom/back Cross portion of the frame. (DSC_0925)

Step 4 - Base Assembly - Rear/Lower Rail

Install 2 Corner Plates to each end of of one Cross rail (this will be the rear/lower cross rail) Slide in Corner Plate with T-nuts loosened, ensure edges are lined up, bracket edges are flush with the bottom and end of each rail … fasten down the bolts to secure. (DSC_0931)

Insert 2 T-nuts in what will be the top channel of rail (DSC_0934)Secure for temporarily with 2 M5 x12mm BHCS and 2 M5 washers per BHCS . (These will be used later to fasten vertical rails that hold the power box)

Fasten Triangle Brace to each end of rail (lower channel). Place near end and keep T-nuts loose for now to allow for adjustment (DSC_0937)

Step 5 - Base Assembly – Rear / Lower Cross Rail Panduit Installation

Preparation for Side Platte Assemblies Locate 2 Side Plates and observe orientation of bolt hole patterns. (see pictures) Locate 2 Common Rails Locate 2 12” Panduit pieces (shallow Panduit)

On each side plate insert 4 M5 x 8mm BHCS, loosely put on T-nuts (see pic). The 4 BHCS should be inserted in opposing directions on each plate (see pic for orientation of front

Slide 1 common rail on what will be inside of each side plate. Center the rail.

Install Panduit on each side rail - Fasten 2 M5x 8mm BHCSs and 2 T-nuts to the Panduit piece. With BHCSs loose slide the Panduit to the top, inside channel of the rail. DO NOT tighten bolts at this time. Repeat for other side.

Insert 2 T-nuts into the top channel of each Common Rail installed on the side plates (see pic).

Step 6 - Base Assembly – Side Plate/Rail Preparation

Preparation for Side Platte Assemblies Locate 2 Side Plates and observe orientation of bolt hole patterns. (see pictures) Locate 2 Common Rails Locate 2 12” Panduit pieces (shallow Panduit)

On each side plate insert 4 M5 x 8mm BHCS, loosely put on T-nuts (see pic). The 4 BHCS should be inserted in opposing directions on each plate (see pic for orientation of front

Slide 1 common rail on what will be inside of each side plate. Center the rail.

Install Panduit on each side rail - Fasten 2 M5x 8mm BHCSs and 2 T-nuts to the Panduit piece. With BHCSs loose slide the Panduit to the top, inside channel of the rail. DO NOT tighten bolts at this time. Repeat for other side.

Insert 2 T-nuts into the top channel of each Common Rail installed on the side plates (see pic).

Step 7 - Base Assembly – Front/Lower Cross Rail Preparation

Orient each slide rail on table and connect with the Front/Back Cross Rail assembled in Step X

With all BHCSs still loose in corner, square the corner and screw in 2 M5 x 12mm BHCSs on each end of the Cross rail. (these are the 2 tapped holes on each end of the rail)

Assemble Front/Lower Cross Rail (using parts already located) Install 2 Corner Plates to each end of Cross rail - Slide in Corner Plate with T-nuts loosened, ensure edges are lined up, bracket edges are flush with the bottom and end of each rail … fasten down the bolts to secure.

Fasten Triangle Brace to each end of rail (lower channel). Place near end and keep T-nuts loose for now to allow for adjustment
