Line up the extrusions as in picture and fasten those together using
M4x45 bolts and M5 spring washers. The parts needed for this
assembly are found from A-01 bag and A-01 slot.
Give special attention for right orientation of the profiles and the
round slots. Those round slots are meant to countersunk bolts so
that bolt head will be hidden.

Prepare the Y axis idler and motor plate as shown in the following
pictures. Leave the M5 bolts with T-nuts loose until the parts will be
installed to the frame. The parts for these steps are found from slot
A-03 and bag A-03
Prepare the front panel as shown and then slide it in frame, you can
find these items from slot A-02 and A-02 bag.

Slide the bed in extrusion and install idler plate in the end of extrusion
as shown. Then slide carriage in frame and use the key to adjust the
eccentric nuts so that carriage is snug fit to rails and carriage moves
smoothly. In the end tighten the M5 nuts gently.
Assemble the bed carriage as in picture. Tighten the two bolts which
have 6mm spacers gently but leave the two eccentric nut bolts
slightly loose so that eccentric nuts turn easily. The parts for this step
are found from B-02 slot and B-02 bag.
Install the X axis motor bracket and endstop in place and tighten the
bolts.

controller to middle extrusion as shown.
Install the M5x8 bolts and T-nuts as shown. Slide the PSU in extrusion
as far as it goes and tighten the bolts.
Loop the GT2 belt around idler and motor pulley and connect both
ends to slots in heatbed carriage with zipties. Last step is to tighten
the belt which can be done by loosening slightly two M5 bolts hold-
ing idler plate in extrusion and sliding idler plate so that belt tightens
and then tightening the bolts again.
