X-Axis Assembly Installation
Insert the x-axis assembly through the right side of the engraver, taking care to clear the carriage assembly through the opening without damage.
Once fully inserted, place the x-axis assembly onto the y-axis bearing blocks. On the y-axis bearing blocks is a locating pin that ensures the correct placement on the x-axis assembly. These pins fit into an opening on both the left and right side of the x-axis assembly.
Install and/or tighten the four 5/32” fasteners that secure the x-axis assembly to the y-axis bearings. There are two on the right side and two on the left side.

Reconnect the seven (7) electrical connectors from the drive board. The electrical connectors on the drive board are all unique and as such, will only fit into one receptacle.
Replace the x-axis motor drive board cover and tighten the 4 screws securing it.
Reconnect the left and right bellows on both sides of the machine and tighten the six 5/16” nuts which secure them in place.
Install the lens tube by tightening the Phillips screw on the retaining collar which secures it, ensuring that it does not fall.

Plug in and power on the machine.
After installation of a new x-axis assembly, confirm the home position is accurate and recalibrate it if needed.
