First, you need to do a few cleanups on the printed extruder drive. This is the main body with two 608ZZ ball bearings already installed. We recomment to ream out all the small holes with a 4mm drill.
Slide the two M4x60 bolts in with the head into the hexagonal pockets on the main body. Make sure they are diagonally. If these are too tight to fit, use a wing nut to tighten it from the other side. Don't use excessive force.

This is the idler. Put a 608ZZ ball bearing onto a M8x20 grub screw and push it into the slot. We recommend to ream out the small holes with a 4mm drill. |

Insert two long distance bolts through two bottom holes. Tighten them with M4 hexagonal nuts. If you have, we recommend to put a bit of bolt lock onto the nuts.
This picture also shows the idler installed. Slide the idler over the two M4x60 bolts, put a spring and a wing nut on it. |

Loosely mount the Nema 17 motor onto the body by screwing in 4 M4x8 bolts through the long holes. We need to find out the optimal position for the gears, yet, so make sure the bolts are into the threads on the body |

Insert the hobbed bolt into the big gear. Insert that into the two bearings on the main extruder block. Then find the small gear. If you haven't already, carefully ream it out with a 5,0mm drill bit. Then, mount it onto the motor shaft. Slide the motor with the small gear attached towards the big gear and try to move it by hand. If you push it too much, it will provide a resitance. When happy, secure the bolts on the motor. First, secure the two that are accessable with the gears attached... |

... then take both gears off and tighten the other two bolts. |

Push the small white PTFE tube with the funnel-like opening into the extruder block. |
