      Insert the assembly near the

      Z stepper motor and hand

      tighten it with another M8 nut.

     

     

    Set the Z Home position

    1. Drive the Z leadscrew up manually until the heatbed hits the extruder nozzle.
    2. Set the Z endstop assembly height using the two M8 nuts which mounts it to the frame.
      Make sure the endstop just clicks at the current position then tighten the nuts.
    3. Drive the Z leadscrew down and up manually and make sure the Z endstop clicks just (about 0.1-0.2mm) before the bed hits the nozzle.

      If you haven't set the height

      perfectly now, you can re-calibrate it later.

      Make sure the Z endstop engages

      before the bed drives further into the nozzle!
