Chassis Sub-Assembly and Final Assembly.
It all comes together in the end.
So, as I mentioned earlier, I had a couple of friends speed along the final assembly, and I did not get any pictures of our steps.
All I can say is that things went together rather smoothly, per the instructions.
The one thing that did have us off-balance was the YIDLER Sub-sub-assembly. There is a little tab on the YIDLERGUARDs, and the question is: When the YIDLER Sub-sub-assembly is installed, do these little tabs point up or down? The photos in the instructions show them pointing down, but we believe that they should be pointing up.
The tabs extend a little further than the other end extends, and it appears that the purpose of the tabs is to help hold the build surface in alignment.
The only other issue that we had was installing the SIDEPLATEs. Once one SIDEPLATE was on, it held the assembly kind of rigid, and did not allow much "wiggle" to mount the opposite SIDEPLATE. Rob grabbed a file, and started filing on the assembly tabs just slightly in order to force the whole thing to come together.
Also, leveling the build surface (again) is done with the nut. Why isn't the nut super glued or epoxied in place, and the adjustments done from the screw head end with the hex key? I may take vengeance with 2-part epoxy on the leveling nuts when epoxying the adjustment nut for the extruder assembly.
Everything came together well, and we now have a OneUp V2 printer.
Now, all we need are electronics to make it go.
