[title] Left smooth rod alignment
[* 9] Take your time with this step, it could affect the alignment of the heatbed later.
-[* 3] Clip 1x Y smooth rod (330m long).
-[* 5] Loosen the 4x M5x12 screws so that the ''y_rod_holders'' move freely.
-[* 7] With the help of the y_build_helper, adjust the position of the front ''y_rod_holder''. Tighten strongly once alignment is correct.
- [* 9] Make sure the tool is correctly in contact with the smooth rods and the extrusion.
-[* 2] Repeat to the back of the Y axis
-[* 9] Verify again front and back alignment of the smooth rods. You might need to repeat adjustment to make it perfect.
+[* 3] Clip 1x Y smooth rod (330m long) into the y-rod holders, on the left hand side.
+[* 5] Loosen the 4x M5x12 screws so that the ''y_rod_holders'' move easily.
+[* 7] Using the ''y_build_helper'', adjust the position of the front ''y_rod_holder''. Once the alignment is correct, fully tighten the M5x12 screws.
+ [* 9] Make sure the ''y_build_helper'' is correctly seated against the extrusion and is in contact with the smooth rod.
+[* 2] Using the same ''y_build_helper'', adjust and tighten the rear y-rod holder.
+[* 9] Carefully check the alignment of the front and rear of the smooth rods. You may need to repeat the adjustment to get them perfectly aligned.
