+[title] Y smooth rods installation
[* 3] Gently insert 2x Y axis smooth rods (330mm long).
[* 9] Don't force during insertion.
[* 9] Don't rotate the smooth rods, the LM8UU bearings are not made to rotate.
[* 5] Loosen the M5 screws of the 2x right ''y_rod_holders''. You should be able to slide them freely by hands.
[* 7] Clip the Y smooth rods and carriage assembly on the ''y_rod_holders''. The Single bearing should be to the right.
[* 2] Verify the marker of the carriage is correctly positioned. If this is not the case, verify your assembly with the previous steps.
[* 9] It is very important to have the LM8UU bearings correctly oriented as well as the marker or you will have issue later in the assembly.
