| + | [title] Right smooth rod alignment - MK2(S)/MK2.5(S) |
| [* 9] Take your time with this step. | |
| [* 8] Move the Y carriage, backwards and forwards along the whole length of the Y axis, at least 6 times. This will align the right smooth rod (single LM8UU side). | |
| [* 5] Move the Y carriage to the front and tighten the screws for the right-front ''y_rod_holder'' ***evenly, incrementally and in turn***. | |
| [* 7] Move the Y carriage to the back and tighten the screws for the right-back ''y_rod_holder'' ***evenly, incrementally and in turn***. | |
| [* 2] Never use the ''build_helper_y'' with the right smooth rod, it is made to ***align left smooth rod only*** (dual LM8UU side). | |
| [* 11] Tech tip: If you have a 200mm caliper you can measure the distance from the smooth rods directly on the metal. The spacing of the smooth rods is 170mm, the diameter of smooth rods is 8mm, which means the external spacing you should measure will be 170 + 2*8/2 = 178mm. |
