Hope your build goes well and gives you a lot of fun putting it together.

It actually is kind of fun seeing it come together as I go through the build.

Quick note about the nuts, if they don't go in from one side of the piece I found it often will slide in better from the other side.

I didn't get any progress pics of Stage 3, but it is fairly easy to do. For Stage 4 I started with these:
First I peeled the backing off, then inserted the nuts. Specific to these two (Small bracket plates), I did NOT need glue, as the fit was tight. This is where my note comes into play, these were still a tight fit from either side. Anyway that's what happened to me, yours may differ.

In the above image I have set the bracket subassembly on the bottom panel, to get it level so that I can tighten the screws. Don't forget to put washers on!

The Bottom panel, before 'the peel'. You can probably figure out where the bracket subassembly will go. Make sure to align everything properly, to ensure a successful build. In the following image note the location of the four holes, in relation to the bracket subassembly. this is what I'm talking about, aligning everything properly. The build guides instruct about this at every step.

yeah I saw that in your diary. I should have done that, it's a good tip. totally forgot
I don't hink I have anymore peeling to do though. I'm almost ready to do pack 4

you've got great pictures on your build! I'll be happy for any assist you could provide, thanks
I hope fitting that stuff in won't test my patience too much lol

yes, I agree about the pictures, there was one in the guide that confused me, but the other pictures helped.

And here is Stage 5. I should probably have paced myself a bit, because as I catch up with the packs I have received, I will have to wait for the next one arrive :-/
Here are the components for Stage 5, installing a cooling fan.

getting the fan guard in place…

hold it in place and get the cooling fan in place. The cable should go to the bottom right

I think my old MRC-Tamiya spanner will come in handy during the build. I recall another build diary is using one as well. It's from an old RC kit

Stage 6, install the noise filter. It will be installed on the same panel as the cooling fan, above.
Components-

in it goes, don't forget to washer your screws! Also check to see if any washers have stuck together. This only happened to me once so far. I thought I was short one washer, but nope. There are spares included in a later step, but luckily I was not missing any.

This spanner is included in pack 03 with a 2mm Allen key

I don't seem to have pictures of the limit switch install. Maybe I didn't upload them. Anyway this is the completed panel of Pack 02, Stage 7. If you're at this point and have Pack 03 ready, don't put this panel away just yet, if you decide to keep building.

Looking good

Pack 03, Stage 8: Adding the z-axis limit switch and a reinforcing plate
Components:

Build-
Insert the screws in the switch

Don't forget the washers!

fasten to the back panel, noise filter to bottom left


Next, attach the reinforcing plate--Turn the rear panel over so that the cooling fan is at lower left, noise filter to the right



Keep panel safe!

Good to see you progressing with this one.

It starts to get interesting when the box is constructed, so hope to see another update soon.

Stage 10: Tightening the nuts and fitting the assembly jig. Sorry not a lot of pictures for this step.

Pack 04, Stage 12: attach a timing pulley to a Y-axis slider rod.

There could be about 1cm to 2 cm between the toothed end and the end of the rod




It will look like this when the step is completed. This will be repeated in upcoming stages.
