Prepare printed parts +- Prepare all printed parts so that they are fully assembled and can be mounted to the frame afterwards +- Add all bearings, screws, shafts, nuts and pulley +- As there are so maney different configs you have to check and use the CAD files to assemble everything + +### Used Parts: +- All parts flaged with MAKE +- Screws, bearings, idler, pulley, nuts + +## 2. Build Frame +- Now we start bulding the main frame +- We will start from the bottom and build the first square +- Be sure to attach the L-joints in the extrusion + - 2 in the X-Axis + - 1 per side in the Y-Axis + +### Used Parts: +- Corner Brackets +- 3030 M6 T-Nut +- M6x12 Screws +- L-Joints +- Extrusion + +![](/images/assembly/frame.png) + +## 3. Add Z-Parts +- Screw the Z-Rails onto the extrusion +- Screw motor mounts to the extrusion +- Drop in both Z front extrusions +- Drop in the Z back "T" shaped +- Be sure to drop in the T-Nuts for ballscrew top mounts + - 2x M5 T-Nut - X-Axis - facing inside of the printer + +### Used Parts: +- Corner Brackets +- M6 T-Nut +- M6x12 Screws +- MGN12 Rails +- 3030 M3 T-Nut +- 3030 M5 T-Nut +- Z Motor mounts + +![](/images/assembly/zaxis.png) + +## 4. Add Y-Layer +- Screw linear rails an extrusion +- Slide in both extrusions +- The L-Joints are below the Rails - screw the L-Joint trough the wholes from the rail +- Be sure to drop in the T-Nuts for Y motor mounts and ballscrew top mounts + - 2x M5 T-Nut both Y-Axis facing inside of the printer + - 1x M6 T-Nut both Y-Axis facing inside of the printer + - 2x M6 T-Nut both Y-Axis facing outside of the printer +- Slide in Y Motors and Idlers from the top + +### Used Parts: +- M6 T-Nut +- 3030 M5 T-Nut +- M6x14 Screw +- MGN12 Rails with +- L-Joints +- Y Motors and Idlers +- M6x12 Screws + +![](/images/assembly/yaxis.png) + +## 5.

Add Ballscrews and Printbed +- Add the ballscrews with wobble rings and mount them with the top idlers +- Atach the bed square to the ballscrews + +### Used Parts +- M3x10 Screw +- M5x12 Screw +- Z Top Idlers +- Ballscrews +- Wobble Rings +- Bed Square with Alu plate + +## 7. Assemble X-Gantry and Mount +- Check the video made by MirageC on how to assemble the CFx X-Gantry + + + +### Used Parts: +- M3x10 Screw +- Extrusion / Carbon Fibre Tube +- Linear Rail +- Printed Parts +- Belt + +## 8.
