| - | You may have to adjust the height of the nuts to clear the edges of the channel. Tap the piece in a little at a time, so that you don't accidentally tap on it when a nut is caught against the end of the extrusion. Make sure there is never any gap between the bottom face of the extrusion (the face with two slots) and the plastic part; it must be flush. | + | You may have to adjust the height of the nuts to clear the edges of the channel. |

| - | Do the same thing with the Y back end, but first, insert one M5x8mm button-head screw into each of the slots on the bottom of the extrusion and move them toward the middle. These will be used later to attach the Y axis to the frame bottom. If you forget them, you will have to disassemble the Y axis to put them in. | + | Next, prepare the hardware that will attach the Y axis to the frame bottom. Get two M5x8mm button-head screws and screw one nut on each, just until the nut is flush with the end of the screw. Slide the head of one screw into one of the channels on the bottom of the extrusion, and then slide the head of the other screw into the other channel. Move them toward the middle, then insert the Y back end into the extrusion. |

| While installing the Y back end, be careful that you don't damage the endstop or its wires, if you have already installed it. | While installing the Y back end, be careful that you don't damage the endstop or its wires, if you have already installed it. | ||
