You'll need the (remaining) parts from Pack 7, and the belt anchor plates from Pack 6. If you have a kit with a NEMA23 motor on the X axis, you will find both types of belt anchor in Pack 6; only one pair is needed, depending on how you opted to install your X motor and belt idler wheels.

You also need the assembled X and Y carriages, and the X rail.

== Belt on top (configurations A, E, F) ==

Bolt the assembled Y carriages to the X MakerSlide using four screws each. The screws holding the rear
X rail also attach the belt anchors. Orient the belt anchor so that the rectangular opening is offset toward the rear of the machine.

This is a good time to square the Z axis. Assemble this on a flat surface and use a set square to ensure that the X carriage is vertical. Do this with the X carriage near each Y motor plate, to make sure both ends are square. Tighten the screws firmly.

== Belt on the side (configurations B, C, D) ==
