Step 1. Assemble the V-wheels
| Item | Part Number | Part Description | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| For each wheel | |||
| 1 | MW1 | V-wheel sleeve | 1 |
| 2 | G5 | 5 × 16 × 5 mm bearing | 2 |
| 3 | W5Pa | 5 mm precision washer | 1 |
Lay one bearing on a flat surface. Push a V-wheel sleeve over it. The parts are designed to force-fit, so push firmly straight down. Thread this on a long M5 bolt, bearing side first, followed by a precision washer and the second bearing. Place the second bearing on a flat surface, and push the V-wheel sleeve over it too. Make sure both bearings are in as far as they will go. Remove the bolt.
If the V-wheel does not rotate smoothly, see Troubleshooting.
Step 2. Assemble the idler wheels
| Item | Part Number | Part Description | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| For each wheel | |||
| 1 | MW2 | Smooth idler wheel sleeve | 1 |
| 2 | G5 | 5 × 16 × 5 mm bearing | 2 |
| 3 | W5Pa | 5 mm precision washer | 1 |
Lay one bearing on a flat surface. Push an idler wheel sleeve over it (lip up, of course). The parts are designed to force-fit, so push firmly straight down. Thread this on a long M5 bolt, lip side first, followed by a precision washer and the second bearing. Place the second bearing on a flat surface, and push the idler wheel sleeve over it too. Make sure the bearings are all the way in, with the first bearing resting against the lip of the sleeve. Remove the bolt.
If the idler wheel does not rotate smoothly, see Troubleshooting.
Step 3. Mount the motor
| Count | Part Number | Part Description | Material | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EM-LMB | Motor bracket | 4mm aluminium | |
| 1 | EM-BP5 | 18-tooth MXL pulley 5mm bore | aluminium, polycarbonate | |
| 4 | EM-W3 | M3 washer (form A) | stainless steel | |
| 4 | EM-S3-8 | M3 8mm cap screw | stainless steel |
Attach the motor to the motor bracket using four M3 screws. Install the belt pulley, but do not tighten the grub screw fully yet.
