+==== Assemble the Motor Plate ====
+  * 1x Acrylic Motor Plate
+  * 3x Stepper Motors
+  * 2x Toothed gears
+  * 1x M5x12 spacer
+  * 1x M5xM8 Flex Coupler
+{{ :buildone:img_0365_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Place the motors under the plate with it oriented as shown, notice the biggest square hole is on the right when the motors are at the top.
+{{ :buildone:img_0366_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Secure each motor using 4x M3x8 screws each
+{{ :buildone:img_0371_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Place the toothed gears on the two outside motors in the positions shown - first the motor next to the largest square hole:
+{{ :buildone:img_0367_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}

+Attach the small holed side of the flex couple to the center motor as shown.
+{{ :buildone:img_0369_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+==== Assemble the Cube ====
+The the left side (with the mainboard PCB and spool holder on it) and the back (with the power supply on it).
+Place them together as shown and attach to each other using the corner brackets that are on the left side panel, using M3x10 screws and M3 nuts.
+{{ :buildone:img_0430_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0431_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Be careful with them in this stage - pushing on either can break the panels.
+Connect the black and white 4 pin power cable between the mainboard PCB, through the cutout and to the Power Supply PCB as shown
+{{ :buildone:img_0433_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0434_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Next, separately take the other side (right side) and the front panel and connect them as shown using the corner brackets already attached to the right side and the M3x10 screws and M3 nuts. Set this aside.
+{{ :buildone:img_0435_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0436_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Now go back to the left side/back panel assembly and find the triangular pieces shown and insert them into the back panel - the shorter of the two notched sides goes into the back panel.
+{{ :buildone:img_0437_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0438_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Take the motor plate and angle it down toward the back plate while gently putting it on to the triangular pieces you just put in place. This may take a few tries - it should go onto those and the taps on the back and side of the motor plate should fit in the slots on the back and side plates.
+{{ :buildone:img_0439_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Secure this to the two upper corner brackets on the left side/back panel. Using M3x10 screws and M3 nuts.
+{{ :buildone:img_0442_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0441_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Now put the other half of the cube together with this half by sliding it into place carefully, ensuring the motor plate tabs go into the slots on the right side and front plates - this may take a few tries, take it slowly and carefully, it will fit together snug but without force.
+{{ :buildone:img_0443_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Attach the right side to the back using the two corner brackets on the back of the right side. Using M3x10 screws and M3 nuts.
+{{ :buildone:img_0444_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Attach the left side to the front using the two corner brackets on the front of the left side. Using M3x10 screws and M3 nuts.
+Then attach the motor plate to the remaining two corner brackets. Everything should now fit together and be secured.
+{{ :buildone:img_0445_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0446_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Use the 4 pin header cable to plug the Display into the Mainboard (labeled display) - aligning the colors of the cable as shown.
+{{ :buildone:img_0450_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+==== Installing the Heated Bed / Z axis ====
+Get the Z axis / heatbed assembly that you assembled previously, the shorter of the two networking cables, and the two shorter metal axis rods.
+{{ :buildone:img_0456_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Plug the shorter of the two networking cables into the bottom socket on the mainboard as shown. Then plug into the bottom of the heated bed (place the heated bed inside the printer to make this easy).
+{{ :buildone:img_0455_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0457_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Now feed to two metal axis down through the holes in the motor plate on either side of the center motor. Put the heatbed at the back of the printer and feed the two axis down through that and into the brackets at the bottom of the back plate. Tighten these brackets with the largest hex key.
+{{ :buildone:img_0459_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0458_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Now, with the heat bed pushed to the top, from below the heat bed screw the leadscrew into the leadscrew nut on the heat bed, continue to screw it in until it can go into the coupler on the center motor. When it is all the way into that coupler back it up about one turn so it is not pressing tightly into that coupler.
+{{ :buildone:img_0460_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0461_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0462_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+==== Installing the Y Axis ====
+Take the previously assembled X axis, the remaining two metal axis rods, and the remaining 4 retaining rings.
+{{ :buildone:img_0463_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Feed one of the axis rods through the hole on the front of the printer - through the bearing on the X axis assembly (oriented so the hot end is facing the back of the printer) and through the matching hole on the back of the printer.
+{{ :buildone:img_0465_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Place the retaining rings on the axis on the front and back of the printer and tighten the set screws.
+{{ :buildone:img_0466_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Repeat for the other axis.
+{{ :buildone:img_0468_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0467_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0469_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+==== Assemble the Belt Idlers ====
+x M5x45mm screws (all of them)
+x M5 nuts
+x Toothed Idlers
+x M5x12mm spacers (5 shown in photo, only 3 needed)
+x M5x3mm spacers
+x narrow Acrylic corner idlers supports
+x wide Acrylic corner idlers supports
+{{ :buildone:img_0470_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+In the two front corners - slide the two wide corner idler support plates in through the slot just above the Y axis shaft. The holes in the motor plate above them should line up with the holes in the support plates, if not flip them over and reinsert them.
+Then slide the narrow support plates in from the front of the two side panels so they overlap and the holes line up with the other support plates you just put in. They narrow plates should be underneath the wide plates. If the holes don't line up flip the support plates and reinsert.
+{{ :buildone:img_0471_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+On the corner side that DOES NOT have the display or mainboard, take a M5x45 screw and insert it through the hole closest to the corner in the bottom of the support plates (reaching inside the printer to do this), as it comes up through the two support plates put a M5x3mm spacer on it and a toothed idler, then push it up through the motor plate and put a M5 nut on it, do not tighten yet more than a turn or two to keep it on.
+{{ :buildone:img_0472_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+On the same corner insert a M5x45 screw into the other hole through the bottom of the support plates, as it comes up through the two support plates put a M5x12mm spacer on it and a toothed idler and then a M5x3mm spacer, then push it up through the motor plate and put a M5 nut on it, tighten gently and leave less then finger tight. You can tighten the other nut down as well now, also just short of finger tight.
+{{ :buildone:img_0473_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+{{ :buildone:img_0474_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+Now on the corner side that DOES have the display and mainboard, take a M5x45 screw and insert it through the hole closest to the corner in the bottom of the support plates (reaching inside the printer to do this), as it comes up through the two support plates put a M5x12mm spacer on it and a toothed idler, then push it up through the motor plate and put a M5 nut on it, do not tighten yet more than a turn or two to keep it on.
+{{ :buildone:img_0475_large_-_copy.jpg?direct&300 |}}
+On the same corner insert a M5x45 screw into the other hole through the bottom of the support plates, as it comes up through the two support plates put a M5x3mm spacer on it and a toothed idler and then a M5x12mm spacer, then push it up through the motor plate and put a M5 nut on it, tighten gently and leave less then finger tight. You can tighten the other nut down as well now, also just short of finger tight.
