+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.

+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.

+==== 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.

+==== 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.
