Building the lower platform[edit | edit source]
- Take 1 M3 x 35mm and put 1 washer on it. Insert it into one of the two holes opposite the motor mount.
- Slide the screw through the hole in the platform spacer. make sure the flat part is down.
- Place another motor end on the screw after the platform spacer, followed by 1 washer and 1 ny-lock nut. Do not tighten the nut all the way, keep the nut loose, in order to attach the other two platform spacers. Repeat steps 1-3 for the rest of the motor mounts and spacers. Once complete, tighten all the screws and nuts.
