Assembly - Summary
Assemble triangles
Assemble horizontal rods
Put them together
Assembly - Step-by-Step
Parts for one triangle. Put a clamp on one rod with a washer and a nut on both sides. Don't screw it tight; you'll need to adjust the position later. Put a nut and a washer on each side of each rod.
Complete triangle. Put the trangle together. Make sure the clamp goes between the footed vertices and the feet are both on one edge of the triangle.
Repeat for the other triangle.
Top base rods.Assemble the two top base rods, which will go through the top holes of the footed vertices. The image shows the pieces for one rod, and another rod assembled.
Top rods.Assemble the top rods.
Bottom base rods.Assemble the bottom base rods.
Attach the horizontal rods to between the triangles. The bottom frame rod with the nuts and washers on it is the front of the machine. The extruder will be on the left of the top rods, so leave more space there than on the right.
