¶ Secure the Gantry and Base
Place the Gantry upright on the table. Make sure to move the bottom cables aside to avoid pinching them when installing the base.
Remove all tape from the base. Tilt the base at a 45° angle and insert it into the gantry. Align the grooves on both sides, then lower it into place and ensure it is properly installed.

Take the shorter screws from the accessory kit and use a Hex wrench (H2.0) to fasten both sides of the gantry.

 |
Move the Heated Bed to the front of the machine. Use a Hex wrench (H2.5) to install the longer screws into the six screw holes as shown. Then move the Heated Bed to the rear and install the remaining two screws.

After connecting, route the cables into the cable slots, close the Base Cover, and return the machine to its upright position.
