Tip - you can use an empty egg carton to keep track of hardware as you work through the assembly process

Insert the M5x10mm Button Head Screws into the extrusion bracket as shown. Loosely thread a tee nut onto the end of each screw. On the side of the extrusion bracket (gusset) that has 2 holes, thread the M5x10mm Button Head Screw through the hole that's furthest from the corner.

Slide the extrusion bracket (gusset) onto the shorter of the 2 extrusions (26049-04 958mm long

Slide the longer of the 2 black extrusions (26049-02, 1000mm long) through the other side of the extrusion bracket (gusset).

You should have 2 makerslides (Y1 and Y2) and 1 wide makerslide (X). The 20mm extrusions may be packed with the makerslide. You'll need to slide them off to separate them or gently tap them with a rubber mallet. Be careful not to damage the v-groove.

Use one waste board extrusion and one waste board tee track to set the correct location of the 1000mm rail. Then use a 3mm hex key to secure the extrusion bracket (gusset) to each extrusion.

If you did not order a waste board kit, you can set this spacing by measuring 1.25" / 32mm

Thread one screw into each nut, as shown below.

Slide screws with tee nuts into the top extrusion slots, as shown. Two screws should be slid into the 1000mm extrusion, and 1 screw should be slid into the 958mm extrusion. You will have to slide it into the 958mm extrusion from the back.

Modular Waste Board Slat

Align the MDF slat with the edges of the base extrusions, then secure it in place by tightening the three screws.

MDF may have slight variations in thickness. If you are unable to fully tighten all of the screws to secure your wasteboard slat, we've included some M5 Flat washers (25287-XX FLWM5S - Flat Washer M5) that you can use to secure your boards to the frame. Do not substitute the M5 x 12 mm screws, as this may result in shortages further in the build

Loosely thread 3 M5x12mm Button Head Screws with 3 M5 Tee Nuts. Slide 2 of the Screws and Tee Nuts through one of the 898mm extrusions and 1 through the other extrusion as picture below.

Coming from the left side, slide the extrusion with screw and tee nut into the middle of the waste board slat as pictured below, ensuring that it is touching the black extrusion on the other side of the waste board slat.

Slide the other extrusion with the 2 screws and tee nuts along the top side of the waste board slat, ensuring the silver extrusion is perpendicular to the black extrusion on the right side. Tighten the screws to the waste board slats using a 3mm hex key.

If needed, you can find additional M5 Pre-Assembly Tee Nuts in the Spare Parts Kit.

Each section of tee track has 5 holes drilled in it. We will be installing oversized washers on the second and fourth holes, as shown below.

Use a 2.5mm hex key to insert the M4 x 10mm button head screw into the appropriate hole of the tee track.

Add an oversized washer onto the screw, then an M4 Nylon nut.

Tighten using your 2.5mm hex key with a 7mm wrench. Repeat this for the second and fourth hole in each of the three tee tracks.
