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

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.
Using your hands, squeeze all the waste board parts together such that the waste board slates and t slot extrusions are all touching one another.
Line up the front of each panel with the front edge of the black extrusion. Secure each panel in place.
Tighten the button head screws attached through the waste board slats with a 3mm hex key.
Tighten the button head screws at the center of each waste board slat.
Repeat this for all four of the MDF slats, ensuring that all of the screws attaching the waste board slats are tight and aligned. Using a 2.5mm hex key, tighten the 3 screws on each tee track.

Slide each extrusion bracket into the ends of the 958mm extrusion and secure using a 3mm hex key, ensuring the bracket is aligned to the end of the extrusion. Insert a tee nut into the top channel of each 958mm extrusion per the image below.
Slide the rear 1000mm extrusion across the back of the machine and onto the angle brackets.
Secure the rear 1000mm extrusion by tightening the angle brackets. Be sure to check that the extrusions are perpendicular to each other and that the extrusion brackets are tight to each extrusion. If centered properly, there should be about a ~1in gap on either end of the extrusion.

Slide 2 flat washers onto each M5x12mm button head screw.
Using a 3mm hex key, secure the MDF back board to the tee nuts, ensuring that the washers are laying on top of the back board.
If 2 washers prevent the M5x12mm screw from threading, you may only need 1 washer instead. Do not try to use a longer screw.

Press the extrusion brackets into each corner and ensure they are contacting both the black and silver extrusions.
Using a 3mm hex key, tighten the screws on the extrusion brackets.
Your waste board frame is now complete and should like the below picture.
Do not use the tapped 20mm x 20mm extrusion that comes with your Drag Chain kit. This additional extrusion has threaded holes in either end and will be used on a later step.
In this section you'll be assembling the work area of your machine.
