[title] Ensure a smooth axis movement
[* 10] While the second linear rail remains loose, the Y plate should move smoothly without resistance. If you experience any binding or drag, slightly loosen the carriage screws, as they may be overtightened.
[* 9] Be careful to ensure that the Y joiner plate carriages do not detach from the linear rail during the process.
[* 2] Move the Y joiner fully to the front as demonstrated. Then, gradually move it toward the back, exposing one linear rail screw at a time, and tighten each screw as you progress.
[* 3] Ensure that all linear rail screws are tightened from front to back. Avoid overtightening, as this may cause binding and restrict movement.
-[* 10] MGN15 Rails should be tightened to 98 N-cm of torque, overtightening the screws will result in rail binging.
+[* 10] MGN15 Rails should be tightened to 98 N-cm of torque, overtightening the screws will result in rail binding.
[* 4] Move the Y plate assembly slightly back to gain access to the last screws on the linear rail.
[* 11] At this stage, the joiner plate should move back and forth smoothly. Test its movement to ensure it operates freely. If you encounter any resistance, adjust the screw tension as needed until the assembly moves without friction.
