Parts:

  • 5×60 mm shaft ×1 · Motion box
  • GT2 20T 9 mm pulley ×1 · Motion box
  • M4×4 set screws ×2 (pre-threadlocked) · Fasteners, Tools & Misc box

Do:

  1. Slide the 20T pulley on so 33 mm of shaft protrudes on the long side.
  2. Rotate until you see the D-cut flat down a set-screw hole.
  3. Fit both set screws with a hex driver, not a ball-end.

check Check

One set-screw hole showed the flat before the screws went in; 33 mm from the long shaft end to the pulley's near flange.

What you're looking at

Manual p.32: the Z drive's shaft assembly. The 5 × 60 mm shaft is the drive's axle; the 20T pulley is what the long Z belt runs over. A set screw is a headless screw that clamps a pulley to a shaft.

Caution

Rev D+ / LDO: the kit's M4×4 set screws arrive with threadlocker pre-applied — do not add more. If a screw has clearly been used before or has no visible compound, add Loctite 243 and keep it off the printed parts. src
