Parts:

  • one complete _a drive · already on the bench
  • one _a motor and mount assembly · already on the bench

Do:

  1. Find the front-left corner from the FRONT tape; lay an _a drive and motor assembly beside it.
  2. Dry-fit first: retainer face toward the motor's extrusion, counterbore face outboard over the side rail, 16T in line with the 80T.

check Check

An _a drive and motor dry-fitted at front-left: retainer face toward the motor's extrusion, counterbore face outboard over the side rail, baseplate up.

What you're looking at

Manual p.40: the highlighted corner is Z0, front-left. The mirror hand of the printed parts decides which corner an assembly fits, so the drive and motor mount are matched to the corner before a single bolt goes in.

tip Tip

If the dry-fit only works with the _b parts, the map is reversed. Swap every _a for _b for the rest of the chapter and write that in the build log.
