Do: Clear a bench at least 700 × 700 mm. Lay the four Ch 04 sub-assemblies out, drives at the top, idlers at the bottom. Keep the A drive on the right and the B drive on the left.
Check
Four Ch 04 assemblies, each matching its CHECK YOUR WORK page: p.68 and p.72 idlers, p.76 and p.80 drives. All four spin freely.
What you're looking at
The gantry is the moving frame above the bed that carries the toolhead: a rectangle of extrusions whose X beam slides along two side rails. The page shows it finished, so you can see where the four Ch 04 sub-assemblies land at the corners.
