Do: Repeat Steps 05.10–05.12 on the second C extrusion, both rails facing the same way. Then slide two M5 T-nuts into each end of each C extrusion, eight in total, into the slot on the face opposite the rail.
Check
Two rails equally centred; 2 M5 T-nuts in the top rail-opposite slot at each of the four extrusion ends, none in the rail slot.
What you're looking at
The second Y axis is identical to the first; it becomes the left or right side only when its idler goes on. The M5 T-nuts go into the face opposite the rail, the top face in the machine, for the idler and drive-frame flanges.
