Parts:
- left XY joint · already on the bench
- right XY joint · already on the bench
Do: Push a joint onto each end of the D extrusion: left joint to the left end, right joint, the one with the endstop cable channel, to the right. Seat each until the extrusion bottoms out in the joint's pocket.
Check
Both joints fully home; the two 20T idlers and the two bearing stacks all face the same way along the extrusion.
What you're looking at
Each joint's pocket slides over an end of the X beam. This is the first time the X axis exists as one object: beam, rail, backer and both belt corners.
