Parts:
- the gantry · already on the bench
- a towel over the bed · tool
Do:
- Cover the bed with a towel.
- Two people, one per Y extrusion, hands on extrusions only.
- Lift from above and tilt side-to-side: one Y extrusion enters the frame first, then bring the high side down.
Check
The gantry is inside the frame, level, front to the front, each Z bearing block over its lower joint, and no belt pinched.
Helper Lifts the other Y extrusion with you, hands on the extrusion only, and says stop if anything catches.
What you're looking at
The lift itself. The gantry will not pass the four uprights flat, so it goes in tilted and levels out inside the frame. Hands on the Y extrusions only: the X carriage, the drive units and the belts are not handles.
