Do: Add the other three joints the same way. Same light tightening on all four.

check Check

Four M5×40 in, all light. Lift gently under one Y extrusion: the gantry moves as one piece, all four carriages together.

What you're looking at

The other three corners, same single bolt, same lightness. With four in, the gantry is properly attached to all four Z carriages and moves as one piece up and down the uprights.

pause Good stopping point · ~45 min since the last one

gantry lifted into the frame and bolted to all four Z joints, articulating freely. This segment could not be broken (two-person lift). Z belts are still unrouted; leave the idlers alone.
