1. To install the mount remove only the left screw, bearing wheel, spacer and nut on the X carriage. You DO NOT have to remove the herome and hotend. 2. You mite want to install your motor and extruder on the mount at this point. The arm of the extruder needs to face up. Remove the pneumatic fitting if present. 3. Next install the metal spacer from step 1 only in the open left hole on the bottom of the mount. 3/B (For a hot swap option) Go to homedepot and look for "#10 ID x 5/16 in OD x 3/8 in L" metal spacer and grind to 8.4mm to sit in the mounts left side permanently. Keep the OEM spacer if you need to remove the mount. 4. Next take the mount and slide the opened right slot onto the right bearing spacer behind the carriage. 5. Tilt the mount clockwise to lock the slot on the bearing spacer. 6. Use this time to cut you PTFE to size and install. The only pneumatic fitting should be on your hotend. If you measure from the top of the hotends pneumatic fitting 35mm should be fine. Tilt the extruder clockwise to wedge the PTFE tube into place and counter clockwise to fit it in the extruders pneumatic fitting hole. Ideally you want the bottom of the extruders pneumatic fitting hole resting on the top of the PTFE tube while being able to see the opening in the left spacer. Otherwise this will vary on what your using so any where from 45-85mm. 7. Make sure tube PTFE tube is set. reinstall the left screw, bearing wheel, and nut on the Y carriage. 8. Your done. Connect the motor and re-calibrate if needed.
