Introduction

It's assumed that you're building a kit from Filastruder, and you've completed all previous sections. At the end of this section you should have a complete frame assembled for your RailCore.

  1. Using (16) M3x10 socket head screws and (16) M3 washers, attach the bottom to the frame. Loosen your corner cubes when attaching the bottom or sides to the frame. The acrylic pieces will attempt to pull the frame into square. Be sure the bottom panel is in the right orientation. The side with (5) large holes should be on the right side of the printer. For reference, the bottom right extrusion should have (10) M3 nuts in it's top channel.
