Attach the Y-Axis End Cap and Bellows
1. | Using MAKE, move the Z-axis forward, approximately 5–6 inches from the front hardstop. |
2. | Reattach the end cap and bellows. |
Rotating the bellows helps to eliminate rub marks or holes on the interior of the bellows, prolongs the bellows life. If needed, loosen the clamp at both ends of the bellows, rotate the bellows approximately 90 degrees then secure with the clamps.
