• Root 3 X-Axis Box Section Mount

For preparing the X-Axis box section mount to receive the bars, the following parts were used:

• 2x 3D Printed Parts
• 2x #10-24 x 1/2" cup point set screws

Tap 8 holes with #10-24 threads, then insert the set screws:

There are two lock nuts which will be hidden by the timing belt plate.  To avoid a bunch of hassle if these two hidden screws come loose, use Loctite glue to weld two M3 nuts onto the 3D printed parts (yes this is a hack).  To glue the parts, temporarily insert a screw into the lock nut and let them hang.  Apply a dab of glue and let set.

After the glue has set, attach the box section mount to the wooden panel, use the following:

• 2x M3 x 30mm screws (0.5mm threads)
• 2x M3 lock washers
• 2x M3 washers
