(1) y-Carriage for Heated Bed MK52 with LHBB10

(2) 2x y-Rods 360mm

(3) 3x LHBB10 Bushings with Pillow Block

(4) y-Belt Holder

(5) 12x M5 Washer

(6) 2x M3x12mm Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws

(7) 12x M5x18mm Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws

Open the Super Lube tube and screw the supplied injector onto it.

Place the LHBB10 bushing on the injector and spread the grease inside.

The bearing is sufficiently greased when the grease oozes out at the ends of the bushing.

Repeat these steps for the other two LHBB10 bushings.

Position the three greased bushings under the holes in the y-slide.

Make sure that the side of the y-slide is facing down with the chamfer and facing up with the edge.

Use 4x M5 Washers and 4x M5x18mm Head Cap Screws to loosely attach the LHBB10 ball bearings to the y-carriage.

The bushings should still be easy to move.

Place the y-belt holder on the y-carriage as shown in Fig. 1.

Make sure that the toothed side of the y-belt holder points to the side with 1 ball bearing.

Screw on the y-belt holder from below with 2x M3x12mm socket head cap screws .

Carefully slide the 2x y-rods through the three LHBB10 ball bearings and place them on the y-rod holders.

Make sure that the side of the y carriage with the two ball bearings is on the left side of the frame.

When the y-carriage is correctly aligned, press the rods into the four y-rod holders.

Now place the 10mm y-calibration tool at the front of the left y-axis of the frame and press the rod against it.

Then place the tool at the back on the left y-axis and press the bar against it here as well.

Once you have correctly aligned the rod, fasten the 4x M6x12mm socket head cap screws in the y-rod holders on the left front and left rear.

Then move the y carriage to the very front and fasten the 2x M6x12mm socket head cap screws in the y rod holder on the right front.

Move the y carriage to the very rear and fasten the 2x M6x12mm socket head cap screws in the y-rod holder at the right rear.

Move the y carriage back and forth. While doing so, gradually tighten the 12x M5x18mm socket head cap screws on the LHBB10 ball bearings.

Keep moving the carriage back and forth to make sure it can move freely.

If the y-slide runs a bit out of round, both loosening and tightening the screws on the LHBB10 ball bearings several times and realigning the rods can help.

The heating bed slide for MK52 block is now completely installed.
