The 3rd module does not come with bigger issues. It was quite convenient to set everything up. In the last part, I made a mistake where I glued the M3 brass inserts into the hole. Now I knew that there are heat inserts. And with some head, it is straightforward to install them. Although I have to glue the M4 inserts in place because the inserts are too small for the hole.

All items for this part

Tools

  • HX4 Screw driver
  • HX2 Screw driver (for the pulley)

Step 1: Mount 2M1

Result of step 2

Step 3: Mounting the belt stretcher

The M4 screw inserts didn’t fit here, either. I had to glow them in again.

In the future, I have to find the correct inserts but for now, this is the way I’ll do it

Step 4: 3M2 Assembly

We have edited the 3M2 parts (3M2C & 3M2CC) to fit our stepper motor inside. For the detailed changes, have a look at hit blog post:

DIY Moveo Part 5.1: Changes 3M2
