Assembly Step by Step

These are the instructions for the SO1 and are here for historical reasons only.

If you are building an SO2, please see the instructions at http://docs.shapeoko.com/

If you haven't already done so, take a look at the Tools pages. Also, familiarizing yourself with the Parts will make assembly go easier.

V-Wheel Assemblies
When assembling the wheels, remember to place the precision washers (1mm thick) between the bearings. The precision washers are exactly 1mm thick and provide a surface for the races to contact, keeping everything tight.



Smooth Idler Assemblies
When assembling the smooth idlers, remember to place the precision washers (1mm thick) between the bearings. The precision washers are exactly 1mm thick and provide a surface for the races to contact, keeping everything tight.
