Stock Parts Teardown:
- Remove bed leveling knobs
- Unclip the Y belt From the Y carriage and remove stock Y carriage plate from the machine
- Remove all V-slot wheels and hardware from Y carriage plate
Rail Prep Instructions:
- Remove from packaging
- Wipe off extra oil with a lint free cloth
- Install M3X8 SHCS and sliding T-nuts onto rails
- Take Note to skip 2 holes between each fastener, and ensure to mirror this process from each end of the rail until you meet in the middle.
- For rails with an odd number of mounting holes, the pattern will overlap in the middle
- For rails with an even number of mounting holes, the pattern will be continued across the rail
- Take Note to skip 2 holes between each fastener, and ensure to mirror this process from each end of the rail until you meet in the middle.

- Skip installing the first 3 T-nut on both rails
- Slide 3 T-nuts in to the extrusion and space them out to match the rail's hardware. Slide the linear blocks close to the end of the rail (fig A) and then attach the rail with the 3 pre-installed T-nuts from the previous step (Fig B).

CR-10/S Y rail kit
Note both rails installed on the stock center aluminum extrusion as show in the picture below.
- For the CR-10/S the rail should space back 20 mm from the front extrusion

- Install 2 FHCS on the smaller holes (Aligning them on the left or right side).
- 2x M4 BHCS on the larger holes with an M4 Large OD Flat washer, M4 Flat washer, and M4 Split locking washer.
- Leave all screws slightly loose
- Fully tighten the M4x10 FHCS (On the left)
- Then tighten the Carriage block M3 mounting screw on both sides
- Lastly, tighten the M4 SHCS on the opposite size of the Y carriage Plate
CR-10 & CR-10S End Stop
CR10S V2/V3 End Stop
Final Assembly
- Slide Y belt back into the Grooves on in the Carriage plate
- Reinstall bed and check travel limits
- Adjust Y endstop, so the nozzle meets the front edge of the bed when triggered.
