Attaching the caps

Parts needed

Placing the caps

The wooden caps have to be attached in four corners (A, B, C and D) of the Ultimaker Original+. They keep the axles in place. The wooden caps with hole will be placed on the inside, except for the places where the short motor belts pass over the bearings. The wooden caps without hole go on the outside. Some of the caps only need to be attached with one bolt at this time, to help inserting the axles at a later stage. Attach these caps loosely, so you can still rotate them.

To place the wooden caps, perform the following steps:

1. In corner A, attach a wooden cap with hole and a wooden cap without hole to the front panel. Secure with two M3x16 bolts and two hex nuts.
2. Also attach a wooden cap with hole and a wooden cap without hole to the left panel. Secure with two M3x16 bolts and two hex nuts.
3. In corner B, attach a wooden cap with hole and a wooden cap without hole to the front panel. Secure with two M3x16 bolts and two hex nuts.
4. Attach a wooden cap with hole and a wooden cap without hole to the right panel. Secure loosely with only one M3x16 bolt and one hex nut.
