Manual
NOTE:

This manual shows the construction of the AR2 travel track using 500mm length
guides but you can build the track any length you want. Tack can be screw drive
as shown or you can design your own track or use a belt drive if desired.

Any stepper motor can be used as long as its wired as shown and in the
electrical enclosure manual.

• 3D printed components require all threaded holes to be cleared with


appropriate drill size.
• All printed components were printed at minimum 50% solid at 2mm layer
height and thick shells.
