Guide to prepare aluminum extrusion:
- Holes to mark:

- Use the provided jig or SilencedFrost's jig (provided in Elegoo Discord) to drill the M5 holes.
- For M3 Hole:
- Use a file to carve out a semi circe hole on the fin at the marked position. (The extrusion in the image is a finished product used for demonstration)

- Drill a shallow indent with the drill inclined as shown (do not drill through).

- Finally, using the indent as a guide, lean as much as possible in the carved semi circle of the fin and drill straight down. Drill at high speed, moderate force to allow minor adjustments when going down.

- Use a file to carve out a semi circe hole on the fin at the marked position. (The extrusion in the image is a finished product used for demonstration)
Guide to mount the aluminum extrusion:
- Prep the M5x10 screws as shown.

- Slide the extrusion onto the screws and tighten them via the through holes after you aligned it well. Suggest pressing a hard flat object against the extrusions to align them flush.

2 Types of front covers are included, each with 2 different mounting methods. Choose at your own liking. Tensioner guides are optional as the front cover already provides sufficient guidance.
Print settings:
- Extrusion Cover:
- 3 walls, 15% infill, 4 layers bottom, 3 layers top
- PETG or PLA
- No Supports needed.
- Improved Y Tensioner:
- 6 walls, 100% infill
- ABS (recommended) or PETG
- If printing with PETG make sure you print at around 50mm/s speed with low cooling and high nozzle temp to maximize structural strength. - No Supports needed.
