h3. Procedure - Test Stand Body

# Produce Side and Top Boards

## Use a miter saw to cut (2) 12" long boards from *TSB-04: 36" Long 2x3 Board* to produce (2) *TSB-01: Side Boards*

(also requires tape measure, carpentry square, and pencil)

## Use a miter saw to cut (2) 5" long boards from *TSB-04: 36" Long 2x3 Board* to produce (2) *TSB-02: Top Boards*

(also requires tape measure, carpentry square, and pencil)

# Assemble the *TS-01: Holoseat Test Stand Body*

## Use the bar clamps to secure (1) *TSB-01: Side Boards* and (1) *TSB-02: Top Boards* in a butt joint flush with the edge of the side board and with their ends aligned

## Drill (2) 1/8" pilot holes through the face of the side board and into the edge of the top board

## Use (2) *TSB-03: @#9@ x 2-1/2" Coarse Thread Drywall Screws* to secure the side board to the top board

## Repeat the past 3 steps to attach the other *TSB-02: Top Boards* to the side board making sure the gap between the top boards is wide enough for the *TS-06: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Mount*

*INSERT PIC HERE*

## Place the *TS-06: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Mount* against the face of the side board between the top boards

## Drill (4) 1/16" pilot holes into the face of the side board

## Use (4) *TS-07: 1-1/4" Fine Thread Drywall Screws* to attach the motor mount to the side board making sure its top is flush with the top face of the top boards

*INSERT PIC HERE*

## Use the bar clamps to secure the other *TSB-01: Side Boards* to the opposite side of the (2) *TSB-02: Top Boards*

## Drill (2) 1/8" pilot holes through the face of the side board and into the edges of the top boards (1 hole in each top board)

## Use (2) *TSB-03: @#9@ x 2-1/2" Coarse Thread Drywall Screws* to secure the side board to the top boards

*INSERT PIC HERE*

# Paint the Test Stand Body

## Lightly sand the new test stand body

## Wipe down the test stand body with a rag

## Use Painter's Tape to mask the *TS-06: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Mount* so it does not get paint on it during the next step

## Apply (2) coats of *TSB-05: Semi-gloss latex paint* to the faces of the test stand body per the paint's instructions

* (4) MA-02: M3 Screws

* (1) MA-03: Tone Ring Adapter

h3. Safety Issues - Motor Assembly

* Take general safety precautions when using hand tools

h3. Product - Motor Assembly

(1) TS-01: Holoseat Test Stand Body with TS-08: Motor Assembly attached

h3. Procedure - Motor Assembly

# Place the *TS-01: Holoseat Test Stand Body* on its side to provide access to the underside of the *TS-06: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Mount*

# Place the *MA-01: Adafruit Stepper motor* into the slot in the motor mount with the wires from the stepper motor facing the gap between the motor mount and the test stand body

# Use the (4) *MA-02: M3 Screws* to attach the stepper motor to the motor mount
