Product - Test Stand Body

(1) TS-01: Holoseat Test Stand Body

Procedure - Test Stand Body

  1. Produce Side and Top Boards
    1. 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)
    2. 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)
  2. Assemble the TS-01: Holoseat Test Stand Body
    1. 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
    2. Drill (2) 1/8" pilot holes through the face of the side board and into the edge of the top board
    3. Use (2) TSB-03: #9 x 2-1/2" Coarse Thread Drywall Screws to secure the side board to the top board
    4. 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

    5. Place the TS-06: Nema 17 Stepper Motor Mount against the face of the side board between the top boards
    6. Drill (4) 1/16" pilot holes into the face of the side board
    7. 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
    8. Use the bar clamps to secure the other TSB-01: Side Boards to the opposite side of the (2) TSB-02: Top Boards
    9. 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)
    10. 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
  3. Paint the Test Stand Body
    1. Lightly sand the new test stand body
    2. Wipe down the test stand body with a rag
    3. 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
    4. Apply (2) coats of TSB-05: Semi-gloss latex paint to the faces of the test stand body per the paint's instructions
