The Z axis motor mounted to the top of the z-axis assembly.

Step 18: Z-Axis Motor Mount

For the y-axis motor mount, however, the process is almost exactly the same, with the exception of a few things on the y-axis top bearing support in the way. Remember the two screws that fasten the top of the z-axis rail support? They get in the way. You will see me countersink them at the end of the video after much of my frustration has been exhausted. But, that's not all. I started out in error as I placed the motor mount reversed on the top and then started drilling. it's a sight to be seen. I fixed it in the end, even when I though that I would have to remake the y-axis top bearing support. So, no matter what happens, there is usually a solution.
