VORON
In the comfort of your own home you are about to assemble a robot. This
machine can maim, burn, and electrocute you if you are not careful. Please
do not become the first VORON fatality. There is no special Reddit flair for that.
Please, read the entire manual before you start assembly. As you begin wrenching,
please check our Discord channels for any tips and questions that may halt your progress.

LINEAR RAIL BASICS WWW.VORONDESIGN.COM
We opted to skip every other mounting hole in the linear rail when designing the mounting pattern for this printer. This
cuts down on mounting hardware and still meets the requirements for our use case.
When tightening the bolts tighten them from the center outward to ensure that the rail sits flush on the extrusion.
