Webbing is easier to thread as it expands if you push the two end towards each other.
Threaded spindle cable first - attached to end of thin aluminium garden sprinkler rod (thin wooden dowel / wire coat hanger also work) by insulation tape. Thread through both sleeves. Withdraw enough spindle cable back through the sleeves (without undoing previous effort :) )and tape first motor cable to spindle cable. Work cable slowly back through sleeves pulling motor cable with it. Rinse and repeat.
Yes, I can agree with both Paul and Vincent that this was a difficult step to do with the pulling of the wires. The only way I managed to do it was to ask my wife to pull it through. Maybe its her smaller hands, maybe its her patience…
To get the wires through more easily, fold the z- and x-axis wires in half then thread the loop through ,to the end. Then pull the loose ends through from the loop. Hope that makes sense? Do the same with the webbing but fold all the wires in one go.
Tried to pull the wires through by taping them to the belt but it did not work. I push one by one and it worked better. Not that easy this part!
