Step 2Mount Rods on Frame
When the plastic cools, it will harden and turn opaque again. After this happens, you will be ready to mount them on the frame. Get your drill out and drill a hole in each tab for the screw. Once that is done, then you will want to mount them on the frame. Drill pilot holes in the wood and then put one screw in on each rod to anchor the rod to the frame.
Now you will want to align the rods. It is very important that they are parallel to each other, and square with the frame. Measure multiple times. We also found that having a square was very useful, as we could set it to the width between the rods and then move to the other end and push them together or apart until they were perfect. You could easily do the same thing with a piece of wood. Once you have the rods aligned, you will want to fully secure them by putting screws in each hole. You will have to do this for both linear stages.
