Introduction

It is important to note that this process can be replicated for all CR-10 devices with similar stepper motors.

Ensure that there is no power flowing through the unit by disconnecting the power cable.Read through the guide to familiarize yourself with the process.Know the location of the components. The image above shows the x-axis components in red and the y-axis components in blue.Remember to be gentle with the hardware. Putting too much pressure turning a screw may strip it, making it difficult to remove in the future.
