Y-Stage assembly

This is the Y-stage assemby. The key is ensuring the magnets are placed in correctly and that they are secured in with superglue.

The platform is held to the Y-stage with the magnets. Therefore, if the magnets are backwards, it will push the platform away versus hold it to the Y-stage.

If the magnets are not secured in with the superglue they will tend to come out when you remove the platform.
