Very cool build, but the assembly video can be a bit ambiguous. So here are some notes: Printing: the gear set can be a major pill to turn out. I recommend printing it at 100% infill and also, if you have the AMS, print the gears in PLA and use PETG as support interface. It makes it worlds easier to clean out. Also maybe print yourself a couple extras just in case. If you need one, you've got it, and if you don't you have a new fidget spinner :) Gearbox assembly - left spindle: translucent gear (small gear up), gear where the small gear has noticeably fewer teeth (also small gear up). Right spindle: plain white gear (small gear up), 2-piece gear with plastic spindle (spindle side up). If the left spindle doesn't line up properly with the gearbox lid, check the above gears first. Battery box: watch the full assembly before trying it. Remember that the first part to go in is the single non-spring terminal, and that the little metal tab should come out the little slot at the bottom, not the wide one. When assembling the switch, it should be oriented so that the slider "ramp" will go smoothly in front of the battery. Also, test-fit the slider and switch before assembly. Also, once the gearbox & battery box are done, go ahead and wire them up and test everything to make sure it's working before attempting to install it later. Assembly: make sure both sprocket gears are placed so that the side that was on the print bed is facing outward. If your escalator seems crooked, then that's probably the problem. Also make sure that the rectangular cutout is oriented to the top on both sides. Also, when you have added both side panels, it is recommended to carefully wrap some painter's tape around the frame (not the rail though) to hold it in place until you can fasten the two sides together with the end-caps. Anyway, that's it. Just wanted to share so people can avoid some of the headaches I hit. Once you get it together though, it's just so freaking neat. Definitely worth it.

Can you help? Im having issues trying to print the "stairs" they get 70% done and then the printer freezes. I dont have issues printing anything else. Ive tried different fillament and different settings, but nothing is working. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help

I just want to say thank you. The instructions for the gear box are completely wrong and I was getting extremely frustrated. My wife found this comment and I was able to assemble it correctly. You saved me a bunch of aggravation.

This was seen in the PDF file attached to the custom length chairlift. Hope it helps you. Or you can try pausing the video and zooming in locally, you will see many details clearly

I tried to install the power switch, but it kept breaking, so I used this improvised solution. You just pull it out and it turns on, and then plug it back in and it turns off. The switch does the same thing. (Translated with Google Translate)

Very nice model! Motor didn't have enough power to move stairs so I changed battery kit to nine-volt battery and it works great now.

Very good, the gears printed with supports had some issues, but when printed in PETG worked well
