Setup and Day 1

Top view of the heater block mounted to the heat spreader bar and XY plate. The top of the thermal barrier tube should not project above the M6 hex nut. Try to keep the sides of the M6 nut parallel to the long edge of the heat spreader bar. This helps prevent interference with the face of the extruder stepper motor.

Spent the day helping DDL library staff assemble their new 3D printers.

Probably some other things I've forgotten.

This is just one style of mounting the Y axis endstop. If you instead use

www.thingiverse.com/thing:357587

you may find yourself doing something different. Or if your mount can clear the Y rod mounts, then you may be able to engage the upper portion of the X axis rod holders which ride on the Y rods.
