Step 1 Part Identification

The new end effector kit is sold as a "kit of kits". Each individual bag of parts is available as a separate kit on Amazon.com, in case anyone needs spare / replacement parts.

Step 2 Install M3 Nuts into End Effector Housing

From the bag labeled: "End Effector Rebuild Kit", remove the 3 pieces of the end effector housing.
NOTE: It may be easier to install these nuts and screw one at a time.
Insert 6x M3 Nuts into position shown.
Secure nuts in position with M3 x 8mm SHCS, threaded in 3-4 turns.
We are just using these M3 x 8mm SHCS to temporarily hold the M3 nuts in place; they will be removed later, so no need to tighten the screws all the way.
Alternative technique would be to slide the assembly off the table and insert the screws from the bottom, using gravity to hold the nuts in position while the screws are installed.

Step 3 Install the end effector PCA

Using the round hole for the auto levelling probe, rotationally key the end effector PCA to the correct orientation.
Note: Some beta testers reported that it is easiest to lay the PCA down on the work surface with the connectors facing up and carefully press the plastic housing down over the connectors, working at clearing one connector at a time.
