OK, this is where gaping holes appear in the assembly instructions. Fortunately I've built a Kossel before, but so far there has been no mention of assembly to build the towers and join the top and bottom triangles. Am I missing something? Not great instructions for a $1500 printer.
The Brainwave DC power wiring in these instructions shows two red cables and two black cables, however mine only came with one red and one black. Hopefully that's correct.
Did I miss something somewhere? There are no instructions for installing the autolevelling probe. It's pretty obvious, but requires 2 M3-14 SCHS screws.
Also a couple of small M3 washers are useful for holding down the K-Head top clamps. I chewed through one of the clamp screw holes screwing it on the first time. These clamps should probably be injection molded rather than 3D printed, or the small washers included.
At Step 3/Step 4 you are instructed to press the circuit board onto the effector. In the very first assembly instructions you were told to glue the spacers into the effector. One of these spacers interferes with insertion of the large connector into the effector. I had to remove that one spacer to install the circuit board and then glue it back on again afterwards.
Should Step 13 say M3 8mm screws to attach the idler blocks rather than M3 18mm? The bag ZT-ASY-00196 had 20mm screws and these would impinge on the idler pulleys if screwed in all the way. I used 8mm screws instead to attach the idler blocks.
