Had to redo the ribbon cable routing, it had a twist in it that made life difficult. My goodness, feel like I have been hazed. That last bit was difficult and it really didn't need to be. If the Einsy had been rotated 90 degrees with the door opening to the rear it would have been much easier from a lighting and access point of view. The box could have stuck out just under the X axis stepper.
I had difficulty with lightning and just fitting hands and tools in place. Not to mention the mostly unlabeled cable ends. As a new user, do you think I am going to remember the proper name of the cable, when I'm not exactly sure what the function is?
Had to melt some filament over the slot of the only nut that was loose, the one that could destroy the controller. In the comments that was mentioned 2 years ago. The part is 3d printed, it could have been changed 23 months ago. All I had was the silver PLA, so that's what I used. Not pretty, but it's inside the box.
General observation, the human factors of the assembly process were awkward to perform and could use improvement. The tiny slightly blurry pictures in the manual didn't help. I did have to use the online manual, especially for the final wiring, it would have been disasterous to use the book.
I need to inspect the interconnect again, this time with more lighting.
Having convinced myself it was ok, I went for the smoke test. No smells of burning anything, which is a good sign! Failed the fan test due to a balky, hardened lube fan. SW said that the fans were swapped, but they weren't. Rebooted and passed the test. Now going through the bed calibration points with the sheet of paper. Thought I was dragging the head, but that was the paper inertia.
