Flip the printer over so that the bottom of the printer is facing up, then find the harness that has 5 spade connectors (power supply to board harness).
Loosen the five terminals on the power supply, then place the green ground wire under the ground terminal, then the two black wires under the next two terminals followed by the two red wires under the last two terminals.
Once all the wires are placed under the designated terminals fasten screws.
Then route the two harnesses through the semicircle cut outs as shown in [reference#1].
Using 5x M3x6 SHCS [HD-BT0045] cover the power supply with the 289 power supply bottom [PP-GP0554].
While the printer is resting on the Z upper mount the BLTouch [PP-MP0327] to the BLTouch mount on the X carriage, using 2x M3x8 SHCS [HD-BT0045].
Once the BLTouch is installed, flip printer over and find the extruder harness. It will be the harness that comes through the top of the control box.
Then take the harness and route it through the strain relief that is on the top of the X carriage.
Now take the BLTouch wire (smaller wires that branch off of the extruder harness) and route it through the two curved channels on the left side of the printer. As shown in [reference#2]
Then route the wire through the BLTouch mount cage and connect it to the BLTouch.
Find the X motor harness, longer harness with blue wire.
Then route the harness on the backside of the extrusion and connect it to the X motor.
Then using the flexy rosebud wrap 1 [PP-GP0578] secure the harness to the X motor mount.
This is done by taking one end of the flexy rosebud and pushing through the hole on the bottom side of the X motor mount. Note: make sure the flanged side of the rosebud is on the outside.
Then wrap the flexy rosebud around the harness and then push the other side through the same hole.
Pull on the wrap to make sure its secure, then firmly push the harness boot over the motor connector.
Find the LZ motor harness, should have a purple wire.
Then route the harness along the backside of the printer and slide it into the channel on the power plug housing.
Once harness is fully seated in the channel route it under the power plug harness.
Then connect the harness to the LZ motor, make sure it has a proper connection.
Now take the harness boot and place it over the connection.
Find the RZ motor harness should have a orange wire, once you found this harness connect it to the RZ motor.
Make sure they have a secure connection then place the harness boot over the connection.
Now find both LCD harnesses and align them so that both connector are facing the same way and there is no twists in the harness.
Then route them between the power switch harness and the RZ harness.
Now take 2x LCD cable clips [PP-GP0658] and place them on the front right extrusion on the outer side.
The bottom clip will have the opening facing the power switch and the top clip will have the facing towards the X motor.
To place these clip take one side and push it in the grove on the extrusion and firmly push the other side into the opposite grove, there should be an audible snap if done correctly.
Note: if you didn't hear a noise, check clip to ensure its properly seated on the extrusion
Then take the LCD harnesses and slide them into the openings of each clip.
Take 3x 3 bundle cable clips [PP-GP0566] and place two on the bottom extrusion on the back side and one under the control box.
Using the same method as the LCD cable clips we are going to place one side of the clip in the extrusion groove and push on the clip until the other side snaps into the opposite groove.
Place the two on the back bottom extrusion on the outer side, one on each end. The opening of the clip should be facing upward.
The last clip will be placed on the back right extrusion, we are placing it under the control box mount's screws with the opening facing away from the control box.
Use 3x flexy rosebud wrap 1 [PP-GP0578] and 2x flexy rosebud wrap 2 [PP-GP0579] for this next step.
To install the rosebud wraps on the printer you will first slide one end of the wrap inside the hole with the flat side facing the harnesses, then wrap it around the harnesses and using a screwdriver push the other end inside the same hole to create a secured fitting around the harnesses.
Follow the pictures for placement.
Push the LCD harnesses through the rectangular hole in the LCD case. make sure the tabs are on the top side of the harness.
Then connect the LCD harnesses to the LCD, LCD 2 will either have a ground wire or a white piece of tape around it.
Connect LCD 2 to the port that has EXP 2 and LCD 1 to the port that has EXP 1.
If the LCD 2 harness has a ground wire, place it under the silver screw and fasten.
Once the LCD harnesses are connected use the hot glue gun and place hot glue over the tabs, securing the connection.
Then use 4x M3x6 FHCS [HD-BT0128] to install the LCD case to the LCD backplate.
Check the LCD harnesses making sure they are pulled to tight when the LCD is in closed position.
Starting with the 2 cable clips on the backside of the printer, place the power supply to board harness inside the two clips.
Now take the LZ motor harness and place it inside the clips, then take the Y axis harness and place it inside the clips.
Next take the X axis harness and place it inside the clip on the back right side of the printer, make sure the harness loops down from the control box and then up through the cable clip.
Then using 2x M3x8 SHCS close the control box cover and secure to the control box case.
