I have 5 fingers on each hand and that didn't seem like enough to get these fan mounts secured. The first screw is easy, but I had to compress the fan mount significantly so the second screw could be inserted. It makes a nice, tight apparatus when complete, it was just a bit cumbersome to hold the mount in compression while trying to get the screw started.
The PCB mount in my kit didn't have enough clearance for the red heater cartridge wires or the thermistor leads. I used a small round file to create a small notch in the PCB mount for the thermistor leads, and I removed some additional material around the heater leads. Then it went together without any binding.
Be careful with the PTFE tubes. If you push the tubes right up to the thermistor it will split in half with very little effort. After breaking my first thermistor I used tweezers to hold the wire leads instead of the glass thermistor body.
For steps 11-16 would you consider cropping the photos to show a more zoomed-in picture? Even at full screen some of these are hard to see. Thanks.
