    Enjoy the assembly! Look up a YouTube assembly tutorial, IIRC the instructions on the ender manual itself renders some other steps a bit trickier due to the order its in. I cant remember which one though

    Yes saw a channel "Chep", talks about that. Says to put the right side on first level that then skip to 5 then 7 whatever it is. Will definitely give a re-watch.

    Assembly completed last night... Will have to adjust, the bed is about 6.3mm off on one side for home position had it aligned but assembling the other side must have thrown it off. On the bright side I won't have to face the e3 sideways fits perfectly on the 4x4 Kallax from Ikea (could probably build an enclosure around this). My floor is not level so will have to shim the front of printer. Also, I'm going to make a double sided leather dust cover for when not in use (velcro sides). Will definitely be buying quiet fans, PSU sounds like a jet engine in a wind tunnel.

    Going to look into wall mounting a Lack or 2 and maybe giving that enclosure a chimney to the attic, reading some things about PLA fumes that are contradictory so I think the best thing to do is to not breath fumes at all for long periods of time. The internet told be Vaping was not harmful and I had terrible issues with sinus infections, so no thanks internet!

    Edit: Had a closer look and the bed rail was miles off adjusted that to uprights and sitting pretty!
