No, I had it all setup, but when it came time to install the extruder block to the carriage, the probe arm was in the way of the extrduer/carrige mounting hole. I could not get the screw into the hole without removing the servo and arm. Snowball effect...once the extruder was mounted i could not mount the probe arm cuz the hot end was in the way..

What I ended up doing was assembling everything except the left (servo) side and back (wood) side of the carriage. That gave access to the screws to mount the extruder to the printed carriage. Then I put on the left side with the servo. I'm still waiting for motors, but believe the entire assembly can then be mounted on the vertical wood piece of the carriage.
It does seem like this could make for some awkward extruder maintenance, but maybe C42 has a better way.

Okay, the instructions are updated. On mine, I can also get a ball-end allen wrench into the screw head, but it's a little awkward, since the head won't back out, so you have to lift the extruder block while unscrewing.
On mine, I routed the heater and thermistor wires to the rear and brought them out through the cutouts in the corners of the shelf brackets. That gets the wires clear of the servo probe.
