    I usually take out the two 16mm screws and take the left shelf support off if I need to get at the extruder mounting screw.

    Hey! The instructions should probably say to do that, huh?

    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.

    Thanks for doing not only the design work but going a step beyond most others and having such great instructions and being willing to maintain them. That's pretty awesome.

    Thats a good idea, im going to try that out tonight and load up the firmware too. I want to bend those wires the least possible times to avoid any further breakage...
