C42, per your instructions.. The hot ends should be 20 mm apart..mine are 26 apart..i cant see how 20mm is a achievable without having the slanted inwards towards each other..this measuring from tip to tip

It's 25mm on center for the Flex E3D i would assume it's the same for the hexagon's

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.

Okay, I think I've answered all of the questions so far. If I missed yours, let me know..
