    -The belt on the Y idler bracket is rubbing not sure how to keep the belt centered. I am not sure if it matters?,
    try and offset the gear on the stepper so it changes the angle of the belt slightly, hopefullly you can do it enough so it doesnt rub, rubbing is bad

    - Cant figure out the best way to run the X end stop wires?
    i ended up running mine on the left side by the stepper as i already had the stepper wires running, just had to reverse the direction on marlin firmware so it homes left instead of right

    - I am not sure where the Y end stop needs to be placed along the Y Aluminum extrusion? Right now I have it so it will go the full distance of the aluminum extrusion right to where it will hit the bolt under the bed.
    let the bed go as far as you can , until right before the wheels hit. plus leave a small gap.

    - The Glass is jagged and choppy on the edge I "attempted" to cut and all 4 corners
    I used a Dremel with Diamond Cut off saw blade. with some water and it worked great if you cut slowly

    - I have a fan that I am not sure where or how it mounts. Possibly for a different hot end? The instructions do not say what its for and where to mount it. I will double check though.
    E3D V6 has a fan with Blue clip that goes over the alum fins of the hotend.. look up the hotend it should be obvious. I would also recommend having a fan blowing on the board. as the stepper drivers can get warm and cause missed steps

    - Although I haven't finished installing the electronics, it seems like I have a lot of wires and extra screws with the kit. (This never seems to be a good thing) :/
    I had alot of spare motor wires in my set
