The two nuts fall out easily… i had to remove the shroud/fan to access the backside of the nuts to hold them in place as i got the M3x10 screws started.
Worth noting that using a slightly larger screw will help open up the holes the head of the M3 screws sink into. And worth noting the heads do sink into the surface of the shroud half way which is why folks are having trouble with this. It also appears to not matter if the screws are slightly longer, so if you have extras (outside of the kit).
with no picture of the brash gear… should mention how that’s supposed to be orientated onto the motor shaft. Should the set-screw be towards the motor or within the extruder?
Find out later… but this is the point where the belts should have a little loose tension when adding the belt grabbers. It’d also be helpful here to mention the need to trim the belts at this point. Otherwise they’ll be in the way in later steps.
It’s roughly clear this is the left side of the gantry… but should be pointed out in the docs. Should also point out not to tighten this down to tight. The plastic holding this endstop is really thin where it bolts down and i cracked mine… and yup, an M5x14 was nice upgrade here Tom. Forgot to mention the picture at the top of this page does not show the end stop. Nor does the picture at the bottom or subsequent steps.
Duet 6HC: Within boilerplate files and in documentation sets out1 but calls for out2 in the comment. Change the left side to show out2

No mention about assembling the v6… mine came in pieces. This looks like it’ll be helpful: https://e3d-online.dozuki.com/Guide/V6+A...
Should mention the orientation of this part. In the picture that should point towards the front of the printer with the limit switch on the left.
There is approximately 266mm of overlap with these 2.9718m belts… so this length should be fine.
I suggest swapping step 5 and 6… do 6 first… then 5. step 5’s picture shows step 6 already done btw.
