The Y carriage gets (18) 3mm brass inserts, as in the picture. (Note: there are also two on the back side, and one on the top. Not all RailCore kits include the optional one on the top, requiring only 17 inserts)
-
Each Electronics Box corner gets one (1) brass insert. One end is thicker, to make putting the insert in easier. Be sure to place the inserts into the thick end, as in Picture 2.

Keenovo has an install guide at this link which will download a PDF file for reference.
-
Follow Section 4.2 to install using the pre-installed adhesive.
-
The keenovo goes centered on the bottom of the bed (The thermistor groove goes on the top).
-
The wires should exit on the same side of the bed as the thermistor.
-
-
-
Place the thermistor into the channel in the top of the bed.
-
Cover about 10mm of the thermistor leads near the glass bead in RTV.
-
Cover another 10mm of the lead near the side of the bed.
-
Use a razor blade to clean up the excess RTV; there should be no RTV higher than the channel in the bed, and none on the bed surface itself.
-
Set your bed aside and let the RTV dry while you continue with the following steps.
-
-
-
Once the RTV has cured and you've cut away or removed the kapton tape, you can install the bed surface.
-
If you're using a magbed, this just involves putting the magplate on.
-
If using a stick on surface, remove the backing, and work from one corner. Use a straight edge to seal the surface to the bed, to avoid any air bubbles as you go.

Since the RailCore is so flexible, there are numerous hotends to choose from and you should follow the assembly instructions for your particular hotend and manufacturer below:

What about the J Head and Volcano - or is this just for the kits?
