Before you bolt the Y Carriage onto the Y rail, double check that all the brass inserts are in.
-
Bolt the Y Carriage to the Y rail using (4) m3 x 8mm button head bolts. Make sure they're snug.
-
You may want a dab of loctite on the bolts for attaching the Y carriage to the Rail, they're hard to get to later.

Put (2) m3 x 16mm Button Head Bolts pointing up through the holes in the BLTouch.

The Y endstop and part cooling fan share a cable harness, so we need to install them at the same time.

Start by inserting the 5015 Blower fan into the layer shroud. It just fits a bit loosely, don't break anything cramming it in.
-
Attach the Y endstop switch to the Y endstop mount using (2) m2 x 12mm Bolts and (2) m2 nuts.

-
Start by attaching the Layer fan and shroud. Two m3 washers serve as spacers on each bolt for the shroud, between it and the Y carriage. Attach the shroud using (2) m3 x 10mm button head bolts to the brass inserts in the bottom of the Y carriage.

Attach the Y endstop mount to the bottom right two holes in the Y carriage using (2) m3 x 8mm Button Head Bolts

-
Insert one m3 nut into each side of the printed hotend mount. They can be hard to push in, using a screwdriver can help.
-
Push an allen wrench down through the bolt holes for attaching the hotend to center the M3 nuts, it will make threading a bolt in easier.
