Another great guide Gene, the image for step 2 perhaps because step 2 does not have or need an image, shows a camera icon with a question mark which might make some folks wonder why it is that way it did me for a moment... perhaps a place holder image for that spot?

what do you do with all your credits btw? ;)

There was no image of that step - I didn't figure it was needed. :)

As to the "credits", no clue. :)

I used to do that, what I do now is have a set of panel mounted connectors on the top, and no inline connector, every hot-end has enough wire to go all the way to the top.
Works out about the same amount of effort as the inline connector, but the connector is a lot more secure.
I actually started doing this after I started using cartridge heaters, since they come with attached wires, it seemed somewhat redundant to cut the wire and stick a connector in it. I do have one set of wiring that has the panel mounted connector at one end and the inline connectors in the middle so I can still use the hotends I wired before I made the change.

Thanks!

I specified the four pin latching connectors so there won't be any issue of it not being secure. :)
