Trouble with Onyx Rev 5 (6) bed installation

Hi. I'm assembling my rostock max rev 2 printer. All is going well until i started installing the onyx bed. Of the 12 holes only 6 of them are countersink, and of course those are not the ones i need to use for the installation. The description says rev 5 on the bed it self, but this bed does only have one hole for heat sensor and not equal to the one shown in manual page 87 with the extra offset hole. Also the support plate i got does not have the extra grooves as shown on page 84. My issue is that i can't rotate the bed 30 degrees in order to use the countersink holes as that will squeeze my two leds between the bed and support plate. What do i do? cut out groove in support plate or trying to drill out the countersink? Please help!

I would *CAREFULLY* add the missing countersinks.

Do you mean to say that you have not added the 20 chapters to the manual that it would take to document each of the heatbeds that Seemecnc has created?
I hear that they are changing screw #1022 from a pan head to a flat head. That means that the 697 changes that they have done in the past 6 months will
increase to 698. You had better give up your private life, your family and dedicate your entire 20 hours per day to manual changes. We will leave you 4 hours
per day for sleep.

Email SeeMeCNC support. That's what I did when my laser cut pieces were incorrect. They shipped out new pieces free of charge. Take pictures also, they help as a visual aid to others.

In Steve's defense, out of versions 1-5, 3 was never stock (too high of a resistance, so it can't reach temp without more voltage), and 4 was an incremental saving point between 3 and 5 that was never ordered. So there's really only 1, 2, and 5 out in the wild :)

And 6! My kit shipped in August and has a rev 6. Similar to 5 but hole layout is altered.
