Assembly

Heatsets

Square Nuts

Insert the square nuts into the slots on each side, use force while being careful not to break your print. You may use a soldering iron, in the same fashion you would a heatset, just go slow and be careful.

Microbowden

Push the bowden tube through the opening on the top or bottom, try not to make irreversible kinks while pushing. A small flathead or any tool you can fit in the opening of the front may be used to help move the bowden along the path. You will need to complete this step a couple of times to get the correct measurements/length for your hotend. The easiest way to do this is secure the extruder to the block and push the bowden up through the bottom till it bottoms out. Then take a guess at the length needed for your hotend, overestimate it by quite a bit. Now start cutting away until you get a flush fit.

Securing to the block

Once you've measured, cut, and inserted your microbowden to fit the sherpa AND your hotend, you may secure the extruder to the block.

Optional Wire Routing

This block has a great way of tucking ugly wires from sight, by passing them through the hole in the centre. Don't forget to utilise the zip-tie spots that are on the core-carriage.
