A few extra parts

[theo1001]

These parts are left over. Do these need to be added to the instructions?

A20 Cable Anchor
A21 PTFE Anchor
A22 Power Switch Mount
A30 Belt Clamp Mate - 
A24 Azteeg Bracket Spacer

Any pictures or ideas where these go?

Thanks

Yep those are to be added to the instructions, none are essential for the functionality of the printer they are more for cleaning it up. Parts A20 and A21 mount to the 2 remaining nuts on the back middle extrusion, one will hold the wire bundle going to the extruder in place and the other is used if you want a PTFE guide for filament going from behind the printer to the extruder. A22 can be mounted anywhere, there are no pre-existing nuts added from the instructions that you can use unfortunately so you'll have to take an extrusion out to add the nuts. A30 is used with parts A2 and A3 to hold the belt in place, which will be shown in the new belt installation video which I will try to edit and post today. Then A24 is a part that is no longer used, it was replaced in a later version with a full 3D printed Azteeg mounting bracket.

Could we have a photo of the Azteeg mounting bracket, please? I assume it is in the bag of printed parts.
Also pics for how you managed wires -- cable anchor? -- and how and where you mounted the power supply.

And (sent Andrew email on these):
1. Need instructions for X axis end stop assembly.
2. Regarding the belt, I am confused about the length. As far as I can see, the BOM does not tell about belt lengths (2 equal pieces). Just mentions qty 2 or 3 of belt 52" = 1.32 meters.

Finally, where is the best place to mount a spool of filament? (Should I use the mount from my 3Up, or perhaps there is a better design.

Parts: A23 PSU bracket, and A31 Azteeg bracket.

I did not find A23 and A31 included in the kit.
A25 assembly spacer -- also was not included; assume I don't need it now that my machine is assembled.

Sorry for the late reply, I must have missed your first post.

-Total belt required is 3m (7') cut into 2 pieces.
-I can do pictures of cable management over the next few days and hopefully work that into the instructables. I've been busy with a lot of other things lately and haven't had as much time as I liked for documentation!
-Currently I don't have my PSU mounted anywhere, it just sits under the printer. I've seen a few various mounting solutions and this is a fairly standard PSU so you should be able to easily find some other solutions on thingiverse or similar sites if you can't find one here!
-I just use a spool holder in the rear of my printer and I have some ptfe tubing to guide the filament to the hot end.
-Part A23 is an old part and is no longer used
-Part A31 (part number has since changed to A26) is not included in the printed kit as the part is too big and would drive the cost of the kit up significantly, and since it is not needed to run the printer I give users the option to print it for themselves to mount if they want it (or they can come up with their own mounting solution)
-Part A25 should have been included, and I apologize if it was missing! It is only for alignment during assembly and definitely isn't necessary, it can be substituted with various other objects of similar size and function. After assembly this part will not be used again.

Thanks, Andrew. When I get up and running, I'll print A31 or something else. No problem with the PSU.
I'll be watching for your updates to Instructables re the wire management.
I bought a piece of inexpensive 5m belt, and that worked out fine; cut 2 of 1.5m pieces plus some left over. Belt clamp system is nice.
