 (Apparently some early adopters got M2.5x16mm socket-head instead of the M3 for attaching the terminal block. ​ That's what is shown above. ​ If you got the M3, you may have to use the nut to crank down the screw head  -- or vice versa  --  into the terminal block. The M3 nuts fit in the terminal very tight and it will have to be jammed in. You can take the M3x16mm socket-head and thread the M3 nut on the end. You can then align the nut on top of the terminal and gently tap it in, ensuring that the nut stays flat. The terminal will flex somewhat, but as long as you are not using excessive force it should be fine. After the nut is seated in the terminal, you can back the screw out and insert it from the bottom side to attach the terminal to the x-carriage. The picture below shows the terminal already mounted, DO NOT try to jam the nuts into the terminal while it is on the aluminum frame!) ​ (See [[http://​forum.bukobot.com/​index.php?​topic=2.msg154#​msg154|here]],​ and the later posts.) (Apparently some early adopters got M2.5x16mm socket-head instead of the M3 for attaching the terminal block. ​ That's what is shown above. ​ If you got the M3, you may have to use the nut to crank down the screw head  -- or vice versa  --  into the terminal block.
