 > I punch out the bridge and then run my pocket knife along the inner edge of the circle around where the nut goes to taper it and allow the nut to slide in a big easier, but that's it. The underside of the UHMW nut trap should not need any additional cleaning. > I punch out the bridge and then run my pocket knife along the inner edge of the circle around where the nut goes to taper it and allow the nut to slide in a big easier, but that's it.

-Some builders have positioned the switch on the other side of its printed bracket. ​ It should work either way.; however , this way places the wires in a more protected position and the end-stop switch is triggered by hitting the side of the front-left bearing holder rather than trying to catch the aluminum plate edge (this means that the importance of the endstop up/down position is far less).+Some builders have positioned the switch on the other side of its printed bracket. ​ It should work either way; however, ​the depicted orientation ​places the wires in a more protected position and the end-stop switch is triggered by hitting the side of the front-left bearing holder rather than trying to catch the aluminum plate edge (this means that the importance of the endstop up/down position is far less).

Also one mounting hole of the endstop microswitch is smaller than the other. The smaller hole can be drilled out with a 2.5mm drill so that the screw easily passes through it.
  
 Thread the endstop wires through the same oval hole near the motor, wrap all the wires around the assembly, and set it aside, along with its Z-slide sub-kit. Thread the endstop wires through the same oval hole near the motor, wrap all the wires around the assembly, and set it aside, along with its Z-slide sub-kit.
