Assembly of a Prusa i3 MK3 kit

A few tips on assembly:

Take your time, don't be in a hurry
The online assembly manual on the Prusa web site is useful for several reasons: you can see the photos with better resolution, and other you can read the comments from other people, and, of course, make your own comments. It may also be different from/more up-to-date than the print version
Have a good-sized workbench or table for the assemby. (I used a drawing board on the floor. While it worked it was rather uncomfortable)
There is a zip-lock bag of miscellaneous hardware for each major assembly. Empty these parts into a shallow dish to make it easier to find the parts you need at each step
Routing the cables is probably the hardest part of the assembly. Again, take your time and be careful
Spend time on the first layer calibration (explained in the 3d Printing Handbook). Proper adjustment seems important for having good adhesion to the print bed

Mistakes I made during the assembly:

Put the x-axis assembly onto the z-axis screws upside-down. Didn't notice until after putting in the smooth z-axis rods and screwing on the z-axis top pieces. This picture is the wrong way. It was straight forward to correct.

Got the extruder placed to low in its holder. Pictures below document this. I did not notice until I was adjusting the bed leveling (PINDA) probe and I saw that the probe needed to be extended down an unreasonable amount. Correction involved removing the PINDA probe, the fans, and the extruder cover.

When putting the part cooling fan back on I overtightened on of the screws, slightly damaging the fan housing. To fix, I used a plastic washer from the spare hardware bag to spread the load a bit.

As it arrived on the front porch:

Box on top is second filament spool, ABS for a specific project I had planned, and not part of the kit proper.

Warning! Some of the following photos show the extruder not properly placed in its mount:

This is incorrect:

This is correct:

Fans:

Extruder cooling fan:

Part cooling fan (improperly seated extruder):

Bed leveling (PINDA) probe:

(improperly seated extruder:)

Hot-end cable routing:

Filament sensor cable ends:

3mm nylon filament; stiffener for cable bundle:

This is an interference fit. It may require filing the stiffener down or drilling the the hole out a bit. Don't overdo it.
