not overtighten screws

tools needed to assemble the printer kit have been provided. Use the M3 hex key to tighten M3 screws
and the M4 hex key to tighten M4 screws. The color of certain components may change from photo to
photo and may not match your kit, however this is purely cosmetic and will not impact rove assembly.
