11.4 – Attaching the Hot End to the Hot End Mounting Plate
You'll need the following components to complete this task:
Please note that all the wiring shown in the following photographs are using the older, 4
conductor 18ga wire. The 2 18ga & 2 26ga wires are secured in the same fashion as the older style.
You'll also need one short wire tie and the freshly wired up
hot end.
Start by removing the large nut and the press fit connector
from the hot end. Slide the mounting plate on to the hot end as
shown on the left.
Next, slide the spacer on to the hot end and then thread the
large nut back on to the hot end. Carefully tighen the nut with
an 11/16” wrench. You don't have to treat like a lug nut – a
little tightening goes a long way.
Using a small wire tie, fix all four wires into
place in one of the strain relief notches.
