Carve King Instructions Corrections

I thought this might be a good place to start plopping things that I notice from the instructions while going through them.

On pg 19, no mention of nuts for corner bracket when gathering parts until you come to the part where it says to use a m6/m5 nut.

"Now grab two each of the following: Corner bracket, M6x40 machine screw, M5x30 machine screw, M6 split-lock washer, M6 Flat washer, M5 splitlock washer, M5 flat washer. Slide the entire frame so the front over hangs your work table slightly. Place the first corner bracket on the bed and against the front frame. Slide an M6 flat washer onto the M6x40 machine screw, and place the screw up through the bed, from the bottom. Slide and M6 split-lock washer over the threads, then put an M6 nut onto the threads. "

Thanks for noting that. Also, for anyone who hasn't grabbed instructions in the last couple days may want to go to the resources page and grab version 1.02 that has a couple little tweaks to it.

Instructions do not show mounting the 4 little heat sinks on the boards in the computer box. Do we use them?

Thanks

I use them. My advice with electronics, the cooler it runs, the longer it runs. Definitely won't hurt! Use a little thermal paste and call it a day.

Aforww has a good perspective and is generally right. We don't call for It in the instructions because the fan forcing air has proven to keep it adequately cool. Also, they come with a double sided tape on that isn't a thermal adhesive. I didn't want people to attempt to put them on, have them cocked a little, and the aluminum bridge two pins in the driver and destroy electronics. Just place them carefully if you choose to use them.

LMAO. Generally.....
