Kit Issues

[InoxDragoon]

I believe I got one of the last 1.0 kits, since my belts were too short and I didn't get the tools. So some of these items may have already been addressed.

That said: a few suggestion, if able:

1. Add a paper with this Repository in the kit! I have my printer about 75% built and some of this info would have been really useful before hand.

2. What wires do what in the kit? Some are self explainatory, but others not so much... Namely: Which stepper cables go to what stepper? Which of the 2 connectors on the XY endstop harness goes where? What are some of the loose wires for? which side of the Pi/Spider cable go to which board? With some research and/or trial&error these can be figured out; but a more streamlined assembly could be accomplished if the bags were labeled or a pallet picture was shown here. I think the v2_spider_wiring shows some of this, but the X and Y Endstop wires are shown as all black, were as I have Red/Black/White/Yellow that split off to 2 3 pin connectors with one of them going to pins 1 and 3, and the other conforms to pin 1 and 2.

3. Do not tin mains wiring! this is a fire hazard as high amp draws can cause the solder to melt, then cause electrical arcing in the screw terminals and/or solder the wire into the terminal. either pre-strip the wire a little (leaving the insulation on the end) or use ferrules.

4. A sample layout of the basement would be helpful. i've had to re-order the board/power supply a couple times because some wires were too short for my layout. I started with what was shown on Voron's website and had to move everything around a couple times as I added wires.

5. Link to the Spider Repository or list Klipper configs on this Repository. At the least, provide a printer.cfg on here that corrlates with the info here. I know the newer kit has Klipper pre-flashed, but I'm not sure what's best starting out. would that firmware work for my kit? better yet, if someone wants to try a different firmware, but then revert back to Klipper, they could roll back easier this way. Long story short, a baseline would be helpful.

Thanks for your feedback here. I update the repo, hope it can help. You suggestions help a lot.
