As others have said, take your time, but don't over think it too much, it's a pretty easy assembly compared to others and was a lot easier than my X-Carve. For me, without any experience of building such a thing, it was two days.

I would say first day about 7 hours to make the rough assembly, second day about 4 hours to calibrate with some fine tuning of construction and prepare to print including reading the brochure about basics in 3D printing.

But it was during Christmas, when man must do much more other things. Need to say, that I had to stop after 7 hours and leave it for the second day, the concentration was already bad. Heheh, talking about the geeetech i3b assembly, it took me 12 hours to complete it it is due to complications with the parts and manual.

Introduction This kit contains the necessary parts to convert to our freshly designed extruder that uses gearing ratio for improved precision and resolution. Do not use acetone on powder-coated sheets! Turn the idler-body to the other side, take the second M3nS nut and insert in the slot, all the way in.

Slide the idler into the idler-body. Mind the correct orientation of the M3x10 screws. Before we assemble the motor to the idler-body, we need to rotate the shaft properly.
