Where can we find the good instruction for the new FULL aluminum Prusa I3 ?

Sanguino headers are 90° so it collide X axis motor if you mount as instructed.

There is no M3x40 left (There were only 2), I have 2 M3 washer left and I never had those aircraft spacers nor the long spacer tubes...
So I just made 6 holes (4 taped for the board) at the right place, like on the old frame.

Other problems, the fan have 3 pins connectors with the wrong spacing for the 2 pins headers and end-stop have one joined pins connector instead 2 single pin connector.
I removed the connectors plastic shell and plugged the pins directly to the header pins

I'm not sure anyone even try to fully assemble this new modified full aluminum kit...
