assembly of i3 pro b

Hi guys,
One major thought on the assembly of the i3 pro b that i will share.
Many more than likely do it already but i know i didnt.
After downloading the assembly instructions and printing them out and it comes to building the project its pretty overwhealming first up.
One of the issues i had is knowing what motor was what, x motor z motors, y motor, and end stop limits.
When it comes to adding them according the assembly info a good thing is to label the end of the motors with masking tape and writing what motor it is and limits.
This will save many headaches when you are new to the 3d printing game. Knowing what is the x,y,z. I know for me first up i didnt have a clue. This will save alot of time when connecting things to the electronic mainboard.
The same with the LED ribbon cables, mark what they are, saves tryin to trace it back and making sure they are correct.
3d printing isnt that hard, its a challenge and great fun. For me building this project wasnt that hard being from an electricial and electronics background.
Awesome fun and i great learning challenge.
When something goes wrong, like i had with a blocked extruder head, it was a simple fix , but without the help of those here to give ideas it would have taken a lil longer.
Enjoy your project
Pete
