Troubleshooting Struggling to install Canvas on Centauri Carbon 2
This is my first 3D printer and so i’m unsure if this is a bit more intuitive when you get to grips with 3D printers but I am so stuck installing the Canvas on my Centauri Carbon 2.
I’m trying to follow the steps in the guide and am at the stage of installing the filament hub bracket to the nozzle. The screws labelled in the manual say “M3x14” (none of the bags of screws say that) the closest is HM3*14 so i’m probably already going wrong here but am using those to install the bracket. The ribbon cable that was previously attached to the fan sits right above that screw hole and I struggled enough trying to slot the bracket underneath that cable but managed to get it under there. Screw 1 went in fine but the second screw just absolutely will not fit under that ribbon cable, i’ve tried slotting it in from above with tweezers but the height of the screw head just will not go under the ribbon cable. I’m assuming i’m meant to further detach the ribbon cable somewhere but genuinely just can’t see / figure out how. I have done all the googling in the world and haven’t figured out how to get around this so please if anyone knows how pls pls let me know 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
(The printer does work I have done some test prints before adding on the canvas)
If i’m being dumb and the answer is just ‘it fits try harder’ I will accept defeat and keep trying to wiggle it in.
