Hello all,

 I have recently had to replace my main board and thought I would share in case anyone else that has to is unsure or having problems.   The board is only held down by 4 Phillips head screws.  Disconnect all plugs, carefully.  

 Next you have to carefully remove this small board (I used a plastic panel puller so that I didn't hurt it.)  For some reason I can't upload images directly in my text so I've attached them.  You can get small terminals and wire from Home Depot for pretty cheap. It was under $7 since I didn't have any laying around.  One Terminal on the stepper motor/extruder as we've seen and run the other end to the board as done in the pictures I've attached. I have confirmed this spot with the great people at Cetus.  Edit: Don't forget to put your SD card in the new board!

Silly question... how do you remove the cover to access the board/internals? I'm trying to track down a rattle coming from the y-axis.

You turn the entire machine upside down and unscrew the four screws at the bottom of the machine, try search Youtube for Cetus heated plate you should find how they open the cover to install the heated plate
