Just finished installing it this evening. Going to update the firmware, run thermal model, and PID tune tomorrow. Also installed the silicone bed mod and need to level everything out. Got a busy day tomorrow, wish me luck.

Its something really dumb like forgetting to heat up your hotend before you install it and it doesn't make a seal or something
