If you order the new thermistor and PM me your order number, I'll do the kapton tape and crimp the ferrules to that wire for you as a courtesy. I don't know what else to do, and I'm sorry it has taken you 6 hours to assemble. It usually takes me about 5 minutes to assemble one, and another 5 minutes to heat it to 300C and torque it.

Again, please make a new thread for further help!

But what about that white wire I am attaching it to? I don't see that

Ok ran through those little metal tubes in an attempt to set up the new thermostat with no luck in the last 3 hours.

Not sure what this means? Maybe you mean thermistor?

I think what you call "little metal tubes" are ferrules. What issues are you having? Slide wire from thermistor into ferrule, slide wire from high temp cable into thermistor, crimp with pliers. Job done!

For example all the instructions show a side of the heater block with a large hole and 2 smaller holes but mine has no side like this. At best a large hole and one small hole.

I even asked at work since they do some various computer and industrial works with no luck with a length greater then the 20mm one I found at home depot.

Check out what they have there...when I fail to find all the fixins from Home Depot or Ace, Mcmaster Carr will have it.

Just make sure you get the hex socket M3...I used a phillips for about 2 days and ran back to the hex. Another option is to just print an extended z tab (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:135575). Once this is printed, if the side starts to crack or split where the vertical M3 is, let me know...I modified the design just a hair to strengthen it
