Thanks. The location of the Z Shroud screws was what I needed. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes.

You'll need to remove the bottom panel (there are two screws there.) You also need to remove the shroud that is covering the Z-Axis (When you open the top lid there are two phillips head screws, then pull the cover from the top and work it to the bottom.) Then you need to flip the machine on it's side. Locate the old connectors for the existing bed on the controller (It will be two sets of wires) disconnect them from the board and push some of the excess back (but not completely) then use either a zip tie or tape to temporarily attach the new leads to the old and use that to fish the new wires thru. Once that is complete pull out the old connectors and reverse the disassembly instructions to put it back together.

I recently got a replacement heating bed for my Press. I removed the control panel but there isn't sufficient clearance to feed the cables through. I need to dismantle some aspect of the printer but at a glance I don't know which screws to start with. Before I started popping out random screws I figured I'd ask on here since a heating bed replacement isn't all that uncommon with this printer.

Thanks in advance.
