Topic: Base to Pro upgrade instuctions

Hello all. I recently purchased a base to pro upgrade kit and currently I am having trouble finding instructions for it online. If you could give me a link to some of the instructions I will appreciate it greatly. Thank you.

That's because there are not any, or at least mine did not come with instructions either.  Hopefully you are the type of person who likes to tinker, figure stuff out, and experiment because there are many things with current 3D printing technologies that you just have to figure out as you go!  I've had my printer only a couple weeks and I've spent as much or more time tinkering with it than I have printing.  What is your specific question?  How to install the heated bed?  Maybe if we knew what, specifically, you are trying to do then we might be able to help you more.

Yes! Can you please redirect me to a place where I can find such instructions as user mdrVB6 said.

Like I said, there are not published instructions for installing the heated bed.  Briefly:
1.  Screw it in place just like the standard bed.
2.  Run the wires thru the hole in the back of the case and plug into the board.  The location of the plugs will depend on your board but it is fairly easy because there is not many more blank plugs than total wires and they are color coded.
