Use access through the doors to attach 
the top of the enclosure using M4 12mm 
screws.  You’ll attach the top on the four 
corners, and to each of the mid-panel 
connectors as well.  The slit is towards 
the front, and the small access hole for 
the filament runout sensor cable should 
be on the right.  The view shown at the 
right is from above facing the front of the 
printer.

Attach the filament sensor to the L-
bracket as shown using the silver screw 
that was supplied with the printer to 
attach the sensor to the Creality spool 
holder.  

Instead, you can use any spool holder 
on top of the enclosure and run the 
filament through the filament sensor and 
directly to the extruder.  Note: 3D 
UPfitters spool holder not included.
