In this segment of the video, the focus is on assembling the printer. The base is slid through the tower frame, fastened with Hex bolts, and the spool holder is attached. Connectors are matched and cables are organized. The key step involves adjusting the springs to set the proper distance between the extruder and the base plate. The goal is to ensure a piece of paper can slide underneath the extruder without getting pinned. After adjusting each corner multiple times, the printer is ready for use. Preheating the extruder and base plate is emphasized, with caution due to high temperatures. The Maker Select includes a 4GB micro SD card with preloaded models for testing the printer.
