Parts

Note Before you anything to the Y carriage, double check that all the brass inserts are in.
Remove the wiring that comes pre-installed on the bltouch by disconnecting the connector. The kit wiring harness has a connector, these wires are not needed.
Put (2) m3 x 2 socket head screws pointing up through the holes in the BLTouch.
Thread a brass insert down on the bolt, tight against the BLTouch.
Pass the bolt up through the BLTouch mount.
Put a single M3 washer on each screw, and then an M3 nylock nut.
Attach the BLTouch mount to the printed Y carriage using (2) M3 x 8 socket head screws.

Locate the printed layer fan adapter, and insert an M3 nut into the slot on it as shown.
Attach the layer adapter to the bottom of your Y carriage using a single M3 x 6 button head bolt.

Attach the printed layer fan shroud to the adapter using (1) M3 x 8 button head screw into the hole that has the M3 nut you installed earlier.
Insert (1) M3 x 12 button head screw in the remaining hole to finish installing the layer fan shroud.

The Y endstop and part cooling fan share a cable harness (W16).
Attach the Y endstop switch to the Y endstop mount using (2) m2 x 12mm Bolts and (2) m2 nuts.

Bolt the Y Carriage to the Y rail using (4) M3 x 8mm button head screws. (Socket Cap Head Screws will not work here, use button head regardless of the kit you're building).
Note You may want a dab of loctite on the bolts for attaching the Y carriage to the Rail, they're hard to get to later.

Attach the 5015 blower to the layer fan shroud using (1) M3 x 20 socket head screw.
Attach the Y endstop mount to the bottom right two holes in the Y carriage using (2) M3 x 8mm socket head screws.

Attach the Revo Micro mount to the carriage using (3) M3 x 8 socket head screws.
