New heatbed wire cover warning: protect your LED during install

If you install the new heatbed wire cover (which I recommend), please be careful not to damage the LED.

Just between the big wires on the top of the bed is a tiny little surface mount LED. You insert the nuts into the plastic part, set it on top of the heated bed, and then screw in the front bolt from the bottom. When doing this, you may shift the new cover a round a bit to get the hole to line up.

When you do this, the cover can easily damage the LED. In my case, the LED no longer works. I popped off the cover to see what was going on, and the LED was loose and fell off when I touched it.

No harm done, and I found it a bit distracting anyway. Running without it won't hurt anything. The only useful information it gave me was "has my bed reached temp" when it started flickering. Unfortunately, I can hear that from the PSU clicking without looking, so the value is minimal.

However, it's worth being careful when installing

LOLOL. Yes. You are there when the clicking begins. Thanks for that. Made my day!
