New XL owner

I ordered the partially assembled XL 5 tool that is due to arrive today. Does anyone have any advice or pointer on assembly?  I have been printing about 5 years now and built or assembled about 6 printers so I'm not a virgin, but this is my first Prusa. 

Thanks for your help!

Just follow the assembly manual and have an eye on the comments if there are any.

RE: New XL owner

I ordered the XL in February of this year and I received it in May. Unfortunately, due to other things that I had going on, I was not able to start assembly until mid August. This was my first 3D printer, so it was all a learning process. The online guides were very good, and Prusa was good about making updates to it based on user feedback. DEFINATELY, read the comments for all of the steps. There is a lot of good information and feedback in there. I enjoyed the assembly process and found it very valuable. I don't think I will buy an assembled printer if they have a kit version available.

Based on the news that was just released, I am going to get the new Core One kit, rather than the MK4S kit I was going to order. Thank goodness I was waiting on the Black Friday Sale information. I just wish I didn't have to wait until April for the kit version.
