The dock cable is rubbing against the belt.

Please forgive my English

I purchased the dual-extruder version of the Original Prusa XL and later upgraded to the 5-extruder version. Now I've noticed that the dock cable router for Nextruder 1 and Nextruder 2 is rubbing against the belt, but Nextruders 3, 4, and 5 do not have this issue. Additionally, I observed that the hex screw hole positions on the dock cable router are different; those for Nextruder 1 and 2 are lower, while those for Nextruder 3, 4, and 5 are higher. I downloaded the STL files from printables.com and printed them, but they still rub against the belt.

I noticed that after installing the enclosure for the Original Prusa XL, there is a knocking sound when attaching or detaching Nextruder 1 and Nextruder 2 from the dock. However, Nextruders 3, 4, and 5 operate normally without any unusual sounds.

Docks 1 and 2 and not correctly positioned. Release the screws until you can move them, position them so they don't touch the belt and tighten very good the screws

I reinstalled the dock and indeed there were some installation issues. It seems that dock 1 and 2 are early parts, making them very difficult to install, while dock 3, 4, and 5 are later parts and are easier to install. Thank you for your response.
