+	[title] Crimping in the Prusa wires.
+	[* 1] Fully insert the Prusa heater wires into the Black wire Splice (one wire in each hole) and squeeze firmly to crimp. Pliers might be required to fully seat the blue cap into the clear body.
+	[* 1] For the stock heater wire, again be sure that *ONLY* the red cloth jacket is stripped off and clear of the crimp. *Only the white silicone jacket should be inside and compressed by the splice connector.* Pic 1
+	[* 1] Repeat the process with the Prusa Black & Red Wires into the White Splice.
+	[* 1] The crimps should be located as shown. If the wires are too tight/loose, the control box can be opened to adjust the final lengths.

+	[title] Cutting and prep the Prusa wires.
+	[* 1] Loosely route the E3D extension wires along the main wire loom and cut the existing Prusa wires to length.
+	[* 1] The Prusa thermistor Black & Red wires need no further prep once cut to length.
+	[* 1] The stock heater cartridge wires have a red woven jacket over the the insulation that must be removed prior to use with this splice connector. You can easily do so with a razor or wire strippers. It is important that you *DO NOT CUT/STRIP THE WHITE SILICONE INSULATION BENEATH* the red woven jacket. *REMOVE ONLY THE OUTERMOST woven JACKET.*
+	[* 1] Tip: try to un-weave the red fibers verses just pulling to strip.

+	[title] Trim/prep the E3D extension wires.
+	[* 1] Cut the thermistor extension wires (white) as shown in Pic 1 to a length of 2.5 inches (~63mm) from the *BACK* of the Micro-fit 3.0 connector. This first length will ultimately position the Splice in the wire bundle closest to the hot-end.
+	[* 1] Cut the heater extension wires (black) as shown in Pic 2 to a length of 8.5 inches (~216mm) from the *BACK* of the Micro-fit 3.0 connector. This second length will ultimately position in the Splice in the wire bundle closest to the control box.
+	[* 1] Separate the conductors one inch back from the cut (~25mm) of the two conductors from each of the cut ends (Pic 3). Do this to both extension cables.

	[title] About the Quick Splice Connectors
	[* 1] These splice connectors require no special tools to engage and are designed to handle up to 5A of continuous current, more than enough for this particular application.
	[* 1] Wires are *NOT* to be stripped prior to insertion in the splice connectors, with one exception outlined below. The piercing of the insulation and its support are critical to the function and retention of the wires.
+	[* 1] Insert the White/Blue pair fully into the crimp connector to just about the middle of the housing and then squeeze to complete the crimp. The blue cap should stop completely flush with the clear body. Repeat with the black pair.
+	[* 1] Connect these wire to the Revo tails.
	[* 1] The stock heater cartridge wire has a red cloth jacket over the outside of the insulation that must be removed prior to use with this splice connector. You can easily do so with a razor or wire strippers. It is important that you *DO NOT STRIP THE WHITE SILICONE INSULATION BENEATH* the red cloth jacket. *ONLY THE OUTERMOST CLOTH JACKET.*

+	[* 1] These wires are *NOT* to be stripped prior to insertion in the splice connectors. The piercing of the insulation and its support are critical to the function and retention of the wires.
+	[* 1] Position the wires of each end into the splice connector all the way into the body until they hit the endstop wall inside the connector (very close to the middle).
