bed wiring instructions for vc4
Hi, the build guide and the commissioning guide for the vcore 4 is missing the bed heater wiring instructions, it only includes where to plug in the thermistor but not the heater leads. Can you please provide me with those instructions and diagram.
The linked instructions in step two of the bed wiring in the commissioning guide do NOT have the bed wiring instructions

One wire goes to ac neutral, the other goes to the unused terminal of the ssd. Polarity doesn't matter as it's a dumb resistive element.
Use the zip tie slots in the rear bed arm to hold it steady...

Finish the build. Then the instructions are in the commissioning guide. It's this way so you can do basic beacon checks before sticking everything down. Makes it easier to return the bed plate if damage shows up.

Hi, I have already done all of that, there literally is no guide for where to connect the bed heater terminals
Under step 2 of the bed wiring instructions it has a link to the power supply wiring but is missing the bed wiring portion

Do I need to swap out the ferrules for spade connectors?
Yes, and shorten them too, most likely
Okay thank you
Don't forget the ground wire, use the ring terminal and attach it to that one M3 screw in the bottom of the bed
Appreciate your help,
