PLEASE! Add information on best Z height. Adding the cable cover for the PSU wires in step 4 was more challenging because of the Z height I had. I don't know if its easier mid-height or all the way down, but 100 mm from bottom is NOT a good height!

I'm just setting out on this upgrade. Glad I saw this comment. Reading ahead, it looks like you'll want to drop the z axis down as far as it goes (318 mm).
