Warning: This step is very difficult and I ended up breaking the extruder cable holder, luckily it still holds and is not a very critical part.

This section is challenging. There are a lot of little wires to deal with. I did find the instructions as-written were really good. Take time to study the pictures and go slowly when doing this section. My printer worked perfectly on the first try!
In previous chapters, I found the comments to be really helpful. In this one, they generally were not. I think this is because Prusa improved the documentation and/or the design since some of the older comments were made. For example, some comments say that you won't have any extra wire to leave slack -- that's not the case in Oct 2021. Plently of extra wire for all the connections.

I found this part even harder than the extruder assembly. The nylon thing and cable management stuff can call for better design and instruction improvement. For instance, first-time builder would under-estimate the effect of zip-tie orientation.... which can get in the way of extruder movement.
