Also, hopefully this is obvious, but some people may not realize it: if you want your entire machine to be safely connected to earth ground, you’re also going to need to remove paint where the screws attach the base to other metal parts of the machine. Otherwise, only your base will be earthed!
The wire color will have no functional impact as long as everything is properly connected, but I wanted to point out that as far as I know, the international standard for a chassis ground (earth) wire is green with a yellow stripe. This should also be true in the UK where the printer originates. In the US, the black wire is typically hot, and it of course would be disastrous if someone got confused and miswired the black chassis ground conductor to AC hot! https://www.skillstg.co.uk/blog/guide-to...
Note that the addition of these parts I designed might occlude access to the other holes in the base that are under the feet, so it might be wise to install them later. I’m not sure yet as I haven’t had time to get beyond this step; I’m just giving fair warning here.

In case anyone else is wondering, the “electronics fan” is identified in the packing list as “40mm Fan (20CM)”
The 20cm refers to the cable length.
Suggestion: “Make sure the sticked side…” ➔ “Make sure the side with the label…”
Can’t say I’ve heard the word “sticked” before in reference to a label. Or in any context, really.
Trying to hold the nuts in place with pliers while installing was frustrating and slow. I came up with what I think is a better solution here:
