Is your calculator code available? I'm wondering what would happen if I just plugged 100+ points into it

Here is that part of the instruction PDF, that causes all these questions. Advise needed.
NOTE: seeing your new posting right now. Big thanks. We're getting closer. :-D
So, I have to connect the pins 2 and 3 together?

SIDE NOTE
Also making some thoughts to combine many of the Kossel Reprap 2020 parts with parts of a CLIP 3D printer (liquid resin tank), this way I could create very large parts, and around 25x to100x faster than with a filament-based 3D printer...

Yes, I know, Legrand. My only remaining concern is, if I should connect the three pins of the X probe servo location on the RAMP board. Paul gave a sketch, where it seems, only pin 2 and 3 need to be connected to each other with a jumper. On that I need verification if I understand correctly. I have not much knowledge with electrical circuits, thus I prefer to understand fully before doing anything. I want to prevent any damage because of wrong-doing, that's why.

Thanks. I did it this way now. Correct?

I've finally finished the manual calibration. It's not super perfect, but it's the best I'm willing to do tonight, or until I get the push fit piece so I can print. Just to double check with how to set the Z-probe offset, if the X=26 and Y=-16 when the probe is over the center of the build plate, do I inverse the values making X=-26 and Y=16, or do I keep them as is?

Easy to check. Go to X0 Y0 Z5 and run G30 command. The probe should move over X0 Y0 and then go down to measure the height.

Now another question that I need to resolve. See the other attached photo. These are some small white plastic parts, but I didn't discover in my PDF instructions manual, for what I need these parts. There are also three screws inside: two small ones, and one tiny one. What are these parts needed for?

It's looking more and more like my effector plate is also to blame. Mine measures fine in the dimensions you show, but I think it's the alignment of the holes / warping that is to blame.
I'll know for sure when the aluminum one arrives Thursday.

Hi again. A question:
BELT
Now I need information or assistance in regards to the belts. Look at my photos: I wrapped the belt around the blocks, and used the black zip ties to fix it. The result is not too firm. Thus I used for the belt fixing a little bit glue in addition, but just between both belt pieces wrapped around the lower block. I did not (yet) add any glue between the two belt pieces that are wrapped around the upper block.
The instruction manual says, I need to rotate the upper screw (that one with the washer) in order to tighten the belt somehow. But doing so, I do not see any tightening effect. Do I misunderstand something in that manual? Did I do everything correctly? Please advise me. Thanks.

Alright, here is another question that came up - remember, I am not experienced with electrical work, and have to ask more than others here, therefore.
The wires are supposed to be soldered to the heatbed. Left and right are silver squares, to which I am soldering the red and black wire. The thermistor double cable has to find its place in the middle. But is it in any way to be soldered to the small silver squares in between the two big silver squares? Or do I have to use only the yellow kapton tape to fix it to its position? And where is the best position for that small glass head at the end of the cable? Does that glass head have to touch the surface (as I believe it has to)?

Hi Betty,
yes, I saw that manual already, but there are so many parts inside, that are different from the parts used inside my printer kit. Not only that the corner pieces are metallic there, but many parts have different shapes, different amount of bolts, and even different functions. I am not so sure, if that manual is as compatible to my printer construction as required.
I did the soldering already, yesterday. Seems I did it correctly.
But now I am facing a serious problem: it seems, some of the cables are missing.
Missing is the cable (red and black, two ends on the one side, a double connector on the other side) to be soldered onto the z probe switch.
If I would know, how that cable looks and especially how the connector is looking, I could try to purchase cables somewhere, and if I am lucky, maybe even such a connector (here in Jamaica really very difficult). I am feeling frustrated and sad.
