Before the kit ships¶
Note · Chapter 00 — Before you start
Do these the week batch B00 prints and passes Gate A, months before the cartons arrive — none of them needs a kit part: Steps 00.8–00.11 (tools, consumables, flat reference, bins), 00.14–00.16 (heat-set practice: this is Gate B's insert row, Step B00.7 — seven KADRICK M3×H5 inserts from the kit already on the bench, set by the adult with the iron's stock conical tip, one per pocket of the one Heatset_Practice coupon; the helper never handles the iron), 00.23–00.29 (reading the manual's front matter), 00.30 (start the log — Step 00.10's gap and Step 00.32's post dates are its first lines) and 00.31–00.32 (the three lifelines and the two gating questions, which gate batches B06/B07). Step 00.13 waits for kit day, because the LDO brass tip comes in the kit. The three hardware trays for Step 00.12 are a bench print: print them any time before kit day (print plan § Bench prints). The steps below stay in bench order, so on the first pass skip past the kit-day steps and come back to them.
