A5 extruder reassembly

Ripwind

Good afternoon!

So, I'm a new-to-me owner of a JGAurora A5. It was sent to me through Amazon, used, with what appeared to be a jammed extruder. I disassembled it to find that someone had broken the throat and it was stuck in the aluminum housing. JGAurora sent me replacement parts, and I'm going through the process of reassembly. The problem is it's been a few weeks, and I noticed a few screws were missing when I had originally disassembled the unit, and I've had a couple beers since then.

Since the manual isn't a ton of help, I was wondering if anyone could supply pictures of either side of their working, assembled extruder. Specifically, I'm curious how much their throat sticks out the aluminum block, and where the location of the x-stop is.

I assume the throat should be in as tight as can be, while still rotating as best I can the heat block so it's snug just up inside the fan housing (Like spun 90 degrees from what you see in the picture).

Anyhow, thanks for whatever help can be provided!

Alright, I figured out where the X-stop goes, and I feel like I'm a bit closer to the truth on how this thing should come back together. I am, however, trying to figure out what's supposed to be happening on this side. The fan cover partially blocks the middle hole for keeping the throat in place, and the bottom hole is far too small on the fan cover to allow the actual screw that's supposed to fit in there.

Sigh. I just realized, after looking at the Y stop, that the X stop is also busted as it's missing the button.
