Description
Many thanks to the originator(s) of this Oribiter Volcano design, with integrated cable tensioners.
I had a few issues fitting it, so Im sharing the adjustments I made.
You will need to source the original parts from sources listed:

Rather than try to explain how it comes together from various mashup of parts, I hope my photos will demonstrate. I've included one photo shows where you drill holes in the top of the gantry mount - I put threads inserts in there, others have cut threads into the metal. Please don't do this over your printer. There are also two holes needed in the front-I mislabelled these on the uploaded photo!!!
Don't forget to put the nuts into the tensioner blocks before assembling the whole thing into the gantry.
Metal fragments will wreak your machine!
Its a big change putting in 9 more wires (5xBLT, 4xExtruder) - You'll want to have appropriate tools and parts, screws, etc.etc.
I used screws with flat heads when mounting the fans - you'll see they are sitting at a weird angle. You'll need 2 tapered head screws about 15mm long. Or just superglue some plastic to hold the fan base apart.
