Step 12.1 Could use a warning about Z motor cable lengths #53

It has been a long time since my last Prusa build, and I forgot that the left z motor has a shorter cable than the right z motor. I ended up having them reversed until it was time to connect the cables, and I ended up having to disassemble a lot of parts to get the motors in the right place.

A simple "Caution: Be sure the z motor with the shorter cable is on the left side. The z motor with the longer cable should be on the right" would save others the same grief. This could be added to step 12.1 and or fig 12.1.

Good point! Thanks will be improved ;-)

Would be good to clarify where the washers go around the Z motors as well.

This will be addressed in 2.1 release.
