I ordered a 3D printer kit about two months ago. It’s been quite a journey! Main steps (will flesh this out soon)
- Back and forth with 3dPrintersOnline.com
- Assembling the mechanical body. See annotated assembly guide.
- Hooking up the main board. Extending some of the wires by soldering additional length.
- Fixing e-stop soldering.
- Careful about power!
- Thermistor issues.
- Firmware issues.
- Trying to do a dry-run; switching to Repetier Host.
- Homing issues. Y-band breaks.
- Checking thermistor. 6k connected to the board; 100k disconnected from the board.
