OME, I was working putting the Z rods into the plastic tubing last night and I think it took a few years of life out of my hands haha. I think I will definitely be doing your rod coupler upgrade in the near future!

I've got my printer assembled minus the RAMPS, heat bed, extruder, and hot end. I'm surprised how long its taking me to put together. Maybe I'm taking my time to carefully assemble it, or maybe I'm working a little slower than most but I think the 3+ hour build time on the makerfarm website is a little ambitious! But that's totally ok with me. I don't want the build to end because I'm having a great time.
