I got my power supply mounted and wired up.

I also got a "power entry module" with a socket for a power cord, an onoff switch and a fuse holder. Googling around for a cutout template, I found LOTS of posts of this one melting when used well within it's specs, so I just connected a power cord directly to the power supply and use the existing switch. Maybe I'll do something different later.

When I fire it up, the display shows black boxes.

Hmm. As an avr freak, I recognze these as "you have something wrong."

Looking for my camera to take a picture, the printer played a tune!

And now the display is in a language I don't understand.

Oh! Here we go. I can read this!

I used the jog mode to move all the steppers around.

Hmm. The build plate is warming up. I see fans running. The LED strip is on. This thing might be working!

Now, to put something on my SD card. Better clean the kapton tape. Oo. Better get some fresh kapton tape as there's a hole in my kapton.

"There's a hole in my kapton, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There's a hole in my kapton, dear Liza, a hole."
