Printer Ordered

Sniffle,

I actually looked at the belted extruder, if it cuts the weight by half as it says, I imagine that would have some impact on your ability to crank up the acceleration and improve speeds while maintaining quality. :-)

A backup extruder set is a good idea!

filament guide http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:298386 I suggest using a length of teflon tubing (like the kind used for bowden extruders) with the filament guide to prevent binding.

So is mine! My problem is opposite to yours, I need to stop vacationing (in RV) and get back home where the tools (and snow) are.

Well, if your choice is to vacation and be warm or build the printer and be cold, I can understand the problem.

The printer has arrived! The wooden components, with the exception of the print bed support piece, is currently drying from its second coat of paint on the first side. I hope to be able to start assembly this evening.

That sounds good to me. I'm sure it will be a test of my patience.. haha

The first side is done, now onto the other side. This Krylon covers quite well with just two coats, it looks better than in the picture.
