Hello guys!

Now, a few pictures of my z-axis, and a few things I printed for now (sorry but can't upload images directly, will add a link): http://imgur.com/a/UNJD6

Very nice, thanks for the detailed description and introduction! Where did you get those cool models?

Where did you find the printable brace for your lid? is that 1 piece?

It is 3 pieces and I made the designs for the horizontal and vertical brace parts. They are working really good in protecting the extruder wires/filament tubes and I haven't gone any further with the idea yet.

Note: I am using the flat guide instead of the arched one. The arched one looked better but allowed the guide to rub a little with the angle I had for the filament tubes coming into the lid.

I have a question and that is you level the bed but you want the Mightyboard to start Z just a little lower or a little higher before it lays down the first bead. How do you do it? I could have sworn I saw on the panel a compensation setting for Z but the last time I printed I never did find it.

YESSSSSS! I was able to get my QIDI today and set it up with the fan part, the new spool holders(rather not the black ones but metal), and the 7.8 firmware...Right now it is rockin and rolling. Thanks to you guys for the start Gcodes as they are working great! I tried for both ABS and PLA. Tho the PLA is coming out bumpy and not smooth like the ABS...Is this normal? I will try to take a photo and attach it..

Hey, I got them from here:
http://www.printablescenery.com/
They're not free.
if anybody is interested in the theme, I suggest you click on the indiegogo banner at the top of that page, they're offering a big bundle there containing mostly everything they did until now.

I see they are selling the 10mm rod kits on Ebay now. $30.00 plus 20.00 shipping from China. I sent them a message and they said it was a 10mm kit as it doesn't say it in the description.

No. that nozzle along with the tube was removed a long time ago to try and clear the clog.

Nice I thought they'd make it available. Good to see.
