    if this is the 'active cooling system'...i'v been told it come as a standart now...
    how to conect it ...ill pass that bridge when ill get there....preaty sure ill "thread" that too )

    did any one changed the wiring like 'jfkansas' sugested??
    Yep FFCP now comes with an active cooling fan standard, you do need to install the duct which is also included.

    One tip is to print from the SD. While it's convenient to print directly from your computer via usb, you dramatically increase the chances of things going wrong during a print.

    At some point, you''ll probably want to updgrade to a glass build plate, but the blue stuff that it comes with is good for your first few prints. I found that after a while ABS prints started sticking too well to it, and it was a pain to remove them from inside the machine.

    If you do end up using a glass plate you'll need to solve the problem of how to secure it. I tried just about everything, corner clips never held it tight enough, and metal paper clips could get hit by the extruders. The ultimate solution ended up being 0.5mm silicon thermal pads (the kind you use to attach heatsinks to cpus). These pads are nonadhesive yet sticky enough to hold the plate firmly in place, they also transfer heat to the glass very well, and there's nothing to get in the way of the extruders.

    yup...
    the glass plate sounds a good thing...preaty sure ill go with this one
    i think removing the printed object OUTSIDE the printer would be safer/Easier

    about the glass...is that should be tembred glass..or regular one?

    and i didnt get it yet...should i hair spry/glue?
    and how much should be spryed??..till it get wet...or light spray it like a "fog" texture?
