Great contribution for a new member,

Never seen Ethernet cables, But it does look neat, Alot better then mine wich is well, has alot of wires haha :P
I hope you enjoy your stay here ^^

I bought a kit from one of the Grad Students at my school. It took a while to get the kit together and working. But when everything was together, I didn't really have anything that needed to be printed. So the printer started evolving itself. The original parts were black plastic, and everything on my printer that is new is not black plastic.

The extruder is a heavily modified Wade's extruder. For some reason, my extruder motor would wimp out and not have enough power some times. So, I kind of brute forced it with a very low gear ratio. I had to warm over the Wade's extruder to have enough space for the gears. And of course, I had to have auto_bed_leveling. So more iterations of the extruder to have the servo nicely embedded in it and to make it so the Z-Probe can kick down with high repeatability. And of course, messing with the extruder meant connecting and disconnecting things all the time so having the network cable jacks makes it real quick and easy to put the extruder on and off the printer.

Ye, And in my opinion its pretty nice, And as they are cheap and common its not a hassle to get one.
More companys that make kits should think about this one to be honest ^^
Didnt even see the Z probe, as its hidden away in your pictures :P

Looks like a great printer, nice job!

I am here still fiddling around to get the offset right in the Z(just bought some parts to get my printer auto level ready), so far its pretty good, But still a very little off. a few hundreds i am guessing.

Oh well kinda getting a little off topic here i guess.
