    right got pronterface, attached usb.
    And by george it works !
    So far I've just been playing with moving the head around.

    heated the bed - that works.
    Hmm, extruder doesn't work.
    But hey, the rest is good :-)

    Had thought - maybe extruder won't feed till it's heated up.
    That seems to be working - heats up super fast too.

    Yep that was it - everything working :-)

    Had a play. Did extrude some plastic, but not much.
    Think it's having problems pushing it through the tube.
    Probably have to move the extruder and shorten the tube again.
    Figure I can mount the filament on the neighbouring strut and bring it across and up slightly.
    Might also switch to the 0.5mm nozzle.

    But all in all - everything works. Just need the tweaking and furtling to get it where I want it.
    Had simplify 3d moving the head around. Wouldn't do a phantom print, but that's most likely a gcode issue.
    Need to update the s3d on this computer and load it in as a new printer.

    Overall I have to give it two thumbs up :-)
