right - things have been going on in the background.
I'm pretty much resigned to the crappy screen and firmware. If I use sd cards and the odd short usb print and use simplify3d to do all the controlling - I can pretty much ignore the screen and horrible buttons.
I've changed the levelling wingnuts for proper knobs that incorporate locknuts.
Added my own design cooling fan bracket.
I've added frame brackets and bolted the thing to a 5mm aluminium plate - this turns a slightly iffy frame, where the central frame isn't reliably attached to the bed frame, into a rock solid one that should hold calibration almost indefinitely.
I've made an adaptor that holds the bed belt properly level. Before it never reached the holder slot in the frame and was a bit twisty.
I've added a filament holder to the top.
Also added an sd card extender that turns the board's microsd socket into a full sd slot on a long cable.
Just levelled it - once i know it's printing fine and I've got the basic settings working I'll start messing about with the sizing g-code.
currently printing an articulated slug via usb.

looking good so far.
I'll go find my phone and take some pics.
