Appreciate the tips, I ordered the z flexible shaft couplings with the four set screws. The kit is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday...

Just ordered my kit last night. I need 2 of the couplers correct?

Here's the printed piece I'm using for my z end-stop. I originally intended for it to sit on top of the rail (hence the keyway) but forgot about it interfering with the wheels. If anyone wants the STL, let me know!

Please share that STL file. I printed this popular Z-endstop mod (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:336665) but the X-Carriage rails on the 10" i3v extend much further past the right vertical rail than the 8" i3v, so this mod wasn't compatible.

Here's the file, note that this was my quick and dirty version, and that the keyway on it is in the wrong position (it should have been on the other side) It fits pretty, well, you may need to do a bit of sanding on the screw holes depending on the screws used.

Hi usarmyaircav and welcome to the forum! I think you're really going to like your i3v!

Yes you will need 2 couplers.

I'm not sure what you mean about an LCD power supply, or if you are referring to electrical noise or audible noise.

As far as power supplies go, using the ATX power supply Colin from Makerfarm is working well for me so far. If I had to do it again, I might choose a power supply that has screw terminals for the power connections, because I think this would be easier than having to cut wires, solder, and properly insulate connections you'd need to make from the ATX power supply. I don't have a specific model in mind but you'll find that other repraps use general purpose, thin silver metallic power supplies. They might be worth a look. Feel free to run the specs by Colin if you want to double check they will be ok for the 10" i3v.

And for noise isolation, please see clough42's fantastic mods in this thread: http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...our-MODS/page2

I've recently printed and assembled clough42's Sorbothane Vibration Isolation Feet as well as the LCD Ramps Spacer with great sound reducing results!

I will look at that mod. I meant LED power supply which I think I will get.

My current question/problem is that I ordered it without a hotend as I am ordering an E3dv6, now I realize the E3d doesn't come with the metal plate that would hold the hot end. Colin says that theirs is a 4.5mm thick, but the E3d info at http://files.e3d-online.com/v6/Drawings/V6-175-SINK.pdf looks like the mount gap is 6mm. Thoughts?

Edit - anyone tell me if this will work? - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:315045
