I got the 10" i3v with the relay and it only takes about 4 minutes for the hotend and between 10 - 15 (110) minutes for the bed. I take the hotbed to about 106 because the bed struggles to keep a 110 temp. If you have any air blowing over these parts, they will take a lot longer to heat up.

What I found out is that the wire I used from the PS to the relay is not the right gage. It was way hot, so I shut it down. I will make a run to Lowes tonight to get some 12gage wire. It was after I had posted this that I decided to check for loose wires and when I grab the wires coming in to the relay it was like "wow is that hot" Thankful nothing seems to have melted down.

It's hard to say. If the compound was metallic in color, I believe drying out is what is intended - improving the bond of the remaining silver-laden part. The problem with that is any mechanical movement breaks the bond and the compound has to be cleaned off and reapplied. I used the old school white grease that seems to never dry out. Just a bit along the edge that the set screw will push against the block.

Another question I have is it seems like the spool holder rubs on the makerfarm filament roll, enough that I am pretty sure it isn't going to turn by being pulled from the extruder. Thoughts?

It should be fine as is. If you want to reduce the friction slightly try this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:326641

I should have clarified, that it seems to be rubbing on the sides at the bottom of the spool, because mine seems to be narrower at the bottom than the top, and there really isn't a way that I could have put it together wrong. (or so I think. )
On a side note, I have that thingi liked and saved in a collection.Last edited by usarmyaircav; 11-13-2014 at 11:35 AM. Reason: edited to add about thingiverse item.

I have three rolls of filament from MakerFarm - all three have different types of spools. Someone else reported that the filament they got from MakerFarm had a spool too wide to fit the spool holder. Is that what you mean? That would be a problem. Otherwise, something like gmay3's suggestion would help. At least one person is sure his extrusion jams/stoppages were due at least in part to the spool hanging up on the stock mount. Ray Suave has a thread showing use of a wood stick and bearings instead of the wood cross piece. I moved away from the stock mount when I was having stoppages, but I think my problem was ultimately repetitive retractions in the particular print I was working with.

Printbus, you have it correct the spool is too wide for the spool holder. I will have to figure out how I can do this. My current location gives me no where to put the spool. I will have to consider where I can move the printer to, or another way I can mount it above the printer.
