Hi
1) Set up, build, and square ... I just put up a long and very boring set of notes on how to do that. It's not very hard. Just don't plan on doing it in 3 hours. Figure you will spread it out over multiple nights with some time off. A couple of weeks with normal family commitments getting in the way is not unusual.
2) Tools:
ball end metric allen wrenches
a level
Flat table with lots of room
calipers
string
ruler
tape measure
wire cutters
needle nose pliers
3) Noise - Mine is sitting between me and the TV in the family room. We are watching TV while the printer is running. I'm more bothered by having to look around the thing than the noise. I have ... errrr .... napped ... with it running. I would not recommend trying to do that.
4) Supplies !!!! Get some:
1/4" nylon wire covering braid. It makes the build look a lot better.
Multi color plastic tape (Home Depot or Lowes in the electrical department) great for color coding the wires
Order some filament with the printer
Get the hair spray
Get at least one piece of glass for the heated bed
Nomex felt for the bed insulation
Power supply - get the LRS-350-12. It's the newer version of the one he lists.
Number 12 wire
Crimp splices for 12 gauge wire
That should get you going.
