STLs for the carriages. The test carriage worked well, though I once again had to get Chris' help because unless you have an over abundance of belt it's difficult to clamp it together with two hands.

Still to come:
- Other two carriages.
- Wiring & routing.
- Configuration & measurements.

$5 hotends

It moves!

Got the firmware updated and the motors plugged in so I got it to move at the Spark event tonight. Now to:

• configure the firmware with all of the appropriate dimensions
  
• wire the hot end, thermistor, endstops, and extruder stepper
  
• determine and implement something for the print bed
  
• test print!

Hey, hey guys. Guess what?

   





It needs extruder calibration, and the nozzle might be smaller than it's labeled, but it's printing!

Woohoo! Definitely ready for some calibration, but good job!

NICE!
good job dude!

Calibrated it today. Extruder steps/mm were 2/3rds of what they needed to be due to the Greg's extruder gearing. I need to level the glass and/or add a z-probe, but it prints pretty nice. Plenty fast too. Just a little bit of rounding on the corners @ 200mm/s due to flex. Going to add some rubber bands on the rods to see if I can control that a little bit.

NICE!
good job dude!

Thanks, but I definitely didn't solo this build! You did awesome on the CAD and plenty of others helped out with both cost and build (Chris, Nate, & John off the top of my head).

Time to print!

Here are a couple of pictures from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd print.

Makes me want to print a huge clay Batman!
