Mechanical
No mods, yet. Note that Rick from Makergear prints with his X "backwards", so the X endstop needs to be reworked to be "correct"
Software
Ian (user link) is currently using the following:
- skeinforge link
- firmware TBD
Print Status
The printer is not printing. Ian hasn't been spending the needed time, had a bunch of self-inflicted heater core issues, and just generally hasn't worked through it...
Current Work
