Printer build update

So I know it has been a while since I last updated. My bad. But Things are going very well. Today I was home for the morning because I have a Dr apt at noon so there was no point in me going to work just to turn around and leave. This gave me some time to work on the printer.

Last night I connected the last of the wires to the switches and connected the switches to  the h shaped plastic pieces. Unfortunately I have realized that I am AGAIN missing some screws. That would yet another complaint I have with the mixshop kit is that there doesn't seem to be enough screws and not of the right type. This may be because my plastic parts of iteration 2 and the kit is iteration 1.

This morning I added the last of the wires and crimp ends and then I pulled out the power supply. Gotta say, I am a little intimidated by the power supply. I know its just a standard 350W computer supply which I have taken out of machines dozens of times but to have to short circuit a wire and then cut off ends was a little unnerving. But Everything seems to have worked out.


Oh I also forgot to mention that I installed the upper print bed




Now I just have to connect things together and see if it works. I am hoping to connect the motors and sensors one at a time and test things as I go. That way I will know exactly what is screwed up if I screwed something up.
