Not too bad considering :thumbup: Something like the following might be a good early mod to address any possible play the bed carriage wheels...
Yeah, don't be afraid of printing some of the smaller pieces, the carriage and maybe the bed are the main ones to look for other options - you...
Mine is pretty much built, but sitting idle. After rebuilding it with the carbon fibre kit I just never got around to doing the wiring. Getting...
Tried some of their white PLA today, prints well, arrived quickly (ordered Sun, arrived Tue morning), also cheaper than blueprinted.. Slightly...
Last time I used the fab mini was some modified parts for my FT5 whilst building it. I figure it's good to keep around as a backup printer should...
Just stick to blueprinted PLA these days, had inconsistent spools from most ebay sourced filament I'd tried previously. Slight premium, but...
I just opened the hole on replacement strike plates in my place with a dremel and one of the small stone grinding bits. Very easy - best to have...

Are those clear spools of 14/18awg speaker cabling okay to use for heat cartridge wiring? Or should I go with nicer silicone stuff? Folger...
Unfortunately 2 machines out of action, 2 still in process of being built. Folger FT5 build about 90% complete, waiting on a few parts, but...
Boro is nice to have, def. not necessary, but for $25 + free delivery @ the correct size (pretty much anyway), it's the lazy way out /shrugs....
If you don't mind paying a little more you can get some boro...
Nice! Searched XH not XHP before so it didn't come up, glad I held off ordering.
So for the 6 pin stepper connectors I'd need: http://au.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-connector-contacts/1235948/ +...

Anyone know where I can find jst-sh 6 pin and 4 pin connectors for connection between steppers/board? Have ordered some from hobbyking, but they...
