The extruder is live, long die the extruder! Err, wait..
I've gotten the 3d printer finished!
But it ran only a few minutes before the extruder head ate itself, and melted it's PTFE thermal barrier. Booo! I have a new one and spares on order.
It's quieter than I expected, which is good. The final build area looks like 7.5" x 6" x 9". I managed to hide away all the electronics underneath, except for the extruder controller. A short circuit nearly fried my extruder controller, but I was able to solder up a bridge past the fried traces. I still need to set up my opto-endstops, but that's mostly just a wiring issue.
