Just some quick notes on the experience. Overall not difficult, and straightforward. However:
1. Remember to get Kapton tape.
2. Remember to obtain solder paste.
3. Think about the color of led you would like. It comes with red, but you can always substitute your favorite color.
4. Wasted time on soldering 3 wires onto an adapter. Could have just used a servo cable instead.
5. The thermistor solders to the PCB in an annoying way.
So you have to solder one wire then put Kapton tape over it and the solder the other wire. More room could be made for this in the design.
I'm planning to work with Matt from Fubar Labs to re work the aluminum so that it screws together flush. I'm worried the extruder head will crash into the exposed bolts.
That's all for now.
