Box arrived in good shape. Contents impressive & well packed
Construction notes:
- Replaced the rectangular flat slot nuts with M4 Block nuts where possible
- Estimate = 9 as did all 3 in each vertical to base joints
- Extended cables for Z Endstop, and Auto levelling sensor, would’ve liked to extend Y Stepper cable slightly as well but is ok for now
- A couple of cable clips on Extruder stepper cable
- 2 x (5.4mm White Clip + M4 Hammer nut + M4 washer + M4 x 8mm Button head)
- A couple of cable clips on cable from effector where goes into base
- 2 x (10.?mm White Clip + M4 Hammer nut + M4 washer + M4 x 8mm Button head)
- 6 feet underneath to improve airflow & sit better/quieter
- 6 x (20mm rubber foot + M4 Hammer nut + M4 x 10mm button head)
- Some cables are a bit short (*just* long enough) and some are way too long
- Magnetic attachment for levelling probe ‘rocks’ as screw holding magnet into probe is not level with top of magnet:
- Removed matching steel plate off effector and drilled out 6mm hollow in center to accomodate the top of the screw.
- Instructions pretty good
To do:
- External Mosfet for heat bed
- Fan for steppers
Initial startup thoughts

- Loaded up Cura 3.2 and added this machine profile: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2367365
- First print:
