1 axis ...  I can print Pencils !!!! 
I had to off center the belt because the stepper did not fit under the bar clamp, because I decided to use the pre-existing sissy holes that were already drilled ..    that's what I get for using sissy holes !

This is after I corrected putting the Y motor mount on the wrong side of the F#*$&@ toothed belt bearings !  (oops)

Top assembled - Y motor mount put on correctly (I think) - now I got to get some measuring thingies and get Jiggy with it....

 

Yes Amazing !   This small device has overcome the gravity force of an ENTIRE PLANET !!!  It stands by itself !  There are no hidden wires and no trick photography !  Thanks to the help of DJUltis it has grown to this amazing height !

Theoretically I have all the parts, and now I've promised Alessandruino that I would spend at least 1 hour a day putting it together...

Ok, here we go - I'll be looking at the following video series in order to guide me - 

 

 

 

Final package came in the mail yesterday evening.  Now, I just have to put it together !

Hmmm.... Not enough stuff in the picture. Where is all the plastic? And more stuff?

Yes, you are absolutely correct...

This is the stuff I've been waiting on for so long... I'll put all the parts together and take a picture (soon as I can find some table space) :P

Cool finaly, it's been a long wait.

Hope you get a bit of time to build it. Someone on Letsmakerobot has been building a prusa with all kinds of pictures during the steps. But I guess you had to wait such a long time now, that you must have build it in your mind at least a dozen times.

Getting going! One hour per day, that's a good resolution. Are the printed parts okay until now?

Parts are great !... The assembly video I listed is not an official RepRap video - and I noticed some of the parts are different.  It's interesting to see the evolution - everyone making slightly different parts for different reasons.  I now go back go the RepRap site whenever things don't look the same..

Now comes a round of measuring stuff and tightening down.

I'm glad I promised Alessandruino - I usually make software, and I can easily spend all my time there - it great to do something different !
