Thermistor mounted!
I used Kapton tape to insulate each lead coming off the thermistor. I then used a bit more Kapton to envelope it, so I should be able to remove it without any issues if the need should arise.

Prusa progress
I re-epoxied the PLA bushings tonight. Hopefully they will stay aligned and in position now. The extruder head and heater core are installed. I have some slight fractures in the upper tab of the core, hopefully it will cot cause an issue. One belt is installed on the x-axis, I need to finish the y-axis, print bed and wire her up :D

Securing the PLA bushings
I was able to epoxy in the PLA bushings tonight. A buddy mentioned that it looked like I had an extra nut on the upper part of the front frame. He was right. I get to slowly back out the threaded rod to remove one freaking nut tomorrow. >.<

Resuming the Prusa build
I finally picked up the items I needed to resume work on the Prusa. I was able to get most of the frame built out and somewhat secured. I'll be working on the build platforms and PLA bushings next. I would like to be able to have this printing by the end of June.
