She's wired!
I have the printer wired up today, I still need to hook up the quick connects. I could potentially wire directly to the board and start the testing process, but I'm going to wait on the connects.

Rods cut!
After measuring twice and from both sides I made sure to label the rod demensions before I cut them. I hope to have the not assembled this week!

Ugh.
Well I've hit a stalling point. After cracking the acrylic groove-mount, Sonny was kind enough to print me a replacement. After solving that issue, it seems that I now have a problem with the extruder. If my stupid hamstring keeps acting up I'll be unable to fiddle with it and get it printing again.

A lot to do today
At the meetimg tonight we're going to have all the bots running or getting assembled. We should have 2 mendels being put together, 1 or 2 makerbots running prints and possible even 1 mendel printing as well.
I'm going to need to take off early today to get the 20 bars cut to length and hopefully somewhat assembled.

A litle bit better...
It turns out that plexiglass works the best of all the passive heated build plates I can cobble together.

Grrrrr!!
Why is this refusing to stick? The build platform's around 240ish or so, the painter's tape is new and smooth. WTH?

PrusaBot progress
I've decided to take some time off printing the parts and work on any fine tuning I can. I'm going to reprint some of the parts that suffered warping before I found the oven trick. I'm currently happy with 2 of the vertex with feet, I'll see about reprinting some of the other ones tonight. My goal is to print tonight and tomorrow and have at least one set of parts for the Prusa...

Vertex#2
This is the second attempt at printing a vertex for the Prussia Mendel. I heated the build platform for about 5 minutes in the oven on a low temp. This seems to prevent bowing a bit. The piece is slightly lifted off the platform, but jot as much as the first.
