Greetings Makers,I decided to start a new thread for this. As you may or may not know I have bought an "Ebay £160 3D Printer". Well it turned up today and I can tell you that on first inspection nothing is broken, I was most concerned about the glass plate but it's ok, it even has blue tape already applied to it. Even more amazing is the X carriage, Y carriage including heater bed and the extruder are already assembled. There's a 500g spool of 1.75mm PLA in there and the build instructions are on the SD card.The box is split into 3 layers, I'll add pics of each layer below. Please note, the frame is not black acrylic, its laser cut plywood.As I would like this build to be a shared experience, I have a couple of questions.
Would anyone like to see this kit, in it's box as it arrived, before I start assembling it? I'll be bringing it along tonight (27th Jan 2016) anywayAre we behind the idea of a "live build" spanning a number of 3D Thursdays?
What's the best way of informing people of what we intend to do and when?
and finallyIf we are a go, how long should we wait before starting the "live build"?
thanksStevep.s. just for the record, this is the ebay listing. It took 11 days from order to delivery and I did not have any more to pay, this time. The seller missed my name off the address label, not really important but you might need to be aware of that.

For me I am not so fussed about seeing the build, but I am interested in knowing how it went and what the problems were (if any).

Might be worth just putting standard marlin on it. I suspect the thermistors are OK but simply arent the ones the firmware is compiled to expect.
All you really need to know to do it is the board type and steps per mm for each axis.

Sorry Steve, didn't see your email before this one!

Looking good at any rate for a cheapy printer! I would not recommend it to a total noob considering the experience you've had so far. Fine for someone with a bit of knowledge & experience, or someone with patience and the nous to look up/research the problem.
It's a fair point but all the ones I built from scratch gave me far more grief than that seems to have!

Well said on most parts there Steve. I do think the printer should live at the space though, and I really don't know how to solve the issue with space in 3D Printer corner. I have ideas, but they might be stupid and unworkable.
The existing shelves are low enough that a new set would just be in the way for us tall people. I for one would be bashing my head :)
The existing shelving could be modified I guess?
