Is anybody here interested in non-dyna content related my 3D printer?
I got the shipping confirmation this morning so I should have it this weekend. Have to build it, tune it, and test lots of different things before I get very deep into Dyna parts. Then comes the mods to the printer itself... I'm happy to post progress here but don't want to bore folks if there is no interest in that sort of thing.

Taking a break from assembly to grab a bite and stretch my back,
I'm really impressed with this kit. The packaging is exemplary. Instructions are thorough and well written. All the fasteners are stainless (with ID stamping!) Bearings are average (gonna upgrade those anyway). LDO stepper motors with nice laser engraving. Frame is all anodized or powder coated aluminum and extremely high quality (laser cut plate and surface ground extrusions). Gates belts, Ultimachine Rambo mainboard from Tennesee, Delta power supply, Etc. All the plastic parts are printed on the same machine I'm building. They have over 500 printers running 24/7 and continuously improve their design based on both customer feedback and their own production findings. The Chinese clones are far cheaper but they can't begin to touch this kind of quality. Keep an eye on Czechoslovakia, folks. This ain't no junk. Even the paper and cardboard are US-grade.
This is after assembling the frame.
Frame with Y axis carriage
Plus X & Z axis
