- Finished X-axis shuttle, (I re-cut it in HDPE but it took awhile since a number of cutting attempts failed)
- Attached upper brackets for z-axis guide rods and lead screws to upright frame
- Soldered female headers to end stop wires (had hoped that I had molex connectors that would work but the ones I have are not slim enough to fit on the headers).
- Designed and cut end stop holders, and secured end stops to holders with #2 machine screws
- Glued together acrylic for extruder mount to x-axis shuttle and attached to shuttle
- Designed, cut and mounted drive belt anchor for x-axis shuttle and secured belt to anchor with zip ties
- Attached bearing mounts for y-axis guide rods to print bed
- Mounted guide rod supports for y-axis to base of printer
- Mounted y-axis skate bearing mount for belt drive to machine base
- Designed, cut and mounted new y – axis stepper motor mount to machine base
- Finished initial configuration of Marlin firmware
- Flashed initial configuration of Marlin to Arduino Mega 2560 using Arduino IDE version 0023
