I was tired of tearing down my only 3D printer every time I wanted to upgrade so I decided to clone it and upgrade the clone instead. This has been a great lesson in really understanding how the technology works and getting to research and develop new methods of 3D printing.
Wiring up the electronics for testing. I would later learn that the power supply was broken and had to get a replacement.
The y-axis V-slot 8020 piece was damaged. They offered me a refund. I ended up cutting off the damaged part, but at a loss to some potential length to my y-axis.
I'm not real happy with this z-axis bracket. Looking to redesign something different. For now it works though.
The ramps board was overheating and shutting down the printer. This was my solution until I figured out the problem.
My friend complained of cable management, so I used some parts from old power supplies to clean things up.
