WOW is all I can say, What an awesome job Mark & Trish do packing and identifing parts for the build.

The steppers were included with the components, but they are having the driver board drop shipped direct to me.

Well more to come as things get here and get tested.

I received my 3 Brown Boxes Today and I wanted to start a log about my MKII.
Well this is not going to be a build log as I think Crash Did it well enough. viewtopic.php?f=135&t=894 I will be going over his build log many times before I am done.
This log will be more Reference for me and others as I build my MKII.

I am going to try and get away with out using a keyboard and mouse by adding a Touch Screen and...

I am taking a bit longer to build it as I am covering all surfaces with a slurry of hot water, rubbing alcohol and glue. this should give me a good sealed finish. give it a quick cuff with sandpaper, and then a quick coat of primmer. Attached files...

Let me tell you how I managed.
Picked all the boxes up on a Thursday, and did some snooping in the contents of the kitparts, and I thought: “wow this is something, a lot of neatly packed little bags, with the contents printed on the side, there must have gone a lot of work into it!””

Got finally home on Sunday, and unpacked the whole encillada.
The first impression I had was; “man, this looks like a giant jigsaw puzzle”!
Looked some parts of the video...

The attached pic shows the three boxes I rec'd late this afternoon from Brown Santa. I started culling through all of the pieces to create my major assembly "piles" (Y/Z Gantry, Lid, Stand, and Cabinet) and found this to be probably the most daunting task in this build.

Current status: I've separated the parts and confirmed that I have everything I need for all of the major assemblies. I would upload the photos, but I really don't want to risk...

Here are the parts, all sorted and stored as I set out on my journey to create the MKII.

Even my Salty's are excited...Had to throw 2 shots of them into the build, as they are my oversight committee during this entire build out. Attached files ...

I did my inventory and I had every part, except for the "Lid plexiglass windshield". I pm M&T and the manufacturer mail them out the next day. Where else can you get service like that? More to come.

First, this won't be like the comprehensive guide that Crash did; I don't think I could compare to that . Then again, this is my first PP and I want to get it running yesterday, lol.

General observations:
No offense, but I don't wanna shake hands with Mark if I get to meet him in person! He must have ALLOT of strength in his hands to push in and twist the "T" nuts. Every single one of mine needed assistance!! (Just Kidding...

Everything has been going great and though I have been doing things a little backwards from the Instructional Video it is getting done !!!

So far I have the stand and drawer , the lid( Excluding the plexi windshield) To avoid overspray when painting and now I am working on the Y Z Gantry!!!

I will post pics later when I get home from work so you can...
