The main improvement that we will make is adding automatic bed leveling.


#'''Note: correction needs to be made based on the top 2 posts here - on end stop plug in location and change in firmware. [http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?406,512329,569248#msg-569248]. This Github note [https://github.com/therippa/Marlin] appears to say the same thing. Further, the first link also states that the firmware is outdated - outside of hte xmax issue mentioned.

Build Instructions According to Module-Based Design

Source of Kit

Build Instructions from Folgertech

These contain details, but procedures are inefficient and not in the same order as should happen in a swarm XM build. These are modified for the OSE case, though individual details are still relevant.
