Case Scenario

When it's important to understand how a 3D printer works.
For maximizing learning objectives, not build experience
Here's the few things ppl would build to get xp with understanding how the printer works.
Estimated time saved: -4 axes, -soldering, -some control panel loop ties, -mini-asembly of extruder

Axis: (add completed)

 * touch motor + drive pully
 * build idler
 * tension belt

Heated Bed:

 * add therminster,

Control Panel:

 * connect arduino to ramps board
 * Connect power supply
 * thermister,

Extruder:

 * assemble completed elements to make extruder
 * add fan
 * add sensor

Assembly:

 * put on the x-axis
 * hook up the x-axis
 * connect arduino to control panel
 * connect extruder thermister, heating element, motor
 * print

Total: 6.5 hours
