Sun Jun 20, 2021
- Assembled and installed y and z axes, with help of heat gun.
- instructions confused me, but could be helped by more pictures of the parts cleanly shown
- Had to drill holes in the base to get the bolts right to match with pictures, drilled one of the holes off center, and will fix by attaching through hole and idler into board base
- Squared up axes to carriage by using heat gun on idler and motor mounts without motor attached
- began the belt threading -- need to determine belt lengths prior to cutting

- testing different tools in OSE linux (I love this system -- clean, fast, easy to use, so many open source apps)
Fri Jun 18, 2021
- downloaded OSE Linux 2.0, created USB boot stick, loaded onto dedicated laptop
- heated some parts of D3D to align -- mostly testing, but it works quickly and well
- thinking about the importance of the numeracy that Marcin talked about in D4D wrt storing energy in a super-saturated pressure vessel. Also, just the importance of knowing our engineering & physical laws to guide the best approaches to Open work.
Thu Jun 17, 2021
- communicated with Marcin regarding OSE error on flash drive
- researched heat guns at Lowes - Weller for $24.95 after viewing 4D printing on this wiki
Mon Jun 7, 2021
- set up pc laptop with broken screen (connected to external monitor) for converting to linux
- received printer in mail minus a few parts (expected from amazon)
- could not find D3D Universal inventory list as a spreadsheet so made one from wiki page. Reconncile parts:

Tue Jun 1, 2021
brainstorm uses for the D3D and visit thingiverse.com; download Freecad on PC -- problems on Mac Big Sur prevented execution and had to be removed; biggest practical use seems build more D3D printers, create variety of tools for shop such as corner braces, bench dogs, clamps; but looking for more meaningful applications
Mon May 31, 2021
Read D3D Pro assembly instructions, but then saw the universal instructions (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VtukaPaT_3JcaUyZhQt-Q7Cz-bWjdQlizudmg00LbUs/edit#slide=id.g414d767b01_0_3) and read those. Confusion from placement of the links in the 3d printer shipping followup page.

Created log. Worked on follow-up https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/3D_Printer_Shipping_Followup
