Evaluation

Kit build went well. There were missing parts (not printed) that were substituted (first picture in video above), and some issues:

1. LCD did not work
2. LCD location on control panel was in the way of the cable chain due to old documentation (main documentation has been since updated)
3. Printed carriages needed cleaning
4. There was an additional hole in the front frame piece which marcin mistook for a Z axis hole, only to find out that it did not have the opposing hole, and this resulted in a build error. I had to redrill a hole for the second Z.
5. Frame had old epoxy on it. Had to clean it with a knife and grinder.
6. It turns out that 8 mm shafts were tight. I replaced X and Y shafts with 5/16" shafts. This issue may depend on filament and printer - for the printed part quality. I left the Z axes at 8 mm - but needed extra glide on X and Y for speed.
7. Back bottom Z axis hole was too far down for the Z axis to fit - had to redrill the hole higher.
