Prusa i3 MK2 Y-Axis completed

y-axis photosReceived Prusa i3 MK2 kit this morning and after quite a few hours only finished the Y-axis assembly so far. This is my first 3D printer and the kit has proved challenging to say the least. I feel like I was preparing for a moon landing, checking, double checking, triple checking, inquiring via live chat support so many times I think I drove them crazy. I think I redid a few things at least 10 times to get things level etc. My back hurts.The live support people are excellent, as is the online manual. There were some slight discrepancies, and silly misunderstandings on my end, but tomorrow it’s on to the X-axis assembly.For example, I was doing this on the floor when I realized I should check whether the floor is level, which of course it wasn’t. So I prepared a table that was level and continued on.The Y-motor-holder is slightly different from the online manual. http://ift.tt/1UeL3pf

Tips For Leveling a Delta?

I have been trying endless to no avail to level my Rostock Max v2. I can get prints that stay within the center to print really well but anything on the edges and it does not. Spend my whole entire day yesterday trying out various things to get my FSR sensors to trigger more evenly across all points but still nothing. Link below is an image with a spiral showing where I am having issues getting the bed leveled. The area between the Z and Y towers, and basically anything in the center. They are too close to the nozzle so that is why you do not see any filament.http://ift.tt/20DSMPN: Adding more information. I am running a Duet board running DC42 (RepRap fork), and using FSR sensors mounted under my heated bed with my nozzle acting as the probe. http://ift.tt/1YZ8B2R
