        <title>Building a printer and need a mentor</title>
        <description> I have been working on my printer on and off for over a year. With a break of about 6 months when I started a new job. Now that I have some time I realy want to get the printer working. I am hoping to find someone with some experience that is willing to provide some guidance to help me get over the last few hurdles.

I have the x, y and z axis working (z is calibrated.... maybe). I have been struggling with getting the endstops connected and the the firmware setup correctly. Any help that I can get would be greatly appreciated and I will certainly pass anything I learn along to anyone who needs help.

I have build most of the printer by hand which is why I would like to get at least 1 piece printed.

I am looking forward to hearing from anyone willing to help.

Thanks.... Jeff.
