            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Carlos<br />
<br />
To answer some of your questions let me give the printer a little bit of context.<br />
<br />
I under took the project of assembling this printer to get a better understanding<br />
of the mechanics  and electronics involved in a 3D printer.<br />
This is what i have done, the printer is assemble 95-99% according to the Reprap instructions on this site, That much i can assure you and the images testify to this.<br />
<br />
I am currently occupied with other projects and do not have the time to complete the final stages of installing the software and performing an end user testing that would quite likely<br />
involve some readjustment so as to get it printing fluently.<br />
So the printer is being sold "As is" with the buyer undertaking to perform these activities mentioned above.<br />
So your question; are the electronics working? They have not been tested so i can not answer<br />
that all i can say is they are a set from Makeabot, which means the boards have been <br />
professionally assembled with firmware pre installed.<br />
 I have follow the instruction on <br />
the wireing up of the electronics but i may have made one or two small errors which would mean<br />
the buy may need to replace a wire or a couple of connectors, something of this nature.<br />
because the boards were braught pre-assembled it is highly unlikely there would be much wrong with them.<br />
The mechanics are similar, fully assembled, but may need some readjustments as i have <br />
mentioned("sprints" is a spelling mistake, I mean to write springs).  <br />
<br />
Bellow is a closer look at the electronics(the mother board is missing a capacitor in the image,<br />
but this will be put on before shipping) so that you can cross check them. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Hello<br />
<br />
  I would like to have more information about it.<br />
<br />
"This machine needs some finishing touches before it will be ready to print <br />
<br />
these include:<br />
Installing software to the Motherboard and extruder controller (instructions and software can be found on the Reprap website)."<br />
<br />
-* Are the electronics working, I mean, when you install the firmware to the boards you will have a working thing ?<br />
<br />
"The electronics may need slight readjustments made to them."<br />
What kind of readjustments? If I do it, does it will work?<br />
<br />
"Some small mechanical re-adjustments such as, tightening nuts, adjusting belts, adding sprints to the undercarriage of the print bed."<br />
I'm not english fluent ¿what is sprints?<br />
If I do, does it will work?]]></description>
