After following Reprap for about a year I finally decided to take the plunge with a Makergear kit. I've been reading through these forums for about the last month gleaning as much info as I could, and wow has it helped me during my build! Massive props to everyone here for all their contributions. I still have a long way to go but have gotten the main chassis built, electronics soldered and working, and have gotten the Y-axis to respond to commands. I've been documenting my build as best I can, maybe it will help someone else in their endeavors.

Basic configuration:
Makergear Prusa kit
RAMPS 1.2 (ultimachine.com)
heated bed
1.75mm filament drive with 0.35mm nozzle
Sprinter firmware
Repsnapper
Skeinforge

Hi Germanicus - if you have questions or want to discuss your build with others who are actively building MakerGear Prusas, stop by the MakerGear IRC channel.

Thanks Rick! I got some useful advice today in IRC and have now made two successful test prints! Next thing is to design a shotglass so I can properly christen my printer!
