I am in the process of building one. I have a question. The hotend's black plastic piece which goes into x-carriage assembly just slides in there. It doesn't latch and it is wibbly wobbly and comes off easily. Is this the case with you all? The only thing that could potentially prevent it from dropping out is the filament going through it. Is that normal, or you guys hvae done something clever. I was thinking about taping it.
Also there is one plastic tubing in the hotend bag with the other components. Does this tube go into the plastic piece on one end and metallic piece on the other hand?
Thanks.

Sorry it looks as if i confused you with the OP. Anyways, to attempt to answer another one of your questions, the the plastic tube is teflon (PTFE) and it goes in your hot end (after you put the metal piece in) from the "top." It's purpose is to keep the filament from sticking to the sides of the hot end as it goes through the plastic transformation temperature zone.Quote

Did you connect the provided jumpers with the jumper locations under the stepper drivers?
see: http://reprap.org/wiki/RAMPS_1.4#Stepper_Driver_Boards
you want the setup for 1/16 step.

Wow, really? Dang, kinda disappointing since they said it prints 9"x9"x7" (and even though that's rounding, the millimeter equivalent is closer to 8.6" square). Oh well, still going to buy it but glad I now know to go with the 8" square glass for the bed. Thanks a lot for saving me on that one!Quote

My heated bed from diy tech shop is 8.25" square.

Ahh, dang, was afraid of that, I only have an old soldering gun laying around, and the precision on that thing isn't great so might not work, but I guess I'll see when the printer comes. And yeah I knew that about the crimps, but it was n9jcv who said he decided to just solder the two halves of the cables for the end stops, stepper motors, etc., instead of using the crimps, that's what I was referring toQuote

The heated bed needs soldering the cables. The cables carry a lot of current and hence they are thick. The crimps are for connecting the end stops, and the stepper motors to RAMPS etc.
