I used hairspray to get the prints to stick. My prints look rather crappy and it seems as if the nozzle is staging through the precious prints.
I have kind of lost my urge you want to print anymore.
I don't know or where and how to start fixing this problem.
I noticed that the spacer between the hotende and the x-carridge was charged down at an angle that was causing the sensor to knock the part as it was printing. I put a cardboard spacer in and then it seemed to work better.

I have got the new aluminium X-Arm reinstalled now and I changed the design to be like it was in the Ormerod 1 where the rib actually grips the M5 nut, Since I cant successfully print yet that's the way I have to make things happen. I wonder why did they remove that nut grip on the Ormerod 2?

...(Since its winter here I cant seem to get the heated bed up to 110'C)

I tried to download a new Slic3r update but every single version I tried to download gave me this annoying error.
It seems Sli3r no longer allows you to download their software.

I still cant get my ABS to stay stuck.
So I very reluctantly mixed up some ABS slurry. but have not yet tested or used it.

Also I am contemplating what to do with the Duet housing as I cannot fit a fan cover with it in the way.

Its funny, I find it easier to upgrade this machine and to fabricate the parts myself that to actually make a design and have the printer print it for me

I have added the two silicone diodes as suggested by dc42 and boosted the voltage up all the way to 14.7 volt but I haven't yet tested how it affects bed heating.

There was a question I kept forgetting to ask.
In slicers they give the option of controlling fan speed, but I see no variance in fan speed of the hotend fan. Does it always only blow at one speed?
How do you connect a separate parts cooling fan and is it able to control that fan speed?

Regarding the LED, it probably couldn't handle 120C for long periods. It shouldn't be difficult to replace it. You could use a through-hole LED if you don't want to solder a SMD one.

Although the bed is at 120C, the general temperature within your enclosure should be much lower. I recommend that you keep the Duet below 50C is possible. Ideally the PSU and Duet would be outside the enclosure.
