Thanks all. I thought I had the latest firmware on it, but it seems not so I will sort that later today.

When I was looking at the thing for buying, I really thought it must be a few hours build time tops! Haha!

Re: Calibration. Should the nozzle tip be lower than the sensor? It seems to me that it should be so the sensor still gets a reading when the tip is at the bed. My sensor seems lower than the tip as it hits the bed when zeroing Z. I'm pretty sure this is not right so will adjust and try again.

BTW: what is the cost of a more solid bed?

With Bossac.exe and bin file in same directory, String for flashing:
bossac --port=COM(...) -U true -e -w -v -b RepRapFirmware-057t-dc42.bin -R
Where do I get Bossac...

...and where do I type that string?

Thanks everyone! I made the snowman, yay!
Adjusted the tip a little lower then calibrated it. Updated the firmware and web interface which is much nicer to use.
I feel much happier with it now and look forward to printing something interesting. Thanks again!

NOTE: The first 220 Ormerod (red plastics) printers supplied by RS Components need the USB lead to be connected at all times, to supply the logic side of the board with 5V.

I see this note in the instructions, but mine is a brand new green one. What am I missing?

Did I miss a mention of the jumper in the instructions? doh!
Anyway I designed and printed my first file (see attached). It came out OK, but quite rough. I think I probably need to calibrate slic3r because the provided print for calibrating the axis came out perfectly.
Is there some spec for the max speed, and min layer size somewhere? Like how many mm/s can it realistically print at, and what is the actual max speed the motors will go? If adjusting the print speed, will the feed rate of the filament automatically be adjusted to compensate?

Also set slic3r to do 3 loops (or more) in the skirt (print settings) - this is only to ensure that the plastic starts flowing properly before it starts printing the part - and it gives you time to pause the print and adjust the Z height if you started with the nozzle too close or too far from the bed without needing to abort and start again.
