I have found the setting up of the bed to ensure levelness has been a real pain, so inspired by fotomas's modification for the Y Idler Bracket on the ormerod 2 and johneato's Y belt tensioning device for the ormerod 1, I have modified the Y idler bracket so that the acrylic Y axis end plate can be raised or lowered by an adjustment wheel. I have also removed the countersink holes that join the Y Idle bracket to the Y axis end plate and replaced them with straight holes.

You will need 1 x 30mm hexagon headed M3 bolt, 2 x 15mm cap head M3 bolts and 2 M3 nuts
Attach the Y idler bracket to the aluminium extrusion and tighten the 2 M5 countersink bolts and the M4 bolt and tee nut.
Using 2 15mm cap head M3 bolts, loosely attach the the Y axis end plate to the Y idler bracket, so that the acrylic end plate can move but is not sloppy.
Attach the Y belt as per the reprap instructions
Place the adjusting wheel in the adjusting slot and fix with the 30mm M3 bolt and M3 nut.
Check the bed for level.
If the P3 position is low then turn the adjusting wheel anti-clockwise just past where resistance is felt and if P2 is high turn the wheel clockwise just past where resistance is felt.
Re-check the bed for level and repeat in stages until you have a level bed at all 4 corners. You may well need to adjust the height of the bed at the centre front point.
Finally tighten the 2 fixing bolts and re-check the levels.

so the real issue is the availability or y-axis-end-plate.DXF called on line 99
Thoughts?

I would imagine test_square_pyramid is in the include file on line 4 (In my file dated 9/5/2014 21:51 at 6kb the final lines are :
// Tests:
test_square_pyramid(){square_pyramid(10, 20, 30);}
i.e the "module" keyword is missing) however I can't see this module called anywhere so I don't think it matters
