The next step for me is adding one of my Raspberry Pi's as a print-server and LCD screen, and using that to control a heated bed and fans. I grabbed a Hard Disk Cooler from MSY for $6, and that gave me two cheap fans to play with. I haven't noticed any negative effects to running my fan all the time, but only time will tellby PaladinCloudring - General
Sorry for the late reply, I never check the forums sadly. I'm using for thumbscrews (the slim ones printed best for me). I have removed the top locking nut and upgraded my bed springs for a more forceful hold. Here you can see my thumb-screws And here's the 60mm fan I've just started using, next to a Uni-X Wades which I'm just hobbing a bolt for. I've found it to help a ton!

I received one of their printers in december, and have started getting good quality prints, after switching to Repitier firmware (flashed bootloader with arduino mini ~$10), modifying the extruder pressure plate, installing a hotend fan, and adding bed leveling thumbscrews. The biggest issue I am facing at the moment is the acrylic print bed, which is warped and affecting adhesion.by PaladinCloudring - General

Another Aussie here! I'm in Brisbane and recently received a 3Dstuffmaker Prusa Kit. Only took a few hours to get built, and a few days to get calibrated and tweaked sufficiently to get good prints. I'm using Repetier Firmware/host, and the only values I have changed are my e-steps (through EEPROM, as I CBF recompiling), and that seemed to fix most of the issues I was having.
