I've built the 1.2 MoBo (the reprap configuration here: ) and have one remaining question. The pins on the 3.3V voltage regulator appear to be clear, but the pin on the 100mF cap isn't so visible. It looks like the + leg of the cap is in the same hole as the leftmost pin of the voltage regulator (which makes sense to me as a smoothing cap) but I'm not completely sure. Can anyone confirm that'by Dangerdad - Controllers
Thanks for the heads-up on Fry's. From the online catalog, it looks like they only carry the Al paste, but I'll check it next time I drop in there. I haven't been there in years.by Dangerdad - General
In IRC I got some advice. I ended up buying from digikey. For future reference, this is what I purchased.by Dangerdad - General
I'm in Northern California (Chico, about 100 mi north of Sacramento). I'm starting my RepRap saga with the MB, and it'll be my first time doing surface-mount work. Where can I find the right solder paste? Can I get it locally? Or do I have to order it? If I have to order it, can someone point me to the right stuff?

Excellent. Thanks so much!by Dangerdad - General Mendel Topics
I'm working on collecting the list of parts to build the Mendel, but I'm having trouble with one part. The A3982 seems to be sold by Digikey only in lots of 31. I want 3 of them. Is this a new problem? Is there a known workaround?by Dangerdad - General Mendel Topics
