Yes the X axis smooth rods do need to be 20mm shorter for the V2. I used to make kits when I had time and just bought all my bolts from Blacks fastenings and threaded rod and my smooth rod from Tata steel in 6m lengths. The motors from Aliexpress will take a min 3-3.5 weeks to arrive though. I'm also a simple builder but I managed to make quite a few from scratch easy enough

M8 threaded rods, 8mm smooth rods, maybe a small computer case fan. Lots of spare time

My printer hasn't been run for nearly 2 months, since moving to shakeyland I don't seem to have the spare time

It's always been very slow down here in New Zealand, well for me anyway whatever time of night or day. I often have time to go and make a cup of tea while the sites loading

Aliexpress.com can be good if on a budget too. Look for ones that do free shipping

It fixes up any errors created in the model that might have inadvertently been drawn in. Solidworks created STL's have a tendency to need running through Netfabb

I run all my solidworks created STL's through Netfabb but the standalone program I can't be fagged having to keep uploading them to the internet, But I use Skeinforge 40 the last one before it went to the Sfact version

I have used Vik's ones from Diamond age and they work fine but on my Sells mendel I use the original brass insert version that goes with my Adrians extruder and its done 100's of hours with no slipping

I use bog standard 3mm picture frame glass because I had some. I clean it between each print with meths and heat it to 55-60c.
Prints stick like hell and I have to leave it to cool before they come off, which is why I have 2 pieces and just swap them

Have you checked bed temperature? What's the temp in your room compared to back in the summer?

I had this when I tried printing some Raspberry Pi cases, turns out my printer didn't like the recommended settings from the person who designed the cases, went back to my own settings which were not as fine and it printed perfectly. Another thing is to see what other electrical devices are on the same circuit. Even something like a fridge turning on and off can affect prints

Hmm not bad and I'm a joiner so should know. Looks good lets hope it goes good too. I have a Sells mendel and did build several Prusa's or should that be Prusi? But I sold them all and at the moment don't have much spare time to play since moving from Nelson to Chch for work

Wow you have gone ahead in leaps and bounds since first coming to see my Sells Mendel, while all of mine is on the backburner, still gets hooked up now and again to print something I need, but don't really have the time to play at the moment

I had some wheel bearing grease left over from fixing my car and used that, my Mendel was running 9 hours a day for about a year and even now there are no signs of any problems
