Notes from the Mendel Max Build, Jan 19, 2013: Actions performed:
- Tapping all of the Al extrusions took considerable time. Everyone should be tapping together, or the pieces should be untapped. Note: This step could, and perhaps should be performed ahead of time if we have a larger class. Tapping one set takes approximately 1 hour for one set.
- The heated platforms needed the lead wires soldered on. This step takes approximately 15 minutes per kit to strip the wires, tin them, and solder them to the build platform.
- The steel rods for the bearings needed to be cut and finished. It took approximately 1.5 hours to do this for three printers.
- Loading firmware to the Arduino boards was the next step.
