Good progress there Joules

Mine is printing as well after some initial battles.
All in all a very nice kit with some very good components like the controller and the IR probe. Also everything is very nicely packaged and marked and the instructions are good.
The gripes I have with the kit are:
- some of the printed plastic parts are not of best quality (like my effector plate)
- the use of ordinary 3mm metal screws with ABS plastic, some are even too short (3 for the effector plate have very little grip) and some cause delamination because of the bad print quality.
- some of the Traxxas ball joints are quite loose
- one of the aluminium verticals was a tiny bit bent
The geometry is so complex that it's a little bit hard to pinpoint what exactly caused my difficulties in calibrating the printer.
The good thing is that the IR probe is quite reliably and repeatably triggering at the same height all over the building plate. What is not so good is that the height of the nozzle is varying quite a bit indicating that the effector is not staying exactly level across the build area.
Fortunately the calibration algorithm is quite good and by putting in height offsets in the configuration file I have managed to get decent results.
Joules, you should try to print the spiral test file that is on the SD card. You will very soon see if you get a spiral or just a mess of angel hair like I did on the first try.
