First, use some acetone and a qtip on some of the tight places that the plastic doesn't fit as you are assembling. For other places, you can use a keyhole file... they are about the same size as the M3 screws and works really well. If all else fails, you can use a heater or something else to melt the plastic... but only do that in extreme cases (like when you need to put a nut into a hole).<br /><br />For acetone, a little bit goes a long way. I used it to put the rods into the plastic pieces.<br /><br />For most of the assembly, the animation link works really, really well. The extruder is a lot different, but once you get to the point that you are assembling the extruder, you should be a bit more comfortable with the materials and have a better idea what you are looking at.<br /><br />Third... and this is very important... make sure that you have everything. Both my coworker and I were missing a thermistor. Also, the norcalreprap page says that they include everything except glass, clips and plastic... but my coworker and I both needed to buy additional m3 bolts, polyimide (kapton) tape, heat transfer gel and wires from amazon. That set back our builds by about a week or two.<br /><br />Also, the norcalreprap folks didn't reply to my email about installing the endstops... so I am having to improvise on some things.<br /><br />I'll be finishing my build this weekend and let you know if anything else comes up.]]></description> <dc:creator>jspears</dc:creator> <category>California, San Francisco Bay Area RUG</category> <pubDate>Fri, 04 Oct 2013 13:00:30 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?29,251616,251616#msg-251616</guid> <title>Building a Prusa Mendel I3 - Need some hands on help</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?29,251616,251616#msg-251616</link> <description><![CDATA[ Guys,<br /><br />I am in the process of building my first kit, I chose the Prusa Mendel I3 standard waterjet cut plate kit from Norcalreprap. I am running in to problems as I have never built anything like this before. A lot of the issues are revolving around the fact that there are 6 or 8 different sets of instructions on line ( some better than others) and I am having to pick pieces out of each different set of instructions. I have a lot of small questions but important ones that I am running in to. <br /><br />I am wondering if anyone is doing build days for RepRaps any more around the bay area. Is there a way to get some hands on help building this kit. I just cant afford to accidently destroy a part of the kit that I will have to struggle to replace. I would also like to know some of the tricks to dialing it in the right way.<br /><br />Any help or advice you guys could give me would be super helpful.<br /><br />Mark]]></description> <dc:creator>salinas_reprap</dc:creator> <category>California, San Francisco Bay Area RUG</category> <pubDate>Fri, 04 Oct 2013 12:13:26 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?29,140089,227306#msg-227306</guid> <title>Re: Fine Tuning in Sonoma County</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?29,140089,227306#msg-227306</link> <description><![CDATA[ Hello, <br /><br />I am facing the same difficulty with a Reprap Huxley.
