Work Session #2 - Sep 24th - 3 hours

H came over Saturday and we spent 3 hours working on the Automated Build Platform. Some tequila was consumed.

Here's a picture from the online instructions

Looking at the on-line instructions.

X and Y platform assemblies. We have most of this done (photo is from the on-line instructions)

Then Sunday I went to Fry's Electronics and bought a soldering iron for $2.99, so we can solder the leads to the motors.

Today we got started on building the Makerbot. H came over at 8am and we worked until 11:30.

We worked on the Y-stage assembly and the automated build platform.
