As you can see I have everything put together, but It looks like a complete mess. wires everywhere buttons not attached to anything, and my controller board just floating out in space.
This is the most complicated electronics project I've ever done, and probably the most complicated 3D print I've every run on my humble Printrbot Simple metal, which I think It did quite well despite some warping, most visible at the handle seam.
I soldered my wires directly to the board which is why I I gave all the wires so much slack. I didn't think I would be able to properly manipulate them if I had them all trimmed short. but everything appears to be working despite how kludged together it is.
I really loved your build design zdayton, those heat inserts work really fantastically, and your instructions were very clear. However I did have the same problem as M2RiverRat when trying to use the most recent version of ardiuno, but downgrading it worked for me as well.
So if anybody could show me some pictures of a close up on there wiring, or give me a few tips and tricks I would really appreciate it.
