Thanks, success after so long feels good.
Well more calibration more tweaking. It has gone from "that is a square because I say that is a square." through "where you trying to print a square?" up to "yup that looks like a square." Which is a huge improvement but it's still pretty bad. I am sure I will spend more time calibrating than I did building it.
There are people who claim to be able to calibrate it in 20 minutes... ()^_^ I'm not one of them.
I wish you luck SkyeFire, the assembly is easy enough, but I recommend reading the entire instruction set before beginning, since some steps are easier if done out of order, esspecially in places where you need to have nuts in the plastic and then you add a screw. putting the nuts in the plastic first before the plastic piece is mounted tends to make it much much easier to assemble than trying to get the nuts in when it's already mounted. Use a little blue tape to keep the nuts in, you'll need blue-tape anyway since it is invaluable in holding the pieces together while you work. Plus PLA will stick to it very very strongly, so putting a layer on the heated bed makes it work much better.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
