It works about as well as you might expect.

Re: Good deal on a 3D Printer
I'd recommend against the DIY filament extruders. Its not that they can't work so much as it adds yet another variable to an already complicated machine. I've also got a filastruder from the initial kickstarter. It does work as advertised, but you really need an electronic spooler to go with it and a dust free, ventilated environment. I don't have a spooler so when I use it I'm left with a room full of filament that I may or may not be able to spool by hand, with enough variation in diameter that I wouldn't want to use it for anything that required a consistent finish.

I saw this earlier today and came here to post but was apparently beaten to it.

I like the part(s) where it doesn't work according to plan. Invention of the year 2015? Move over apple watch.
Shapeoko2 #3702:
DW611, arduino uno, gshield v5, NEMA23's on X & dual Y, NEMA17 on Z with ACME rod, 9mm belts, Mean Well NES-350-24V power supply, re-inforced gantry rails.
Soon to have inventables spindle mount and 1M X axis.

Re: Good deal on a 3D Printer
Very cool!
Glad to see someone having success.
I‘m currently struggling w/ my Ordbot to get it suitably tuned and calibrated.
I’m losing steps along the Y-axis — everything else seems to be working pretty well. Kind of wondering if I should try replacing the NEMA 14 w/ a NEMA 17.
