Iv'e been watching over your shoulder whilst you have been putting together your dream 3d printer after you talking it over with Cvoinescu and Jeff (JLG) would you mind if I joined in and made one with the same or very similar specs?
Cheers

I left the following message for Cvoinescu on the general introduction page
"Hey Cvoinescu
Thanks again for the advice
I have been following Jeff (JLG) on the "ORD BOT Hadron Help Appreciated" thread.
I am so impressed with your and Rickmellor's assistance, advice and insight I am going to take the plunge and copy the build package Jeff has put together after listening to you guys if thats OK with Jeff
Jumping over to that thread now to ask
Cheers

Yeah sure, I don't mind, it's an open source product on a public forum, even if I wanted I don't have any sort of right to stop you, lol. Here's the list I used for the extruder:
J-head hot end, 0.35mm orifice, 1.75mm filament
https://www.hotends.com/index.php?route ... duct_id=88Mounting plate for the hotend (wasn't sure if I needed it, but read somewhere that it's good for extra heat dissipation)
https://www.hotends.com/index.php?route ... duct_id=81This is the exact extruder I got, seems a little shady, but was more specific then all the other listings I saw
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem? ... 1254286594this is the list I found as far as what you need to assemble it
x3 608ZZ bearings
x1 M8 hobbed bolt
x1 M8 Nyloc Nut
x1 M8 Standard Nut
x4 M8 Washers
x2 M4 55mm SHCS
x2 M4 20mm SHCS
x4 M4 Standard Nut
x4 M4 Washers (originally said M3 Washers, but I figured since they are meant for M4 screws, it was a typo
Because as far as I know, and M3 washer doesn't fit on an M4 bolt, can somebody correct me if I'm wrong?)
x3 M3 10mm SHCS
x1 M3 30mm SHCS
x1 M3 StandardNut
x2 Springs
0.297 Diameter
0.049 Wire Diameter
0.669 Length
x1 M8 20mm Smooth Rod
And here's the instructions I'm going to follow.

The rest is very easy if you have the ability to Google efficiently. This forum was a great help, I just needed a foothold to start with, and it was a great one!
