a brief update:
The tensioner on my original wades reloaded cracked, so my Ordbot was out of commission. I received my qubd hot ends, and after spending a bunch of time and money getting different wheels, Barts tensioner thing, I gave up on them. I'm using the motors, thermistors, and cartridge heaters with my new Wades Reloaded and Jhead. If anyone wants the rest of the bits I'll let them go cheap, but I don't know how useful they would be.
I just received my Wades Reloaded from this ebay seller:
http://www.ebay.ca/sch/andyh3009/m.html ... 4340.l2562 He shipped the parts from the UK for less money than some sellers wanted to ship from Washington state to BC, and his service was top notch. The quality of the Wades Reloaded is very nice, I think he printed on mylar or some sort of clear plastic, and then trims the parts out after. The plastic film is firmly attached to the prints.
I'm reassembling everything and I'll recalibrate this weekend, and hopefully (finally) get some good prints out of this machine.
