Ordbot recommissioned

Received an Ordbot from Edward Ford (Thanks!)
Swapped in some minor replacement hardware just 'cause I'm fussy, and connected it to an Azteeg X5 mini (I'll post the config file presently) and even w/o any especial effort, it's printing better than my "repstrapoko".
The only real issue was one of the Z-axis motors seeming to not work --- turned out to be mechanical, even though things seemed level to the eye, and the threaded rod seemed to turn easily enough by hand, the motor wasn't able to budge it --- found that out whenI resorted to swapping a motor in. Once I loosened the Z-axis nuts, lined things up properly and tightened things back up, it all ran fine.
Next up is sorting out the wiring, leveling the machine (never mind --- figured that out), working up some way to attach the power supply and reworking the enclosure that I printed up so that it can be attached and the wiring properly run through it and getting it attached.
Then I'll have to see about adding an LCD / control panel....
Really appreciate the nice, open design and all the build logs which have been posted thus far.
Thanks!
