| * The fan on the power supply was not spinning, I'm not sure if that is a problem since we did not draw much current from the power supply during our tests, but it should be verified that the fan is in fact working, but limited to turns itself on when needed. | * The fan on the power supply was not spinning, I'm not sure if that is a problem since we did not draw much current from the power supply during our tests, but it should be verified that the fan is in fact working, but limited to turns itself on when needed. | ||

| * The screw's that hold the arduino and ramps board to the base are not designed ideally since you need to remove the bed to easily remove one of the screws. If given the chance in the future we should replace the screws with standoffs or another solution that doesn't require removing the bed to turn a screw, maybe a trapped nut under the bed. | * The screw's that hold the arduino and ramps board to the base are not designed ideally since you need to remove the bed to easily remove one of the screws.
