 +  * 3D print a buildlog.net laser cutter rotational axis: http://​www.buildlog.net/​blog/​2011/​04/​open-source-rotational-adapter-part-1/​
 +    * Progress: not started
 +    * FIXME (unclaimed):​ download the assembly STEP file, and export each printed part into an STL http://​www.buildlog.net/​wiki/​doku.php?​id=rotational
 +    * FIXME (unclaimed):​ print parts
 +    * FIXME (unclaimed):​ assemble and install in laser, connect motor to electronics

     * Progress: Hot end installed and tested. ​ Extruding works!     * Progress: Hot end installed and tested. ​ Extruding works!
-    ​[[user:tim:start|Tim Schmidt]]: determine the offset between nozzle and bed leveling ​probe, and update the printer'​s wiki page+      - Question: New hot end topped out at 206 degrees, is that a firmware issue? 
-    * [[user:tim:start|Tim Schmidt]]: configure and install updated firmware +    ​ProgressJerry FahnerLonger (blue) ​probe arm installedarm angles ​and offsets determined, firmware reflashed, test print completed. Standard MakerFarm thermister table used but seems to work OK
-    * [[user:tim:start|Tim Schmidt]]: test printing +    * FIXME (unclaimed)Some tuning needed with Y-stop. The test print caused chatter when homing Y. 
-    * FIXME (unclaimed):​ soak magma hotend in acetone ​- it's already disassembled ​and in the glass container. +    * FIXME (unclaimed)Fan over-cools hot end. A piece of tape on fan helped but a shroud is needed. Reversing fan may help. 
-  * Refurbish the solidoodle 3D printer +    * Progress: ​[[user:zimmer62:start|Joe Zimmerman]]: soaked ​magma hotend in acetone, cleaned with fire, polished ​and is soaking again in the glass container. 
-    * Progress: Joe Zimmerman has design for laser-cut base to contain power supply, electronics,​ and LCD+  * Refurbish the solidoodle ​3D printer 
-    * FIXME (unclaimed):​ upload Joe's design ​to the wiki+    * Looking for someone to help with the completion of this project. 
 +    * Progress: ​[[user:​zimmer62:​start|Joe Zimmerman]] has started another ​design for laser-cut base to contain power supply, ​MEGA / Ramps, Solid State Relay, Terminal Block etc.  A mount for the electronics,​ and LCD also needs to be created, possibly into the front of the base.
     * FIXME (unclaimed):​ laser cut a test to verify that the dimensions are correct, then laser cut the final version - ply? acrylic?     * FIXME (unclaimed):​ laser cut a test to verify that the dimensions are correct, then laser cut the final version - ply? acrylic?

 +       - A crimper and ends to put new ends on the motors and existing wiring are at the space. 
 +       - The fan will need a DC-DC power step down converter which is on hand at the space, but needs to be set for 12volts
