-    * [[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 +    * Progress: Jerry Fahner: Longer (blue) probe arm installed, arm 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 2 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
