Ps - makerbot stepper mototr driver board chip has been removed (aswell as 2 tracks after they were incinerated) but will solder wire on to fix prob - uni are currently playing with the gerbers and are sorting out making new boards for makerbot, inc stepper boards from the gerber files - however the holes used are mny! 13 drill sizes in total! will @makerbot to let them know to change these sizes so that they can reduce tooling costs in manufacture!

am uploading my progress of electronics onto twitter - roboteernat, anf flickr - appears in my flickr pool :D

what a day...

its not been a very good day for me, i recieved an email saying my parcel which contained my makerbot electronics and nozzels were in with parcel force awaiting a customs charge. The charge is £47.52... so i go to my car to drive there and pay, when about 50 metres up the road, i hit a HUGE STONE ON THE ROAD, CAUSING A MASIVE GAP IN MY TYRE AND BUCKLING MY WHEEL HUB... and with that, it meant i was late getting to the parcelk office to get my bits, so today has cost me about £150 extra :(

i then went to tesco to comfort buy and eat cr$£ but the good thing is that i got a new wireless keyboard and mouse - its wireless so i can use it in my room on my lap, as apposed to being tethered. - plus was better than half price in tesco - £11.99 - Logitech one

will upload pics soon when i have my usb phone cable

Makerbot order

My order is being sent of the makerbot electronics and nozzelds :D - thank you @Clothbot who gave me the heads up that they were on sale, subsequently they sold out 24hours later :D

anyways no internet connection at home, so updates are few, but i will try and get the password :D
