I have rebuilt my i3 using Opoenbuilds Vslot and have to say WOW. just printed a bracket to mount my dial indicator on the x carriage, I have spent about 3 minutes tuning the bed. So far corner to corner side to side within .005" of perfectly flat.

I will post pictures of the parts I printed to do the upgrade and some test prints when I get some free time.

Here are some pictures of the parts I designed and printed to upgrade my printer. I need to reprint some of them now that it is upgraded.

Setup octoporint. Wow pretty slick, nice to be able to visually monitor and control from anywhere you have internet
