I think i've figured it out from the firmware, thanks!

are the black leadscrew nuts plastic or anodised aluminium? if plastic, are they printed or moulded?

Mine's running now, printing fairly well until the filament snaps because my drive gear is too big and the filament path is not straight. The Z axis rattles on z-hop though, because the brass leadscrew nuts have backlash.

I was testing out prusa generated gcode files last night. Mine is binary compatible smiling smiley firmware and gcode

Currently power supply is zip tied in place (with some double sided tape) But this is only temporary


The lead screw nuts are plastic, defiantly moulded. Feel almost nylon like, but sadly can't be sure.
