Random question. So been printing happily for a few months now but i just noticed today the way I have my cables running is that very occasionally they are getting caught between hotend mount and Z threaded rods, no damage or anything but it has made me think. Has anyone found any good cable management solutions? Or have I just cable tied it to the wrong bit(top left corner)!

Most filament is 2.85mm from their spec's so that might give you even better results although always worth checking with calipers if you have them, I had a cheap roll that varied greatly.
I was printing with layer height of .4 as well until I tried Cura and it told me with a .4 nozzle I should do a layer height of .32(or something) as a maximum. although it takes longer at least it looks a bit smoother :-)
I am interested in octopi, is that using the raspberry pi camera attachment thingy or a USB webcam?
You seem to have made your setup look very tidy if your power supply is anything to go by!

Cool Ill have to give octopi a go.
I posted this on reddit a month ago [www.reddit.com]
even .1 layer height works better than I expected (I was using .4 for over 2 months and still thought it was great). there are quite a few useful tips and tricks from peoples comments/critiques of the print that might help, who knew that smaller layer height it should be a bit cooler for example.

I received my kit on thursday, and I've started trying to assemble it, but I'm having a problem trying to work out how the extruder is supposed to mount to the x carriage.
As far as I can tell, its supposed to just bolt on directly to the side, with the same bolts that hold the hotend in place. But that doesn't fit, the bolt that holds the extruder idler on is in the way.(see attached photos).
Am I doing something stupid here?

Yay you made the same assumption as me when I built this :-) You see the flappy hinge bit in picture 2, you have a bolt and then nut on the end, you just need a bolt that fits in, no extra nut, and it shouldn't stick out the other end. Seems illogically but works perfectly well and wont fall out at all.
also take a look at Greg's photo album here: [www.facebook.com] Makes life a lot easier getting some detailed pictures of what you are looking for.

Mine is identical to yours, and is the mirror image of Greg's pictures. mine is also in orange wonder if that means anything.
also my first few prints were mirror images because I had X and Y wired up wrong so its easily done :-)
