I got the whole thing together!  Electronics and all... I had some issues compiling the firmware because I was using Arduino V1.0 and needed to be using alpha 0023... which I got, and successfully uploaded the firmware.

Now I am trying to power it up.

I am getting a strange noise from my y-axis motor when I power it up.  http://youtu.be/H0aTRrShmXE

So.... im kinda stuck there... hopefully I get some help on the reprap forums.

Also, today some friends and I are starting a monthly meeting about 3D printing at 5:30!  So I hope I get something going before then...

So I put together quite a bit today.... 

I am a little stuck on the extruder assembly... I don't have enough bearings... and I can't find any instructions on the assembly for it.

I cant figure out how this goes together... 

more to come Monday.

I have decided to start a blog to track my projects...  I am currently working on a few...

I am building a RepRap Prusa Iteration 2
I am building a 2 person 3-wheeled bike
I am repairing my Fire Bowl for the music festival season
and
I am designing some furniature for a new restaurant in town.

This blog will follow my RepRap project... I'll start some blogs on my other projects too!

I ordered my plastic parts from someone I met on the RepRap forums, my LM8UU bearings and my hobbed bolt from eBay sellers, and my hardware/electronics kits & steppers from ultimachine.com

I've received everything except the bearings, which are on schedule to be delivered tomorrow.

That is my assy so far.... still trying to figure out how the Y axis and the heatbed come together... there aren't any good instructions that I can find for the Iteration 2, with the LM8UU bearings.... ill get it I'm sure, just a matter of time!
