Have worked on the wiring schematic for the build guide, should be all complete, also added a direct link to you tube with a video guide on how to wire the control panel.

I have figured out a way to make sure that he z axis is absolutely parallel as I was getting constant jams.
Basically using a square ruler and setting it to the middle point where the z axis snap brackets. This would be easier to explain using pictures or video.

Worked on aligning the Z axis as I have been having problems with keeping the bed level. The heated bed could use extra support to keep all the corners of the bottom the same distance as the support rods. I was thinking of printing a few extra auto parallel brackets and placing them on the sides (the bed balancing on one rod holder is not enough support to keep it all even.

The Belts for the Z axis need to have the proper amount of tension. To much tension is not good. Will have to come up with a better procedure to find the right amount of tension. The Z1 and Z2 axis need to be parallel, otherwise they jam need to come up with a way mark up and label the frame before assembly of the kit. Make sure that the rods have been sanded and some lubricant is used.

Made a video tutorial on how to wire the D3D printer, find most of the components also orientation. Would be helpful to film videos showing how to assemble the frame and the x y z axis.

Tested printer with promising results I printed a few spool holders. I have to learn how to set up the heater bed settings so that the print does not lift off the bed while printing. Specially important while printing small items such as the spool holder. The settings that worked for me where the bed at 70f and the nozzle at 229.
I need to find a way to make the initial "skirt" of the small item wider so that it gives me more time to set up the babyzstep settings as I find it to fast and the initial layer wont adhere as well. Slowing down the printer speed in the initial layers helps with complete adhesion to the heatbed.

Worked on setting up Cura slicing software in laptop. I have found that after version 2.6 the printer profiles where not working for me. I had to download an older version of Cura to get it to work 2.6.66 worked fine on windows.

Assembly of printer 90% complete.

Belt tensioners needed to be filed down in order to fit. Used a Rotary tool with a small drum sander attachment.

Need a strong set of pliers to cut carriage belt. I used a rotary tool with small disk attachment.

I was able to wire all but to cables to the printer by piecing together tid bits of information including: Youtube videos that show wiring of the D3D Universal, D3D Pro wiring test. It would be of great value to film a walk through guide of wiring the printer. I would volunteer to film such a guide however first I must make sure that I wired my own printer correctly. On page 14 of my build guide I include clear pictures showing a rudimentary picture schematic of wiring the controller.

Two cables I have not found the pins for: the sensor wire and extra stepper cable connection for the y Axis (the controller has two slots for the z axis but only one for the x and y Axis) perhaps this have to be added on the Aux pins.

Worked on wiring the D3D pro. I used some information from available youtube videos of wiring of the D3D Universal. I created a collaborative wiring schematic using visual aids .I have documented most of the electronic parts by taking pictures of them. I feel that there's value in having an accessible for of communication and pictures and video aids help save time for the end user. I have posted a link to the visual wiring schematic on the Facebook OSE Workshops Group requesting assistance from members to help in matching the components to the appropriate plugs in the controller.

Worked on Build guide added photos to clarify on what order to build the frame and on what orientation. This should save new builders some time if they are working on their own. Also started building a picture library of the build parts to make collaboration between developers with more experience faster for them.

Made a photo backdrop background with OSE Logo,Used Vinyl plotter and vinyl. Started taking pictures of D3D Components and uploaded some of the pictures to the D3D Pro Build Guide.

Designed Branding For 3D3 Pro.
The Printer could be used as a vinyl plotter and and make its own vinyl decals.
I'm not sure how to upload the Design File for the logos I used an open source font as well and could upload it to keep any branding uniform in the future.

Have finished installing all axis assemblies to the D3D Pro Frame. Tomorrow I need to figure out how to attach the Heating bed. I learned how to download and open the D3D files in FreeCad. Need to sand off rods then polish with the Dremel as there is snag points when sliding on the track.

Working on assembling the x,y,z Axis. Having difficulty getting some parts to fit. Finish on some of the parts too rough Linear bearings would not fit. and needed constant tweaking with a Dremel tool.

Installed FreeCad in a windows computer.

3/21 7pm webinar Introduction to D3D printer with Marcin,
Tips for future Webinars. For new users to Sylk conference meetings, perhaps schedule a 5 minute pre webinar conference call. The purpose would be to make sure that all the logistics are worked out before hand. What needs to be tested is the microphone and camera of new user. Also to make sure that both parties have alternative contact information as a plan B such as Facebook messenger or traditional phone line just in case.

3/21 9pm Started assembly of the d3d pro frame. Pretty straight forward but build manual needs many clarifications and detail if it's to be relied 100%. Needs indications as to direction of brackets also it would help to label the 3d printed parts before shipping. Specifically the front of the printer and the direction of parts. It would help if parts where color coded.

Goal for tomorrow includes working on editing the build manual. It might delay the build process but would make it easier for future reference and developers. I will add as many pictures as possible as visual aids are more helpful than written instructions.
