===Status===
The hardware is in place, and some cura profiles are available to download. Please make sure to set the bed size correctly in the cura preferences. (also confirm steps_per_E is correct.) The extruder clogs easy, and isn't very adjustable right now.
Otherwise, the printer is usable in its current state. Printrun is available on the connected raspi.

====Tuning====
* Extruder - Steper per E
* PID - '''Currently extremely underdamped'''

====Nice to haves====
====Nice to haves====
* Z axis replacement (z-rider?)
* Z axis replacement (MiZ z-rider?) -- Biggest flaw in current prints is Z-wobble.
* Better bolts to allow for proper maintenance of wades extruder. (Needs at least 2x hex-head M3 bolts 45+mm to work properly.
* Better hobbed bolt (Aonomus discussing milling makerbot-style pulley?)
