My son built an H-1.1 for his senior project in high school. This is the build that I am documenting to update the Assembly Manual. The build was straight forward and the H-1.1 has many fewer parts and enough similarity to the H-1 that he was able toassemble it with the H-1 Assembly Manual and the updated drawings from SeeMeCNC. So, without further adieu, here is a time lapse sequence of him printing an elephant - not the easiest thing in the world to print!

This printer is running a Gen6 board with Sprinter and Repetier interface. It has the hot bed but its not working yet since the original Gen6 does not support it! We just got a RAMPS 1.4 to add control for the hotbed and a fan. Should be fun. Also planning to switch to the Repetier firmware.
He also has over 10,000 photos of the assembly in time lapse that we'll put together as a video too.

Michael

And it went really well. We take it for granted that 3D printing is here now. Most people have no idea that you can do this yourself!
