Nearly there..

Haven't updated this for a while, a lot of work has been done. Nearly all of the mechanics of the machine are completed. Limit switches on all axes, stepper drivers for all axes wired up, belt tensioners and drive systems completed. All that's remaining is to mount the heated bed and manufacture the nozzle heater assembly. 

I have the control side of the machine to sort out. I have an IBM Thinkpad laptop to use with it, but am struggling with the software side of things at the moment.

Here's a short video of a test program running on the machine.
