I'm gonna use this thread to track upgrades/mods for the 3d printer...

Here's what I'd like to do, in order of priority:
- thumb screws for levelling bed from beneath (needed to level the glass top), http://www.soliforum.com/topic/242/thum ... m-beneath/
- magnetic glass bed (http://www.soliforum.com/topic/160/glass-bed/page/1 & http://www.soliforum.com/topic/814/magn ... -mounting/), this will really help with sticking
- acrylic or lexan enclosure (with either a hinged or magnet top), this will also help with sticking by cutting down on airflow
- z-axis anti backlash fix (http://wiki.solidoodle.com/z-axis-anti-backlash or http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34397)
- smoothing station (http://www.soliforum.com/topic/448/diy- ... tation-ii/)

I think I'm going to build this enclosure: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/1588/my- ... enclosure/

Added z-axis backlash fix and smoothing station to desired upgrades.

Z-axis backlash fix is done, glass bed is 90% done (just printing the magnet holders for the bed now), enclosure is 75% done (need to print a few holders for the top piece and add some more weatherstripping).
