[ELECTRON] Update on reprap

[Thomas Parry]

Hey,

Emerging from my end of year coursework and exams cave...

I made a couple of attempts at making the heated bed but because it doesn't
fit on one a4 sheet, aligning the two sheets is nigh on impossible. So I
think buying one may be the best route to take.

How'd the printer build at the MakLab go?
