Hi Tom,

Good to hear from you, I am sure that you have done well in your exams.

The heat bed seems to have defeated us. It was always a tall order. There
is one on ebay.

hhis is ok, i'l just get it.

There is some glass that could be cut to size. Haven't managed to get to a
glazier.

As to the maklab there were 7-8 of us. It was a good day, free food and
booze we got a good way through the build, I think. With luck we should
finish it this thursday. They have got some fantastic toys there. It is
well worth a look.
