Hi Tom, <br><br>Good to hear from you, I am sure that you have done well in your exams. <br><br>The heat bed seems to have defeated us. It was always a tall order. There is one on ebay.<br><br><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=heat+bed+reprap&_sacat=See-All-Categories">http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=heat+bed+reprap&_sacat=See-All-Categories</a> if hhis is ok, i'l just get it.<br>
<br>There is some glass that could be cut to size. Haven't managed to get to a glazier. <br><br>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.<br>

Hey,<br>
<br>
Emerging from my end of year coursework and exams cave...<br>
<br>
I made a couple of attempts at making the heated bed but because it doesn't<br>
fit on one a4 sheet, aligning the two sheets is nigh on impossible. So I<br>
think buying one may be the best route to take.<br>
<br>
How'd the printer build at the MakLab go?<br>
<br>
Tom<br>
