Background

Not having really satisfied my desire to spend days on end cursing at a 3D printer, I decided to try and build my own. Mid-build, I moved to the Bay Area and into a smaller apartment with no room to hack on a 3D printer. I still have all the OpenBeam extrusions though. Those will come in use someday... someday.
