Trouble in Paradise

There are two little issues at the moment.


1) One of the tack welds on the frame didn´t survive the transport.

I discussed solutions in this thread.

It is suggested we go to any repair garage and get some reinforcement welds. This should be solved easily.


2) The hotbed upgrades wasn´t delivered. So we´re missing the heating element and our power supply is also the weaker version. I´m already in contact with the creator to get the upgrade.

Baby is here


and it looks gorgeous.




We will be doning an in depth unboxing later.
