The Folly, as I've probably noted, is an Anet A8 - which is a clone of the Prusa i3 model - and is pretty much the platonic ideal of a DIY kit, in my limited experience. I have more experiments I'd like to do one it, but I'd also like to keep the Folly operational so I can make parts for itself.

Obvious solution: wait for it to go on sale and get another one to rebuild as a three- head monster.

@Momentrabbit That's where I got the original from: same model, so I know what I'm dealing with. On a slow boat from Shenzhen, but I'm not going anywhere.

@Momentrabbit Side note - there's a $40 difference between EU plug and US plug. However, having built it, I am 99% certain the only difference is the actual shape of the plug - it wires directly into the switchmode DC supply, which handles 220/110 60Hz/50Hz. Which I'll be replacing anyhow, so. n.n

@Momentrabbit Moment... sweetie... please be careful with the electricity.

@JulieSqveakaroo I have an *extremely* healthy respect for electricity, hon. I quite literally have a CSA approved supply and NEMA-15 cord here aleady.
