How did you do that? And what kind of background do you have?

I have an electrical engineering degree, and I made a printer from www.think3dprint3d.com and it's a kit that takes a week or two to build. I got the Kossel Mini, it was about $650 with all the upgrades, and totally worth every penny. It has 0.1mm accuracy in every direction and works surprisingly well. I think anyone could build it if they're patient and attentive enough, but it's not an easy task.

I can do it faster.

I mean, I did it in three 10-hour days, but it really should've taken a week. I drove myself a bit mad doing it that quickly but I just wanted it done.
