#FB2020 update. Think it’s pretty much there. The LEDs are in, in retrospect, I could have gone for less bright ones but the build area is well lit… xD

I’ve added a RRD Full Graphic Smart Controller., which needs mounting when I get long enough cables and wire management needs to be done.

I’m Pinning down the last few issues which are mainly slicer settings based and it’s good to go.

The Aztec Chieftain was printed in eSun PLA at 80mm/s base speed with a 10% slow down for outlines and infill at 0.2mm…

Also, trying to get a decent picture on my phone with the LEDs on is pretty much impossible.

Looks great. Are you going to release a material list and stl files, for people who might want to build one.

@Jeff_Dewe full BOM and STLs are on Thingyverse. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1313587

Thanks :slight_smile: nicely done on thingiverse.

Tha is a sweet loocking printer, but I would put the lights on the back of the aluminum extrusion that is on the top front with a small section of plastic on the top to bounce the light down.

@NathanielStenzel - there is actually a strip there. The aim was to light the area really well. I hate dark/yellow artificial light hence the powerful LEDs

@Ax_Smith-Laffin well, at any rate, if you put up some trim to diect the light out of your eyes (and away from the camera) you should get better pictures.
