5/20 -Day 3

The motherboard of the printer before wiring

     On the third day of working, me and Cham agreed together that we were determined to complete the Printrbot before we left for lunch... needless to say we ate a late lunch that day.  The teamwork and coordination necessary for me and Cham to build the printer in the short amount of time amazed me at how good of a team we are together.  By far the most challenging and time consuming part of this project was the wiring inside of the Printer.  But after some carefully placed zip-ties everything fell into place as it should have.  After completing the printer and eating lunch we returned to the lab to start printing.  This is where Cham took over, he knew everything necessary to get the printer going as fast as possible.  Our first print of a cube was a mess to say the least, but after I took on the responsibilities of physical calibrations our second print was spot on, this must be a rare occurrence because even Cham was amazed.  After printing another cube or two we decided to call it a day.

Things became more and more messy with every wire plugged in
