Got my Melamine Frame Upgrade kit today and started building it at the lab at UWM.  I like what I saw.  It came packaged nicely however the rods were back ordered.  So I got the base put together and I will move on to the y-axis motor mount this evening.  I'm going to bring my own tools to the lab so I can work more efficiently.  Also, I plan to start some of my printed parts this evening.
