Santa got me a 3D printer for Christmas but since it's a kit she wants me to have it built in time to surprise me with it on Christmas morning :gig:

printer2.jpg Here it is after 2 or 3 hours of assembling. It's a Chinese knockoff of an open source Prusa I3 (1/3 the price). So far I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the kit. The plans are in a dialect of Chinglish that I'm familiar with so it's going together pretty fast.
