Was making great progress till Hurricane Mathew stole all my power. I still havnt gotten a print yet, but I'm working on that direction.. I'm pretty sure that the transformer blew, so power probably won't be restored till to tomorow evening at the earliest.
But, I did manage to get some pictures

One issue i did run into was that it seems like the spacing between the mounting hole and the led pins is too close. This represents a dead short, definately need a nylon washer... maybe on the next revision spread the holes apart a bit.

Mounted my new berdAir on the side of my enclosure. I designed the mount to snap in. It holds it securely and i can remove it if i need to. Also, i added a little hat so berdie doesn't get cold

Nice overview of the 713maker.com effector and hot end mount. They gave me the mount for the accerometer board for free, and everything is nice and light. The new hotend ways about the same as the old one, despising adding the berdAir clip and accerometer board.

i made this "clip on" berdAir mount, i can easy snap if off so i can lower it to remove my nozzle if i need to. i needed a bit of hot clue to set it in place. I'm not sure how well it will hold up to the strains of printing, but we'll see.

I added a fan to move the air around my heated enclosure. I sort of feel like a lot of the heat is getting trapped at the top of my enclosure, i think maybe this fan will enable the chamber to heat more evenly.

Nice view of the underside of the 713maker effector mount and BerdAir hose. Like i said before, the berd air really pushes a lot more air that i'd expect. i can't wait to try it out

while i was at it i decided to add some proper led lighting instead of the strips. They even dimable..... took me forever to figure out you have to short out the ends of the led lights in order to get them to light up. (constant current).
