Another Rostock Comes to Life

My Rostock lives!!!!
This was a really fun and challenging project - (I had never soldered before) But the instructions were straightforward and I felt that they were easy to understand.
I did make a couple of mistakes putting it together including:
1) I put the screws that hold the plexiglass corners into the wrong side of the boards and then had to find a way to get them inside the machine after everything was put together.
2) I learned that you should turn off the machine before installing the peak fan - and blew one of the tiny fuses on the Rambo Controller.
But everything is up and running now!
Also, I added a reversible USB genderchanger: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VS ... UTF8&psc=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as a USB port and ran a short USB cable inside from the port to the Rambo. That way I could plug and unplug the USB cable without opening the panel.
