-Current Status: Fully Functional
+Current Status: Broken. Needs major refurb:
+  *Leveling issues
+  *alignment issues
+  *Adhesion issues
+  *X-axis has a weird "lump" sometimes causing prints any larger then a 20mm calibration cube to be offset per-layer.
+  *Y-axis limit switch was somehow damaged?
-Current workhorse printer at the space.

 Print area: 200x200x200 mm (approx)
-Could maybe use a bed leveling.
 The easiest way to use this is to generate your Gcode elsewhere (using Cura or other slicing software), copy the files to an SD card, and print via the printer's front panel.

 Modifications:
   * The hotend was upgraded to a Micro-Swiss all-metal hotend. The nozzle is "plated brass", so extended amounts of glow in the dark filament may not be the best idea until we get an all-stainless or something else.
-  * The extruder cooling fan failed and was replaced. However, the replacement is a 12V and apparently all the high-voltage stuff on this is 24V? The replacement is working, but I expect it to eventually fail. Need to get 24V fans sooner than later.
+  * The extruder cooling fan has been replaced several times (note: it's a 24 V fan)
