It lives i tell you !

Hi all just thought i would Introduce myself as Im new to all this.

I ordered my Mk3 in 22Feb 2018 and received it a couple of weeks ago. I started building it 4 days ago having thought it would be best to start when i was Nice and relaxed. After all i thought it may be not such an easy build !
I built it over a few days doing a little any day i had a spare few hours. I felt the key was to take my time and make sure the frame was Perfect. which although initially it looked that way but on tightening not so. With a bit of pressure and torque in the right way all was well. I have to say the rest of the build was simple clear and easy. Thanks to all the instructions. The only bit that seemed to give me trouble was when i loaded the filament..it went in the tube then got stuck then pushed hard was fine... Only trouble was the first print i did was 2 colour (which i didnt know !!) the bottle opener. all of a sudden at 85% the printer started bleeping !! i didnt know what to do or when to doit it. Unload filament... press knob...did that but that was when the filament wouldn't load properly. I checked the top cover which appears to have the 2 screw holes in the wrong place !! Turns out that it was pushing on the tube and forcing filament in at a strange angle, ok that can be resolved i thought with a punch and hey presto works and lines up perfect. All in all very happy. Inc a few pics let me know what you think as i have no idea about this printing !!just learning day by day. Thanks to all at prusa.. my idea is to make a top cover in Aluminium when i get a moment on my mill machine.
