What problems in particular?  I had a good experience with my conversion.  And it's currently sitting next to a factory assembled machine.  A few steps were a little tougher like lining up the outer panel screw holes in a few steps but other than that... It's running just as well as the Prusa assembled box.

Too many different kinds/size/length of fasteners.  Some awkward assembly positions.  It's Heavy near the end.
More of a printer made by engineers than a reprap descendant. Not that it's a bad thing.

The way it's built made it very easy to have a great square/cube end result! I don't think I pulled out a tape measure once 🙂 
How the build progressed had a good cadence with a great finish 😉

I would probably buy the preassembled next time but it's always good to learn how to build it up.

Have fun, take your time.

I think it was a great experience . Yes it was a big job, but everything went well and it was straight forward.
