Shout out from Denver CO

Hey all... Great to be a member of this crowd! Been looking in for a while now during my research.
Received my Max the other day and just finished the chassis. Whew! Took me 5 hours just to square everything up... So I think this is going to take longer than the suggested 15 hours. Seems to me there should be a fixture to help square it up all at once. I did have to sand one of the doors down, as it was way too tight of a fit and was throwing one of the towers off (side to side) when it was closed.
I found that cross locking tweezers helped a lot, better so far than the hemostats suggested in the assembly guide. But I already have a few.

Curious about the new arms, seems like I do need to sand them. They are real tight on the u-joint.
Probably my first mod will be magnetic.
On to the skates tomorrow. I think I should call in sick, so I can get this done
I am horribly excited to see my first print, even if it is horrible
First order of business after calibration prints will be to create some tool holders for various jewelry tools. Followed up by a robotic spine (well, someday).
Again, I am very excited to be a member.
Cheers from Denver!
