   * The backlash nut receiving the Z rod is too far to the back (probably from irregularities in the folding process of the bracket holding it). This can be solved by bringing the Z motor back, see those thingiverse attempt to fix this common problem (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2816946, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2752080, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2526607). My take on it was to make a custom adjustable bracket out of aluminum corner I had laying around https://i.imgur.com/bNhXhOz.jpg .   * The backlash nut receiving the Z rod is too far to the back (probably from irregularities in the folding process of the bracket holding it).

 Still cheaper than a Prusa, I have two hot ends I can swap (one for PLA, one for Nylon-CF), the Nylon-CF setup is top notch, the controler board is the best there is, I have autoleveling, and it (mainly) fits inside my ikea box :) :) (which acts as an enclosure, necessary for nylon). Still cheaper than a Prusa, I have two hot ends I can swap (one for PLA, one for Nylon-CF), the Nylon-CF setup is top notch, the controler board is the best there is, I have autoleveling, and it (mainly) fits inside my ikea box :) :) (which acts as an enclosure, necessary for nylon).

 +===Notes===

 +Would I do it again / recommend? No, too much work. When you want to go custom I realised it is better to start from the most popular base (ie, Ender 3) and if there is a simple solution out there for your custom needs (ie, silent board from creality) choose it.

 +Am i happy with it? Yes, works beautifully!
