**Hardware**
- Idea: We could use a thermistor to measure the temperature of the spindle motor: this way the software could "let it rest" when it gets too hot.
- Note: The linear bearings of the X carriage must be glued in place (use epoxy or similar) since vibrations produced by the spindle motor move the bearings out of place.
- v0.9.7 has an improved Z carriage: uses much less plastic, it holds the spindle tightly and leaves more metal surface exposed for better cooling.
- v0.9.6b has a robust Y axis motor stand (improvement suggested and tested by **Yopero**), and the Z carriage now shows the name of the machine (how cool is that? :P)

**Firmware**
- No news, it is Marlin with support for G30 probing command

- Parts are designed to be printable with the small volume of a Printrbot Jr
- Bed leveling will be done with probing and an appropriate software.
To-Do list
--
- [DONE] Design parts for the X axis (this includes Z axis too, **will be using a proper spindle instead of a hand-drill**)
- [DONE] Design parts for the Y axis
- [DONE] Create template for the screws in the wood base
- Hardware: Reinforce left&right frames
- Firmware: Test various buffering/jerk configurations for Marlin
- Software: Export Z probing to a standarized file, ~~add bilinear interpolation~~
- [DONE] Manufacture a PCB (till then, it can't be v1.0 :P)...
