			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I would go a step further and buy the pins, housing, and crimper and remake the cable using a USB or Ethernet cable from connector to connector. As long as you still have the original stock cable even if it is just a few MM from the connector to solder to it is still a weak link. I had planned to do this but instead replaced the printer and sold to another guy willing to tinker with it.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>NERD RAGE MODE ON</p><p>Don&#039;t buy this printer unless you want to do many modifications and they will not be fun. Face hours of stress induced madness as you spiral into a state of constant pain and frustration. You will soon be catapulted unknowingly onto a burning heap of customs that is the XYZ customer base. The company is a satanic cult that is run by some idiot who does not know the first thing about design. This products firmware and software is a massive FUCK YOU. </p><p>Problems and solution</p><p>1. The cables connecting the the steppers and extrudes are flimsy and crappy, they will brake and need to be replaced such as I did with the yellow cable in the pictures.<br />2. The software is shit. Don&#039;t use it.<br />3.The heated bed cracks and is a pain to fix.<br />4.The Filament is expensive.<br />5. XYZ is as full of shit as Nintendo&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>Flash and forget, use picture frame glass as a bed and replace the connectors. Problem solved.</p><p>Over all this is a great and wonderful machine as long as you mod it and treat it well.<span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?NaOI5LJ.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?NaOI5LJ.jpg" /></span></p>]]></content>
