Re: I am confused, I think
There are only 11 kits in the wild so far, so every bit of user information is on this forum, and I haven't seen any posted results yet. My unit is currently down needing to rework a battery wire and my day job taking up most of my time at the moment, so I haven't made any headway.

Re: I am confused, I think
I'll take a stab at answering.
I believe the lack of replies from anyone is due to everyone waiting for Justine to chime in. I assume her time has been taken up with getting the new official business paperwork and such taken care of and/or time working on getting her pick and place machine back in ...

Re: Build Complete
Mine does the same thing with the missing 'R.'
As far as the picking up only 2 goes, I think the "limit switch" might need to be adjusted so that it engages the cam a bit more and clicks on each rotation.

Build Complete
Despite some setbacks and a few full on fights with glue, I seem to have completed the phone.
Few comments:
1: With the manner of how I assembled my dialing assembly, it is possible to press the main board and the daughter board too tightly together and bind up the dialing mechanism, which I was ...

Re: Missing Parts
Got the filament squared away and ran into a snag getting ready to put the two boards together. I read the step, "Orient the Cam Gear so that the lobe is facing the limit switch’s roller." and thought: wait, what switch?

Re: Missing Parts
My lame excuse for internet sleuthing has revealed to me that the diameter is likely 1.75mm. However, PTFE filament seems to be a rather specialty product, as the closest thing I found that fits the bill is a PC/PTFE filament that is typically a bit cost prohibitive. So unless there's an approved ...

Re: Received my kit!
Hopefully the attached image is sufficient quality, the forum restricts attachments to 256k so I had to reduce it. I got a good start on my kit, but I had something like 6hours and multiple tries to get the dialer together. Lots of problems with trying to get the spring wound up. When I finally ...

Missing Parts
I know a couple missing parts were mentioned in the "Received my kit!" thread, but if anyone else might be missing things, it can go here!
I either didn't get my PTFE filament or lost it. (I'm pretty good at that some days)
If anyone would be willing to tell me the diameter of the filament I'd be ...

Re: Received my kit!
I've been sitting on mine for a week, as I needed to get my work bench cleaned off.
Aside from some glue mishaps, it's gone quite well. I've gotten to the governor stage but either I didn't get the PTFE filament or I lost it. If anyone knows the diameter of the filament, it'd help me find a ...
