Didn't want to, but I had to do it

Well, I finally broke down and ordered the newest version of the makerbot plastruder. I was really hoping that my DIY efforts could make me a suitable plastruder clone, but I guess the software/firmware for the makerbot is made to a very tight tolerance and my parts are over that tolerance. But this time i'm going to make patterns and take measurements of all pieces I get so that I can keep within tolerance. So until it arrives, I guess I'll work on my filament spool/holder.
