Plastruder Mk3 Assembly Observations

Plastruder Mk3 Assembly Observations

I just finished the construction of the Plastruder Mk3 Assembly. I have some minor problems and questions.

It appears that some parts were damaged in shipment:

Big Dino Right
Big Dino Left
Small Dino Left

Also there were some parts that were in the kit, however, they are not documented as to where they go.

RepRap Insulator Retainer RepRap Insulator Retainer - Don't know what this is used for
Idler Wheel - There were two of these in the kit, but only one called for in the kit
2x 1k ohm resistor - These are not called for
2x 5mm led red - These are not called for

Other than these forums, I don't see a place for contacting support. Is this the preferred method?

Thanks

The insulator retainer is for compatibility with the darwin reprap (since the extruder can be used on there). Its not required. The 2nd idler wheel i assume is a spare in case your other isnt round enough. The resistors and leds im pretty sure are just for testing the outputs. I never used them.
