Building process
Result of day 1 : http://www.flickr.com/photos/complete_bastiaan/6819602063/ built the frame and the y axis
Result of day 2 : http://www.flickr.com/photos/complete_bastiaan/6865284365/ built the z and x axis and started alignment and fine-tuning (more is still needed), also cemented the hot-end up
Some day later : http://www.flickr.com/photos/complete_bastiaan/6835564992/ _almost_ printed a flute :)
