During the Process of Building my printer, I made a list of all the problems that I had to tackle.
1. The 3D printer came with the wrong colors of filament and came with a European plug instead of American.
2. A screw was mislabeled. It stated that it was m3x6 when it really should have said m3x16
3. There were two ball bearings that came busted. A few of the balls came out and this is causing my printer to wobble and not print in a perfectly straight line.
4. One of the gold enlarged Nuts were warped on the inside. Therefore, the inserted rod was forced to tilt at a 30 degree angle when it is suppose to be perfectly parallel to the rest on the machine.
5. Adding the y-axis belt was not included in the instructions
6. Attaching the heat sinks was not included in the instructions.
7. Mounting the Computer board

Solving these Problems:
1. We ordered new filament, this time from the United States, and I used the plug from an old broken Vacuum.
2. I found that the correct screw was indeed 3x16 because it was the only screw that would fit in that hole size
3. I had the seller send us new ones so I could replace them
4. I used tin foil as makeshift shims (washers) under the nut until the seller sent us a new one
5. I used the same method as I did for the x axis belt to attach the y
6. I looked at a picture of my printer online and found where to put them
7. I again looked at a picture of my printer online and put it exactly where they had it.
