| - | This started out as one user's documentation of the building of one instance of the **Bukobot 8 Duo kit**, the model that has dual extruders and a heated bed platform, but now it has multiple contributors and describes multiple models. Nearly everything here should apply equally well to all current versions of the Bukobot. You are welcome to improve this crowdsourced documentation. Please note the licenses listed at the bottom of each page. | + | (**Note:** In mid-2013, Deezmaker introduced version 2 of the Bukobot line. It has diverged from version 1 in many ways, so adding its documentation to the following pages would probably create a lot of confusion. But because the [[bukobot-assembly-documentation|v2 documentation]] is currently in its early stages, users of v2 may find it useful to read through this v1 documentation, keeping in mind that some of it does not apply to them. Those who wish to help document v2 may wish to copy-and-paste applicable sections from these older docs to the new. But please leave these docs intact, in support of v1 users.) |

| This is not Deezmaker's "official" build manual. Their manual is still largely unwritten, and is likely to stay that way until they have shipped all of the Kickstarter machines, but do refer to the things that are [[bukobot-assembly-documentation|already there]], and check back there occasionally. Fairly complete, and extremely useful, [[bukobot-parts-list|parts lists]] have recently been added. | This is not Deezmaker's "official" build manual.

| Now that many people have received their kits, there are multiple contributors to this documentation (nearly all of them volunteers) and it is changing on a daily basis. If you are building a kit and reading this documentation, and you reach a point where something doesn't make sense, go back to the beginning of the documentation and read it through to see if clarification has been added in the meantime. If the mystery remains, ask on the [[http://forum.bukobot.com/index.php?topic=2.0|forum]]. New errors creep into these pages all the time. | Now that many people have received their kits, there are multiple contributors to this documentation (nearly all of them volunteers) and it is changing on a daily basis.

| - | This documentation is meant to be inclusive. It should apply to anyone who has received a Bukobot kit, even the "early adopters" who received some parts that are significantly different than the ones currently shipping. Please resist the urge to delete text and images that do not apply to the kit you got. Once all of the early adopters have built their kits and started printing, and therefore have the ability to print the current parts for themselves, we can clean up the documentation. | + | This documentation is meant to be inclusive.

| When documenting, be careful about the assumptions you make. Some kit builders got hardware that goes together differently. Some kit builders live in places that use different electricity. Some builders live in places where the local hardware store carries a very poor selection of metric hardware. | When documenting, be careful about the assumptions you make.

| + | Make an [[jitsbuild-inventory|inventory]] of the parts you receive before you begin building.

| Read the section on [[Cleaning up printed parts|cleaning up the 3D printed parts]].
