Thank you for letting me know what that perf board was for. I believe my printer came with something like that. Did not know what is was so tossed it ("Thought it was packaging material"). Print on Vinyl Transfer Paper Medium Tack should change to High Tack on the Build Tak surface ("...

It only take a simply cardboard box that your controller will fit inside. Cover outside of the box with aluminum foil then connect the foil to ground, ("Use a jumper wire with alligators clips"). cut a few vent holes allow for a cooling fan. You can now place controller inside the box. Vie...

It is the time it takes me to familiarize with it, to do this requires me seeing it done. Video Tutorials works best for me as the words get co...
