+**Summary:** Dual-extruder FDM printer, 2x 1.75mm filament; semi-auto bed-leveling; needs cleaning and lubricating; working, pending light maintenance.
 **State:** Machine powers on, reports temps and demonstrates working endstops on auto-homing. The printer has slightly jerky rod movement and is pretty dirty/dusty from use and storage. Semi-auto bed-levelling test's ok, heaters reach temps with no problems. Prints can be started via USB or via SD card.

+**Summary:** Single extruder delta FDM printer; 1.75mm Filament; uses OctoPi; small print area; working but experiences occasional TEMP ERROR and shut-off during print.
-**State:** The machine powers on and prints via wifi using the onboard OctoPi installation. The print area is small due to bed-leveling limitations (printable area drawn on bed itself). Manual 3-point bed-levelling is done using the GUI to position. Fast or fine detail prints are not recommended. The power supply has been repurposed and may need to be replaced.

 In order to be able to print, the following maintenance steps will be required first:
-  * Bed re-levelling
+  * Investigate/fix source of occasional TEMP ERROR shutoff (loose thermistor wiring, at a guess)
+  * Manual bed re-levelling (upgrading to BLtouch-driven autoleveling would be a vast improvement)
   * Source a power supply
+UPDATE 22/01/21: Alternative power supply located. Drop-off at space pending.
