I decided to build a 3DLabPrint Joker and Spitfire over the winter months. It has been a fair amount research locating the required components so here is a list of what I will be using for the Joker build. The first print went well using the recommended settings from 3DLabPrint and Simplify3D on my Prusa i3 MK3S printer. Updates to follow as the build progresses.
In the next updates I will go over my review of the printing processes, post print processing, component selection and assembly.
