My Project
I plan to build a Huxley due to its slightly smaller size, sourcing as many parts as possible myself as locally as possible to the United Kingdom and making any bits that I can myself. I am going to document it here on my user page in the hope that someone else finds the information useful!
I had planned to build the original Huxley despite issues that others have pointed out to me, however due to a lack of availability of the plastic parts for it I have started to build the 'techzone' Huxley variant as it is more well documented and the parts seem more readily available for it. When I started this project the eMaker Huxley had no documentation and there were no plastic parts available for it.
