Most of the 3D printed parts have been printed. All done on my Wanhao I3. Here's a pic of most of the parts that have been fabricated so far:

The following is a picture of one of the top front rod holder/pulley blocks having one of its pockets CNC milled. Turns out ProTrak mill programming is like riding a bicycle.
If you look closely at the vise, you'll see two black vise blocks. These were 3D printed solid, and have a cylinder boss that interfaces with the 12mm rod holes. They allowed me to align the part. I then used a gauge to pick up the inside of the other 12mm hole, the center of which became my zero.
The last few 3D printed parts are currently printing:
The following picture series shows modifications to the acrylic shell.

| Taped-on paper template + coping saw |
 |
| Finished screen hole. Used a file to clean up edges |
 |
| Test fitting the bezel |
 |
| Screen and bezel installed! |
 |
| Letters glued on |
 |
| Template for power socket |
 |
Power socket installed. I actually cut out the corners shown in the
previous picture so I could orient the socket the other way around. |
Left to fabricate:
- CNC mill Y-axis pulley blocks
- CNC mill X plate
- CNC mill bed plate
- Turn brass melt-in insert soldering iron tips
- Drilling and installing melt inserts
- Wiring
After that, lots of assembly.
