Ryan blindfolded, me not. And I bet he still beats me LOL. But he has the full cad plastered in his head as a cheat sheet 
Actually I do. Just send me a free kit and Iāll race you.
I honestly think I could do it in 4-6 hours if I donāt have to crimp and test wire connectors, remembered the right assembly order and had all parts laid out with the right tools nearby. My major time suck is stopping to think about the best way to do āthis thingā or find that bolt or fishing wire back and forth because I forgot oneā¦ then grab a snack while I consider other bling options and try to remember where I put that one tool or clear off space from my miniature work space.
It is fun though. I love the first movements once it has taken shape and starts to work.

lolā¦ I guess I forgot to mention the part where the blindfolds get pulled off when it starts 
Just so you start on an even footing.

Yes you did!
I still think he would beat me blindfolded!
But lets see him actually build a full sheet one, not one of his baby ones
I actually just got an order for a 24" cut version so this will be my first baby LR. Should be real easy LOL. Showing me that I need another printer that can print the CF filament lol. Time to order another nozzle I guess LOL
ā¦
That didnāt take longā¦

No new printer, just adjustments to what I already have is all. I have an entire printer that hasnāt been tuned on in 3 months. I think I am just going to take the ERCF off of it for now and get it printing PLA again so I can have 2 printing PLA and 2 printing PET-CF. Seems to make the most sense rather than it sitting there collecting dust LOL
Iāll send the ERCF to you, you can get it working good for me and then send it back
yeahā¦sureā¦thatāll happenā¦

Hmm, I really thought it would take me 2-3 hours to get it together. The thing that took me longest where the endstops on my RC2 because my cables were too short and it was a pain getting them in.
If you buy Ryanās kit, you only have to crimp the endstops, right? And one connection between them and the cables you bought? The rest ist just a million screws.
Core, Beam and Wiring were super fast to assemble. Belt mount and adjusting was bit finicky but better than LR3. Most time was spent on building YZ, makes sense since thereās a bunch of stuff crammed into the YZs. Limited docs, and doing 
wrong, slowed my progress, that and all the micro analyzing feedback cycles for stuff to help maximize success for future builders. Docs and video wouldāve significantly helped avoid some misstepsā¦
2nd LR4 RC3 assembly was way way faster. We built YZs, Core and Beam in just a few hours despite the drinking.
Maslow CNC folks ran a few in-person open house build workshop sessions soon after they first started shipping Maslow 4.
This was a great mutually beneficial experience for the Makers, and the Maslow CNC folks.
The Makers got dedicated time, space, tools and a test cutting sled. Great environment to build and tryout their Maslow 4ās. Which otherwise may have remained boxed and gathering dust. Makers got to build their Maslow 4ās relatively quickly compared to muddling through fresh instructions alone. They got to meet and connect with other like minded Makers, and help one another with their builds.
Maslow CNC folks got to observe build experience for first timers, and experienced builders. Obtain realtime feedback, gain insights that shifted/broadened their perspective and assumptions. The workshop helped Maslow folks accelerate the number of Maslow 4ās out there actually up and running doing stuff, this in turn provided more opportunities to get feedback and tune hardware/firmware/instructions.
Anyway, thatās my observation, consider chatting with Bar for his perspective, if something along these lines e.g. hybrid in-person and online workshop would help everyone involved.

I am hopefully going to be able to film the next assembly and also make a short guide. If I get the parts before the next weekend, that should easily be doable, because itās a long weekend.
